flotex
prairies

In our new Flotex Prairies collection, grounding shades of warm and cool neutrals blend, support, and highlight pops of color in saturated hues and tonal gradations. Lines and texture shift and fade in layers, creating depth and movement across the space.

The Prairies collection is inspired by the colors of the rainbow, grouped together in pairs of hue and tone, to create depth and movement across the Prairies. Colors and patterns define spaces and create smooth transitions from one hue to another with soft, tonal gradations. Combine 2 or more colors and patterns, or combine all 20 for a dynamic installation. The possibilities are endless!

    Environment

    A sustainable floor

    Green electricity
    Forbo’s manufacturing operations for Flotex in Great Britain and France secure a high quality floor covering, produced with green electricity and minimum waste streams that are all recycled in the floor.

    Water based
    Flotex is created with nylon 6.6 fibres. All dies and inks that are used to create the Flotex designs are water based. No additional chemical processes take place other than high temperature steam treatment to secure the colors.

    Recycled content
    Flotex makes use of waste streams of other Forbo production locations to be transformed into the backing of the floor coverings. Recycled content in Flotex is up to 59% of the backing content.

    Extremely durable
    A big advantage for using Flotex is the extreme performance of the floor covering, with a product life time that surpasses that of ordinary textiles by a factor 6.

    Simple cleaning & maintenance
    Flotex can be cleaned by using water and a simple detergent. For most staining, simple household soap is enough to clean the product, while other detergent clean away ink, oil and more severe stains. After use Flotex can be recycled back into the production process.

    About Flotex planks

    Flotex planks: sophistication & style

    Flotex is neither a true textile, nor is it a resilient flooring. Its unique dense fiber construction succeeds in combining the best of both worlds: comfort
    & resilience. Flotex offers a flooring solution for areas where safety, hygiene and well-being are in high demand.

    As modular flooring is a major trend, we've developed our new Flotex Planks collection, containing 6 unique designs in plank sizes of 9.84” x 39.37”(100x25 cm). Stunning floorplans can be created with the contemporary designs that match every requirement.

    Application & use
    The versatile Flotex Plank designs lend themselves equally well to contemporary or classic office environments as to areas like airport lounges, congress centers, restaurants or hotels.

    The 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 1 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 1 single colour is used.

    Cleaning and Maintenance

    Cleaner for longer

    A textile flooring with the ease of cleaning a resilient is the true quality of Flotex. When prescribed cleaning procedures are followed, Flotex outperforms any textile floorcovering in appearance. It’s smooth upright nylon 6.6 fibres allow dirt to be easily removed by ordinary vacuuming. No dry dirt is trapped by any loops or brush edges of the fibre and the vacuum action reaches the very base of the pile, meaning that all dirt is removed. The vinyl base combined with the nylon 6.6 top layer allows it to be cleaned with water and detergents, simply washing away any spills or stains. Steam cleaning or mechanical cleaning methods can be applied. Flotex is the truly washable textile, dries quickly and as such stays cleaner for longer.
