You would never expect heavy ski boots, ice skates or shopping carts on a carpet. On the other hand it would be ideal since the noise that these items normally produce over a hard or ceramic floor is enormous. Flotex is extremely hard wearing and the textile piles will not break. Besides it is also easy to clean so no reason not to choose a textile floor, as long as it is Flotex.
From ice skate rings to ski centers and from trains to changing rooms and sport gyms, Flotex stands up to the heavy impact and even under wet conditions it remains slip resistant.
When walking with ice skates it is like walking with knives on your feet and still the floor holds up really well. In addition to cleanability Flotex has good acoustic properties providing a relaxing atmosphere.
Flotex is a unique textile floor covering that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet. Flotex is a strong and hygienic floor, and being completely waterproof, it is also is a the only truly washable textile floor.
Flotex floor coverings are manufactured with up to 80 million straight nylon fibres per m². Because the nylon fibres in the Flotex floors are standing straight ahead, they capture fine dust and allergens.
This unique structure ensures these can be released when vacuumed. That is why Flotex is the only textile flooring with a British Allergy Foundation approval.
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 can result in bacterial growth and an unhygienic floor over time.
Flotex offers the quietness and comfort of a carpet but has a better hygienic performance.
