Beton Marmoleum Roll — Raw Concrete Grey Flooring for Brutalist-Inspired Interiors
Beton — the French word for concrete — is a floor color that strips design back to its structural essentials. A raw, flat grey that mimics the matte surface of poured concrete almost exactly, beton from the Forbo Marmoleum Roll Solid Concrete collection is a highly architectural floor shade for interiors that value material honesty and industrial clarity. Supplied in 2.5mm thickness, 200cm width, and 33m per roll, beton suits residential and commercial use environments.
Beton is the natural choice for brutalist-influenced, new-industrial, and loft-style interiors where concrete is already present as a structural and aesthetic material. It extends the concrete palette of exposed ceilings, columns, and walls to the floor plane, creating total material continuity across the entire room. Unlike actual poured concrete, beton in Marmoleum is 100% waterproof, antibacterial, and significantly softer underfoot — advantages that make beton a superior modern flooring choice for any space where concrete aesthetics are desired without concrete's functional limitations.
Glue-down installation ensures beton achieves a perfectly flat, seamless finish across the full roll width — critical in a raw, minimal aesthetic where any disruption to the floor plane would be immediately visible. As a durable flooring material, beton handles the demands of high-traffic commercial and residential use without surface wear, and Marmoleum's anti-static surface properties contribute to cleaner indoor air quality than most equivalent luxury vinyl flooring options. Beton is also easy to maintain with standard wet mopping, with no specialist products required.
Beton is rated 100% waterproof and suitable for wet-area specification in bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and laboratory environments. Forbo Marmoleum is manufactured from renewable natural raw materials using a certified carbon-neutral production process, making beton a floor that satisfies both uncompromising aesthetic vision and genuine environmental responsibility. At Yaletown Floor, beton is available as part of the full Marmoleum Concrete collection with samples and specification advice available.
