Flotex; the hygienic option

1. 2. 3. Flotex is made of a solid vinyl, reinforced base and a densely flocked surface of nylon 6.6 fibres that are anchored firmly into that base. Flotex is extremely dimensionally stable and has the visual and acoustic benefits of a textile floor covering whilst having similar functional properties to a resilient floor. And theres more, Flotex has certified hygienic and slip resistant
A floor covering that looks and feels like a carpet without any of the drawbacks of a carpet. Flotex has a smooth, velour like surface that is comfortable to walk on, warm underfoot with excellent slip resistant and acoustic properties. Flotex is extremely durable and will retain its appearance for many years. It can be cleaned using standard cleaning equipment and as the flocked fibres are firmly anchored into a waterproof backing, its possible to clean right down to the base of the pile. With this unique combination of benefits Flotex proves an ideal solution wherever hardwearing, attractive and hygienic flooring is required. It is specified widely in both sheet and tile formats in many application areas including schools, colleges, clinics, care homes, nurseries, hotels, restaurants, museums and airports.
properties too. Flotex comes in an unprecedented range of patterns, colours and designs which means it can also combine perfectly with other floor finishes. Work with a variety of textures and materials within the same project, including Flotex, to deliver on both aesthetic and practical requirements. 1. A densely flocked surface of nylon 6.6 fibres that are anchored firmly into the base layer. 2. Solid vinyl, reinforced base, treated with Sanitised 3. Glass fleece layer for extreme dimensional stability
Creating better environments

Flotex production is ISO14001 accredited; demonstrating good environmental management and is the only flocked floor covering to have been assessed by the Building Research Establisment (BREEAM) Environmental Assessment Method which provides a credible and objective environmental rating for a buildings environmental impact. In addition, we are using Life Cycle Assessments to identify ways to further enhance our environmental performance.
*Sanitized is a registered trademark of SANITIZED AG License No 2893.04
Creating a healthier environment

The anti microbial Sanitized treatment of the Flotex base ensures consistent protection against bacteria such as MRSA and E.coli, or moulds such as athletes foot fungi. The Sanitized treatment is compounded into the backing of Flotex, continually refreshing the antimicrobial performance without degradation through cleaning or vacuuming. This makes Flotex the ideal floor covering for healthcare or educational institutions such as care facilities or kindergartens. It also suppresses the growth of dust mite populations. Independent tests show that a dust mite population introduced to Flotex is reduced by an average of 86% over an eight week period. Flotex also has a positive impact on the lives of allergy sufferers as daily vacuuming cleans away twice as many allergens compared to conventional carpets due to Flotexs unique fibre construction that releases dirt in a single cleaning exercise. That is why Flotex carries the British Allergy Foundation seal of approval.
Safe and comfortable

The dense flocked surface provides an ideal acoustic barrier reducing noice by up to 20 dB, ensuring the comfort & wellbeing of those in application

Daring design. Inspirational flooring.
Whether designer, architect, sculptor, artist or photographer, Ettore Sottsass has left his mark and his commitment in his global view of the environment and space, through his sculptures, jewellery, artwork, furniture, and industrial objects. Today, many designers and architects emulate his spiritual heritage, radical in its stance against functionalism. The exclusive design collaboration with Flotex was borne out of the desire to work with an innovative flooring technology and its precision HD printing brings to life the avant guard designs that clearly carry the Sottsass signature.

FLOTEX SOTTSASS
At the crossroads of art, design and architecture, the work of Ettore Sottsass represents the birth of non-conformist Italian design, somewhere between the industrial and the experimental. A prominent figure in Italian design since the 1950s, this ingenious free thinker sought to explore every creative avenue with a non-conformist attitude that was both assuming and audacious.
Flotex Sottsass
In Bacteria, Redfern has taken one of Ettore Sottsass signature designs, created in the late 1970s, a forerunner of the current modern age of nano technology and genetic engineering. Optically challenging, the design is open to wide interpretation, close up amoebic forms sway and shift yet from afar it appears as a constellation of distant stars. Bacteria is available in 20 colourways. Pattern repeat 200 x 150 cm

Terrazzo by Sottsass is a witty twist on the concept of Italian Terrazzo (a traditional flooring created several hundred years ago when Venetian workers found a use for discarded marble remnants). Sottsass Associati has developed this idea to give the impression of a beautifully laid Mediterranean terrazzo floor. However, on closer inspection, the chips in Terrazzo are revealed as pieces of torn paper each holding its own story a shredded love letter or a business document? Its left to the individual to decide and to create their own narrative. Terrazzo is available in 13 colourways. Pattern repeat 200 x 150 cm

The Wool design was conceived by Ettore Sottsass when he laid filaments of wool yarns, collected from various countries, onto a flat, coloured surface. It plays on the textures of the individual strands of the natural fibres to give a sense of depth and warmth to the floor along with a defined linear pattern that can dramatically shift the perspective of interior spaces. Wool is available in 12 colourways. Pattern repeat 200 x 150 cm

Flotex usage, cleaning and maintenance
Flotex usage classification

As with any product, colour and design influence the appearance retention of the floor. Likewise, Flotex is able to hide any soiling or dirt to a greater or lesser degree depending on the base colour and the visual design. Using European (EN) approved testing methodology we have graded every item in the collection on its ability to hide general dirt or staining that occurs during normal use depending on the application.
Forbo FloorCare method

Flotex sheet and tiles
A regular cleaning programme will minimise the need for major restorative maintenance. Avoid excessive use of cleaning products. If used, rinse them out thoroughly as residues may attract dirt.
The result is a usage classification that can be referred to when taking into consideration such things as type and level of traffic in the chosen application area. The classification is shown alongside each colour and design in this brochure.
Cleaning after installation

Vacuum clean the floor using an upright vacuum cleaner with a mechanically powered brush to remove loose particulate soiling FLOTEX USAgE, CLEANINg AND MAINTENANCE 71
07/07/2011 15:49
Most stains or spills should respond to the use of clean warm water, however some spills may require the use of a neutral carpet detergent Rinse thoroughly and remove excess water Allow the floor to dry before use
Superior appearance rating Good appearance rating Moderate appearance rating
Regular cleaning
Cleanable surface finish When prescribed cleaning procedures are followed, Flotex outperforms any textile floor covering in appearance. Its smooth upright nylon 6.6 fibres allow dirt to be easily removed. No dry dirt is trapped by any loops or twists (as can happen with standard carpet) 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 flocked finish allows the floor covering to be fully cleaned with water and detergents. Steam cleaning or mechanical cleaning methods can also be applied resulting in cleaner floors. Flotex is therefore the only truly waterproof textile which enables the floor to be restored quickly and easily even after heavy soiling. Vacuum clean the floor using an upright vacuum cleaner with a mechanically powered brush Wet clean using either a: Hot water/spray extraction carpet cleaning machine 3 in 1 carpet cleaning machine Cylindrical brush counter rotating carpet cleaning machine Please note: only neutral carpet detergents should be used and the area thoroughly rinsed with clean water. Always allow the floor to dry before use
Occasional maintenance
For localised spillages First soak stains locally by spraying with a solution of neutral carpet detergent Scrub with plenty of warm water, using a machine with brush action suitable for carpet wet cleaning or hand scrub Remove excess water and ensure all detergent residues are fully rinsed from the floor using clean water
