Flotex - or why pay extra and buy a flocked carpet for years to come?

When designing an office space, hotel or other public building, it is certainly important that the floor covering meets several conditions at the same time. As a rule, architects are looking for solutions that combine both design and functionality and meet safety requirements.

Let's try to answer the question ourselves - is it worth buying a floor covering that is nice, but hard to keep clean? If so, won't it be a nuisance to constantly fight with dirt?

This begs the question - is there a perfect carpet? One that both looks good and performs well and meets all the required safety standards? The answer is yes.

It is Flotex flocked flooring from Forbo Flooring System.

Forbo Flooring System is the only company in the world to use 'electrostatic flocking' technology in the production of Flotex flooring, which involves embedding millions of waterproof nylon fibres in an impermeable PVC backing (almost 80 million fibres per square metre).

Thanks to this technology, it is a product that combines the comfort of a carpet with the functionality of PVC flooring.

Flotex behaves and looks like a carpet - it is soft, comfortable and has excellent sound absorption, and the short, dense fibres do not collect dust or allergens, making it allergy-friendly.

It is completely waterproof and when stains and soiling occur, they can be washed off effortlessly with warm water and a brush.

Flotex is rated 33, making it suitable for high traffic areas (hotels, kindergartens, healthcare facilities and open-plan areas). In addition, the product has an excellent effect on acoustics - it provides impact sound reduction (up to ≤ 22 dB) and room sound absorption of 0.25 (H), which means a better soundproofed room and the whole building. It also has an anti-slip surface to ensure user safety.

The design of Flotex flocked carpets makes it extremely resistant to abrasion, and this is backed up by the manufacturer's 10-year guarantee.
