As with any product, colour and design infl uence the
appearance retention of the fl oor. 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.
The result is a usage classifi cation that can be referred to
when taking into consideration such things as type and level
of trai c in the chosen application area. The classifi cation is
shown alongside each colour and design in this brochure.
Cleanable surface fi nish
When prescribed cleaning procedures are followed, Flotex
outperforms any textile fl oor covering in appearance.
Its smooth upright nylon 6.6 fi bres 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
fl ocked fi nish allows the fl oor covering to be fully cleaned
with water and detergents. Steam cleaning or mechanical
cleaning methods can also be applied resulting in cleaner
fl oors. Flotex is therefore the only truly waterproof textile
fl oor covering which enables the fl oor to be restored quickly
and easily even after heavy soiling.
