Transforming a London bathroom with Forbo Marmoleum White Chocolate Decibel Flooring

So at Fenston Carter we only supply and deliver but at Cavendish de Vere, they take great pride in delivering flooring solutions that combine aesthetics, durability, and practicality. One of their recent projects in London involved the installation of Forbo Marmoleum White Chocolate Decibel, a high-performance flooring solution ideal for top-floor flats where sound reduction is crucial. This project was a fantastic example of how proper preparation and material selection can elevate a space while improving its functionality.

The Installation Process

Achieving a flawless flooring finish starts with meticulous preparation. For this project, they followed a structured process to ensure the Forbo Marmoleum Decibel was installed smoothly and securely - because they are expert lino fitters in London.

Step 1: Preparing the Subfloor
Before they could begin installing the new flooring, it was essential to create a stable and level foundation:

  • Applied primer to the subfloor and allowed it to dry fully, ensuring maximum adhesion for the subsequent layers.

  • Applied screed across the entire subfloor area, levelling out any imperfections and creating a uniform surface.

  • Applied a feather finish and sanded the floor to achieve a perfectly smooth, flat surface, essential for Marmoleum installation.

Step 2: Measuring, Cutting & Fitting the Marmoleum

  • Using professional templates where necessary, they then measured and cut the Forbo Marmoleum White Chocolate Decibel to precisely fit the layout of the flat.

  • They then adhered the flooring securely to the subfloor using a specialist adhesive, ensuring a firm bond for long-lasting durability.

  • Careful attention was paid to joins and seams, making sure they were flush and seamless to maintain the high-end aesthetic.

Step 3: Cleaning & Site Clearance
After the flooring was installed, they performed a thorough clean-up of the site, removing any installation debris and leaving the space spotless and ready for use.

Why We Used Forbo Marmoleum White Chocolate Decibel

The choice of Forbo Marmoleum White Chocolate Decibel was driven by both practical and aesthetic considerations. This natural, sustainable flooring offers several key benefits, making it the perfect fit for this top-floor London flat:

  • Superior Acoustic Properties: The Decibel version of Marmoleum is thicker than standard options, providing 18dB sound reduction. This was a crucial factor for the client, as the property is located on the top floor, meaning effective noise insulation was necessary to reduce sound transfer to the flats below.

  • Durability & Low Maintenance: Marmoleum is known for its exceptional durability, resisting wear and tear even in high-traffic areas. It is also easy to clean, making it a perfect choice for modern urban living.

  • Sustainable & Natural: Made from renewable materials, Marmoleum is an eco-friendly flooring solution that aligns with the growing demand for sustainable home improvements.

  • Stylish Aesthetic: The White Chocolate shade offers a neutral, warm tone, enhancing the brightness and spacious feel of the flat while complementing a variety of interior styles.
