🌟 Why Choose Flotex by Forbo?
💡 What Is Flotex?
Flotex is a unique flocked flooring solution that merges the softness and warmth of carpet with the robust durability and waterproof character of resilient flooring.
Key Selling Points
* Unmatched Cleanability & Hygiene
Flotex is fully waterproof, making it the only truly washable textile floor. It captures allergens and dust, then releases them easily during vacuuming—flushing out up to 76% after vacuuming, and 97% after spray-extraction—compared to far lower rates in traditional carpet.
* Certified Allergy Protection
Proud to be the only textile floor covering awarded the Allergy UK Seal of Approval™, Flotex is ideal for allergy-sensitive environments.
* Extreme Durability & Comfort
Constructed with up to 80 million nylon 6.6 fibres per m², Flotex offers softness underfoot while promising exceptional wear resistance—lasting up to six times longer than typical carpets.
* Acoustic & Slip Performance
Combines sound absorption, impact noise reduction, and slip-resistant properties, making it safe and quiet—even in wet conditions. It meets HSE slip-resistance standards.
* Sustainable & Non-toxic
Manufactured using 100% green electricity, water-based inks, and up to 59% recycled content. It is phthalate-free, low-VOC, and REACH compliant.
