flotex hygenic textle flooring

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Flotex is a unique textile flooring that has the look and feel of carpet but the cleanability of resilient flooring like linoleum or vinyl

All Flotex floorings are manufactured by using up to 80 million straight nylon fibers per square meter.  These are electrostatically flocked into the backing of the floor.  Because the nylon fibers in the Flotex floors are standing straight, they capture fine dust and allergens and released only when vacuumed.  In addition, all stains can be removed with water alone or a combination of water and household cleaners.

Why you should choose Flotex?

When you need a new floor in your building or room, sometimes it's difficult to choose which type of floor will fulfill your needs in the best way.  There are many different floor coverings available and each flooring type has its own advantages.

We will discuss the characteristics of our Flotex flooring in more detail.  Maybe it will help you choose the right flooring solution!

Allergy free

Allergy UK has conducted a survey to ask people how they think about their workplace in relation to the presence of allergens. They concluded that close to 27% of working people could be allergic to their workplace.

Flotex has a unique construction that captures allergens and fine dust from the air and is easy to clean. It is even a better textile solution for allergens than hypoallergenic carpet floors. Vacuuming a Flotex flooring removes double the allergens compared to conventional carpet floors. This is one of the reasons why Forbo's Flotex flocked flooring is the only textile floor covering to be awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™.

Washable flooring

Flotex floorings are waterproof and washable with many different cleaning products. Even mechanical wet cleaning is possible on this flooring solution. Because Flotex captures allergens and fine dust from the air, it's important to clean the floor in a good and easy way. The good thing is that the fibres of Flotex effortlessly release dust and allergens during cleaning, both dry and wet cleaning.

Carpet floors are also washable in many different ways, but because of the complex structure of the fibres dust and allergens will settle in the carpet floor over time. When you compare Flotex and carpet floorings, Flotex is definitely the most hygienic textile flooring solution.

Another advantage of Flotex floorings is the fast drying characteristic. When you need to clean your floor because something felt on the ground, for example, Flotex will be dry in a very short amount of time.

Wearability/Durability

Flotex is different from other textile floor coverings due to its unique construction. By combining a high density flocked surface with a heavy duty resilient foundation Flotex offers the best of both worlds.

Discover the durability and toughness of Flotex, which comes as a result of the 80 million nylon 6.6. fibres per square metre, while experiencing the quietness and comfort normally only associated with a carpet. This is a result of the impervious cushioned backing and high pile density. Because of its durable construction, the fibres will return to their original position and the floor remains as new.

Sound reduction

In some environments, it's essential to have spaces with low sound levels. Schools and offices are typical examples where noise is not appreciated. To illustrate: the number one concentration problem in schools is noise and during office working hours people's performance drops 66% when they are exposed to distracting noise. Therefore a sound reducing flooring solution could be an advantage in these environments.

The fibres within Flotex floorings offer the experience of quietness and comfort normally only associated with a carpet. Flotex has ≤ 22 dB impact on sound reduction and 0.25 in room sound rating. Flotex is the perfect flooring solution to avoid lots of noise in every room.

Slip resistant

We all want a safe environment in every room we visit. The floor is one of the key indicators to keep your room safe. Flotex floorings are slip resistant, in dry and wet conditions. This is a big advantage if, for example, you are cleaning the floor while people are walking over it.
