KBAC Flooring Distributors for Acclaimed Bolon Flooring KBAC Flooring is now the sole S.A. distributors for the acclaimed and extensive range of Bolon woven vinyl floor coverings from Sweden. B olon, which has its head office and production plant at Ulricehamn, was founded in Stockholm in 1949, and is now managed by the third generation of family owners - the sisters, Marie and Annica Eklund, who have transformed Bolon into an internationally respected design brand. Bolon was the first company in the world to produce woven vinyl floor coverings and its products have been installed in more than 30 countries with clients that include iconic brands such as Google, Mercedes-Benz, Armani, Adidas, and Sheraton; and renowned collaborators such as Tom Dixon, Jean Nouvel, Cappelliini, and Missoni. The Bolon range is ideal for public environments – particularly upmarket hotels and exclusive shops - and meets stringent standards for fire safety, wear and durability and sound insulation. KBAC expects the product to be hugely popular with local interior designers, particularly because of Bolon’s emphasis on sustainability. Bolon has been implementing a progressive and inclusive environmental im p rovement p ro g r amme, B o l o n Green, in its operations for many years, which has contributed to the company being certified to leading global environ-mental standards such as FloorScore, GreenTag and BREEAM. Bolon’s Environmental Management System holds ISO14001 certification. KBAC Flooring supplied and installed Bolon flooring for the footwear area of the new Woolworths store in the massive Mall of Africa in Midrand. KBAC provided three Bolon ranges for the new impressive store: Bolon Studio Play (in hexagon format), and Bolon Studio Natural and Studio Luxury (both in triangle format).
