Difference between Flotex and carpet
Flotex looks like a normal carpet floor covering. However, the structure of these textile floor coverings is completely different.
Flotex floors
Flotex floor coverings are manufactured with up to 80 million straight nylon fibres per m². Because the nylon fibres in the Flotex floors are standing straight ahead, they capture fine dust and allergens.
This unique structure ensures these can be released when vacuumed. That is why Flotex is the only textile flooring with a British Allergy Foundation approval.
Carpet floors
Loop pile carpet or loose nylon cut pile fibres retain fine dust and allergens, however, they’re not easily released due to the complex nature of the surface pile, which can result in bacterial growth and an unhygienic floor over time.
Flotex offers the quietness and comfort of a carpet but has a better hygienic performance.
