Live Fast, Love Flock

In today’s non-stop world, indoor environments have a crucial part to play in enhancing wellbeing and reducing emissions. As the only textile to have the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™, and delivering both ultra-low VOC emissions and zero phthalates, Flotex flocked flooring covers all the bases, creating great indoor environments to live, work, learn, interact and play in.
What is Flotex? Back to The Science of Flocking

Allergy UK approved textile flooring

How can Flotex help?

Thanks to its unique flocked construction, allergens are trapped within the densely packed flocked pile of Flotex, minimising the number of allergens in the atmosphere. The trapped allergens are then safely released through standard vacuuming.

Flotex opens up a world of vibrant design to allergy sufferers who previously had to avoid textile flooring. Slip resistant and with up to 22 dB impact noise reduction, Forbo’s flocked floor covering delivers a safe and sound flooring solution.

Poppy's Bedroom

Rachael Wintrip’s daughter Poppy, six, suffered from eczema since she was three months old, developing asthma at age two. At Forbo Flooring, we replaced her old bedroom carpet with our Flotex flocked flooring, which has been granted the highly prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™. With the correct cleaning regime, the flooring will now no longer host pet allergens or house dust mites.

As the first textile flooring product approved by Allergy UK, Flotex is proven to better the lives of allergy sufferers by helping create better indoor air quality. Find out more

Meopham Academy

As part of our work with Allergy UK, Forbo Flooring Systems donated 50m2 of Flotex flocked flooring to Kent’s Meopham Community Academy. This was done as part of a trial to investigate the impact floor coverings have on the health and wellbeing of pupils.

Meopham Community Academy had a pupil attending Great Ormond Street Hospital for allergic conditions, including a respiratory allergy and severe eczema. Flotex did not only help this pupil, but also supported other children with similar problems as they progress through the academy. Find out more
