Smoked Basalt Homogeneous Vinyl Roll Flooring with Industrial Character
Smoked basalt draws its inspiration from the textured surfaces of lava formations, translating that raw geological energy into a refined, dark-toned flooring product. Part of the Forbo Sphera Elite b+ Collection, smoked basalt is manufactured as a homogeneous vinyl roll in which colour is unified through the entire 2mm profile, eliminating any risk of the surface appearance changing as the floor ages with use. The 200cm roll width and 27-metre length make smoked basalt a highly practical specification for large commercial floor areas and ambitious residential refurbishments alike.
Smoked basalt is a 100% waterproof, glue-down vinyl sheet flooring that performs reliably in the most demanding environments. Its dense, dark composition offers exceptional resistance to the visible effects of heavy foot traffic, and its smooth surface texture simplifies the hygiene maintenance routines required in healthcare, education, and food service settings. The homogeneous construction means there is no wear layer to deplete — the colour and surface quality of smoked basalt endure consistently throughout its service life, making it a cost-effective, durable flooring investment for facilities managers and developers.
The aesthetic personality of smoked basalt is one of quiet strength and urban sophistication. This colour sits at the intersection of industrial design and refined modernism — dark enough to create genuine visual drama, yet with a smoky warmth that prevents it from feeling harsh or cold. Smoked basalt pairs exceptionally well with raw concrete ceilings, exposed steel structures, and matte-finish cabinetry, making it a natural choice for loft conversions, warehouse-style office spaces, and contemporary restaurant or bar environments.
At Yaletown Floor, smoked basalt is available as part of a wider collection that gives designers and contractors access to a complete range of coordinating tones and complementary hues. The glue-down installation system ensures a perfectly bonded, flat surface that performs reliably over the long term. For those who demand modern flooring that communicates strength, character, and technical excellence in equal measure, smoked basalt is a defining option within the Forbo Sphera Elite b+ family.
