Testimonials

“We are happy with the refreshed flooring throughout the facility. The Flotex carpet on the ramp has provided added grip underfoot, which is a terrific outcome. The flooring holds up well to the rigors of continual use and cleaning, and little spillages from guests and support dogs. The facility presents really well and we could not fault the result.” – Urban Camp

“We needed a carpet that could easily be cleaned. It was important to Grimshaw that the space looked just as good today as it does in 10 years. Flotex was easily the obvious choice to meet the performance requirements...” – Amanda York, Interior Design Lead at Grimshaw.


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.
