Flotex is easy to clean and maintain

Flotex’s straight nylon fibres trap dust and allergens, but they are easily released with vacuuming. In fact, Flotex removes twice as many allergens compared to conventional carpets, making it a healthier and cleaner choice.
Flotex installation & floorcare instructions

Flotex floors

Flotex floor coverings are manufactured with up to 80 million upright nylon fibres per m². Because of this construction, the nylon fibres in Flotex capture fine dust and allergens which are then released when vacuumed.

Flotex is the only textile flooring with the prestigious Seal of Approval from the British Allergy Foundation.

Carpet floors

Loop pile carpet or loose nylon cut pile fibres retain fine dust and allergens, however, they’re not easily released due to the complex nature of the surface pile, which, over time, can result in bacterial growth and an unhygienic floor.

Flotex offers the quietness and comfort of a carpet but has a better hygienic performance.

Awarded by British Allergy Foundation
Flotex is the only textile floor covering to be awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™ and proven to have positive impact on the lives of allergy sufferers. Because of its highly dense pile, twice as many allergens are trapped in Flotex’s nylon fibres and released upon vacuuming in comparison to conventional carpet.

Recycled content
Flotex makes use of waste streams of other Forbo production locations to be added into the backing of the floor coverings. Recycled content in Flotex is up to 67% of the backing content.

Sound absorbing & slip resistant
Excellent sound absorption properties make Flotex an acoustic flooring solution with >19 dB impact sound reduction. Further, Flotex floors provide a safe environment for all age groups as it prevents tripping or slipping hazards both in dry and wet conditions.

Green electricity
Forbo's manufacturing operations for Flotex in Great Britain, France and USA secure a high quality floor covering, produced with green electricity and minimum waste streams that are all recycled in the floor.
