Flotex Evolves

16 May 2012
Flotex from Forbo Flooring Systems is going from strength to strength with a new sheet collection offering exciting designs and more than 100 new colourways in line with current interior trends.

Combining the properties of both textile and resilient flooring Flotex has always been in a league of its own but these latest aesthetic enhancements make the innovative high performance floor covering a practical and design minded choice for a wider range of commercial interiors than ever before.



Over 58 new colourways and five new stocked designs - Spin, Pulse, Cord, Vector and Field - have been introduced to the Flotex HD (high definition) collection, which features designs with superior ‘textured’ aesthetics and a three-dimensional appearance. Forming large endless pattern repeats with rich, vibrant colours, these designs make the range stylish and completely on trend for contemporary interiors. An additional eight designs can be manufactured to order.


The Flotex Classic collection, characterised by more subtle colour nuances and a practical, geometric look, has been enhanced with 40 additional colours and a new design range, Calgary, which is a soft natural design offered in a wide colour choice, perfect for large open spaces requiring a muted ambience.

“Flotex really has evolved,” says Julie Dempster, Marketing Manager at Forbo Flooring Systems. “The vivid and vibrant design capabilities of Flotex HD have changed the product offer beyond all recognition. Its unrivalled performance proposition and enhanced design potential means Flotex stands out in a class of its own – a completely distinctive flooring solution.”

Thanks to its unique composition of millions of densely packed electrostatically flocked nylon fibres firmly anchored into a vinyl base layer, Flotex combines the hard wearing and washable characteristics of a resilient floor with the warmth, comfort and acoustic properties of carpet. The construction has earned Flotex BAF certification because of the way allergens are trapped and released safely through vacuuming to create a more comfortable environment. In addition, the highly effective anti-microbial treatment Sanitized® means Flotex offers constant protection against bacteria including MSRA and E-coli. All Flotex floor coverings have BRE global accreditation.

Forbo’s integrated approach to the development of its new sheet collection means that Flotex can be coordinated with designs from the manufacturers’ linoleum, vinyl, entrance flooring and carpet tile collections, enabling the creation of truly integrated flooring design concepts.
