Smart. Innovative. Colourful.
Colour can communicate a powerful
message without the need for words, it
evokes strong emotions, creates striking
associations and will affect the mood
and visual impact of every environment.
Colour has character and conveys our
feelings and values. It is a fundamental
part of our freedom to choose.
That is the power of colour.

As modern retail interiors need to work that little bit harder to attract customers and increase browsing time, effective design, clear wayfinding and consumer comfort are all important factors. With Flotex, all of these requirements can be met as its easy to clean and durable construction ensures it stays looking good for years to come.
Acoustic hindrance is one of the most complained about topics in the work environment. Improved acoustic properties help to increase concentration and productivity.
For additional acoustic properties, we can offer a special backing for Flotex tiles that increases the impact sound reduction by 3dB to a total of 22dB, substantially enhancing acoustic performance where a calm and quiet environment is highly important.
Flotex Acoustic Plus offers a good sound absorption rate of 0.25 dB, which is comparable to most commonly used carpet sheet and tiles. Alongside sound absorption, Flotex Acoustic Plus also offers a very good shock absorption rate. This is relevant for areas where people are standing for a long time and underfoot comfort is important, such as retail spaces.
Acoustic Plus backing is available as a stocked item in Metro Grey T746006. All other colours are made to order with a minimum order quantity of 700m².
RETAIL
A safe, comfortable shopping environment with a floor that can be machine cleaned. Flotex can handle high traffic and is built to last.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Spot cleaning
Many kinds of spills can be removed with just clean, warm water or a carpet detergent. Heavier and more stubborn spills can be removed using a scraper and a brush.
Always install entrance matting to keep as much dirt out of the building. Forbo’s Coral entrance matting system can stop up to 95% of dirt entering a building, helping to prevent slips and protect your interior floor coverings so they retain their visual appearance for longer.
Regular cleaning
Daily vacuuming and regular spot stain removal keeps Flotex looking like new for years to come.
Maintenance
Periodic maintenance using spray extraction or a 3 in 1 machine will guarantee the best results from Flotex.
Please visit www.forbo-flooring.co.uk/cleaningandmaintenance for detailed instructions and videos.
