Forbo's Flotex flocked flooring is the only textile floor covering to be awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™. 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. The first textile to be approved by Allergy UK, this unique flocked floor covering is proven to positively impact on the lives of allergy sufferers.
Research suggests that there are 5.7 million people who could be allergic to their place of work. Read our Work Fever Report, compiled in conjunction with Allergy UK, and find out how Flotex can help create better indoor environments.

The dense surface pile makes Flotex extremely durable, while its upright polyamide filaments and impermeable PVC backing means it can be cleaned right down to the base. The polyamide pile captures airborne allergens and fine dust, which is easily released through vacuuming, thereby contributing towards better indoor air quality.

The Flotex planks Wood and Seagrass design, because of their natural and warm feel, even go down well in homely environments like housing for the aged and care facilities.
Sophistication & style
Flotex planks offer endless possibilities to mix and match colours within one design. Laying patterns can also create stimulating and lively environments with zigzag motives or herringbone designs. Flotex planks show little repeat in their patterning, creating interesting and beautiful floors even when only one single colour is used.
