The Look

The name Surprising Storm suggests a stormy, grey-leaning character with some depth. We do not have a Forbo colour description, so please order a sample to judge it.

Why Choose Surprising Storm

• Moody tone: adds depth to a modern scheme.
• Basement capable: listed for above, on and below grade installation.
• Waterproof core: handles everyday spills.
• Quiet: cork backing on every panel.

Installation

In a basement, test the concrete first: Forbo allows up to 75% internal relative humidity, requires a vapor barrier such as QuietWalk Versa, and excludes rooms with floor drains or sump pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
