DURABILITY
Flotex is a floor covering with excellent durability
The surface pile of Flotex is made using Nylon 6.6, a very strong and durable fibre that gives Flotex its hardwearing properties and soil-hiding capabilities.
Flotex is specially formulated with a pile direction so pile crushing does not occur, as well as using dyes that will not wear or fade over time, enabling the product to retain its visual appearance for years to come.
The surface pile is made up of up to 80 million 2mm fibres per square metre, making it extremely dense and therefore very well suited to high traffic areas - coping especially well with busy exercise classes and gym facilities. Flotex achieves a wear class 33 for commercial heavy use according to EN-ISO 10874 meaning it also copes very well with heavy gym equipment.
Due to the strength of Nylon 6.6, it is very difficult to damage Flotex’s surface pile. Flotex will also not fray - as it is made up of many short fibres, loose yarns over time are not an issue. Flotex is also extremely dimensionally stable. Thanks two two layers of fibreglass embedded in the backing, Flotex will not stretch, curl or tear, making it easy to install and extremely long-lasting.
WATERPROOF & QUICK-DRYING
Flotex flocked flooring is 100% impermeable and dries quicker than most carpets.
Flotex has 100% impermeable backing, making it waterproof and a truly washable floorcovering. The PVC adhesive layer that bonds the flocked pile surface to the product backing is waterproof, providing an impermeable layer that resists moisture. This ensures nothing will seep through the product and into the subfloor, making Flotex more hygienic and longer-lasting than other textile floorcoverings. Flotex is also very quick-drying in comparison to other textile floor coverings.
EASY TO CLEAN
The cleanability of Flotex is unparalleled compared to other textile floor coverings.
With a 10 year guarantee, Flotex is well suited to areas where durability and cleanability are essential, perfect for busy gym facilities with little down time The highly dense pile surface of straight, upright Nylon 6.6 fibres makes Flotex incredibly easy to clean.
The tightly packed fibres reduce the potential for soiling deposits whilst the impermeable backing means it can be cleaned down to the base of the flock, making Flotex a truly washable textile floor covering.
Whether it’s water soluble stains such as coffee, ketchup, cola, wine or a greasy stain like butter, engine oil or permanent marker, it can be removed from Flotex. Flotex is also exceptionally hygienic. Sanitizing tests by Melbec Microbiology (2017) show that when Flotex is cleaned with a disinfectant, more than 99% of bacteria is removed, making it ideal for workout spaces that are exposed to a lot of sweat!
