Advantages of Forna Real Stone Floating Floors

Forna Real Stone floating floors have a thin natural slate surface. This flooring seamlessly integrates the durable attributes of real stone with the advantageous properties of cork, resulting in an innovative and practical flooring option.

Stone and cork construction: Natural slate over a cork base layer, with thermal insulation, impact-noise reduction and warmth underfoot. Click-lock installation joins the floor panels. Slate and mica slate vary in colour and texture. For wall installation, cut back the tongue, keep the groove intact and attach panels to wall studs with a brad nailer.

Forna Real Stone floating floors combine natural stone surfaces with cork backing.

Natural stone can be scratched by several sources, including:

• Abrasive Materials: Dirt, sand, and debris tracked in on shoes can scratch natural stone floors.
• Heavy Furniture: Dragging furniture across the floor can cause scratches on the surface.

While natural stone is durable, it may not be as resilient as some man-made materials. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can maintain its surface. For high-traffic commercial spaces or busy households, we recommend our Techslate products, designed for enhanced durability.

Tips for Protecting Your Natural Stone Flooring

Follow these guidelines to keep your natural stone flooring looking its best:

• Seal: Apply a sealant immediately after installation to protect against scratches, stains, and marks.
• Clean Regularly: Use a mild, pH-balanced cleaner and a dry mop to prevent buildup that can cause scratches.
• Use Mats and Furniture Pads: Place doormats at entrances to minimize dirt and sand, and use furniture pads under heavy items to avoid scratches.
• Avoid Dragging Furniture: Lift heavy items instead of dragging them to prevent scuff marks or scratches.
• Sweep and Mop Frequently: Regularly sweep and mop to remove dirt and debris that could damage the surface.
• Use a Dry Mop or Vacuum: Gently clean dirt and sand with a dry mop or vacuum to avoid scratching.

By following these care practices, your natural stone floors will maintain their elegance and durability for years to come.
