Flotex Skistar 3 Flooring that suits footy and ski boots

HYGIENIC

Healthy and hygienic with a floor that’s completely waterproof and truly washable, it is also allergy and asthma friendly.

CLEANABLE

Flotex releases up to 76% of soil with simple vacuuming and up to 97% with spray extraction cleaning, compared to just 46% and 64% for traditional loop pile carpets.

DURABLE

Flotex performs where other textile floor coverings fail. It is a floor that can withstands the test of time with 40 years of proven performance.



Why Flotex works where others don’t

Flotex stands out in sports environments, think hockey arenas, ski lodges, or indoor training facilities, where footwear like ice skates, studded boots, or ski boots places intense stress on the flooring.



  • Unmatched durability under extreme stress
    At Hägglunds Arena (Modo Hockey), Flotex endured routine pressure from ice skates “like walking with knives on your feet” yet still performed reliably and cleaned up easily.

  • Resilient and slip resistant in dry and wet conditions
    Designed for “extreme conditions,” Flotex handles wet, abrasive use while retaining slip resistance even under heavy impact.

  • Improves acoustics
    The textile surface helps dampens noise, especially in busy, echo-prone changing spaces

    In an elite sports association like Modo Hockey, tough rules apply during training and matches. This means that materials and spaces are heavily worn.

    - Walking with ice skates is like walking with knives on your feet. But the floor holds up really well. The players move around a lot and put stress on the floor, but it lasts and is easy to clean, says Thomas Wågström, materials manager.

    The floor's acoustic properties contribute to a calm and comfortable atmosphere.

    Thomas continues:
    - When you get to the away dressing room, the sound is different. At home, the floor dampens sound. There is a big difference compared to when it is plastic mats.

    That's why MoDo Hockey has chosen Flotex for over 10 years.

    About the project

    The newly built Mundaring arena indoor sporting facility is located in the Perth Hills district. The building caters for a range of sports such as hockey, basketball and netball and was constructed for the local community now and for future generations.

    Forbo Flotex was chosen for the functionality and longevity and the new plank designs suited the design visual requested. Additionally, Flotex is a proven floor covering in sporting and gym applications.

    The 70 million nylon 6.6 fibres per m² offer superior wear characteristics and abrasion resistance when compared with other yarns, making it the ideal flooring for high traffic areas.

    Flotex is also well known for providing healthier indoor quality and has been awarded the asthma and allergy foundation seal of approval.

With millions of square metres of our floor coverings installed in sport facilities, Forbo Flooring is at the forefront when it comes to understanding the needs and concerns of any sport environment.
