Forbo's Flotex flocked flooring is the only textile floor covering to be awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™.
With a recent report by Allergy UK estimating that there are millions of people “allergic to their own home”, the importance of floor coverings in creating better indoor environments should not be overlooked. Due to its highly dense pile, twice as many allergens are trapped in Flotex's nylon fibres and released upon vacuuming in comparison to conventional carpet. Flotex flocked flooring has been proven to have a positive impact on the lives of allergy sufferers due to its unique properties.
Offering the warmth and comfort of a carpet but with the durability and cleanability of a resilient floor covering, Flotex opens up a world of colour and design to allergy sufferers who previously had to steer clear of textile floor coverings.
The Allergy UK Seal of Approval™ is a globally recognised product endorsement to assure consumers that a product has been independently scientifically tested and proven to be effective in reducing allergens and is approved by a trusted organisation which is committed to helping people affected by allergy.

Our Forbo Flooring Systems tagline - creating better environments - expresses our awareness, commitment and efforts towards sustainability. For our Flotex floors, we have taken concrete steps to be as durable as possible.
Durable production
• Controlled supply chain certification – ISO 140001 and 9001 standards and SA8000 for ethical supply chain.
• All Flotex products are manufactured with 100% green electricity and have very low product emissions.
• 86% of the factory waste is recycled.
• Flotex sheet contains up to 20% and Flotex tiles and planks up to 59% recycled content.
• Water-based inks and dyes are used for production.
• No additional chemical processes take place other than high temperature steam treatment to secure the colours.
Long lasting & healthy floor
• Flotex has a product lifetime that surpasses that of ordinary textiles.
• Flotex is 100% phthalate free.
• Only 100% safe and traceable REACH compliant materials are used.
• Flotex is the only textile floor covering approved by the British Allergy Foundation.
• The highly dense structure of Flotex prevents dirt penetration and its vertical fibres easily release dust and dirt, making it easy to clean the floor.
