Specialized type of flooring

For areas that require a more specialized type of flooring, such as electro static discharge (ESD) protection or increased slip resistance, Forbo has a range of products that meet the very highest standards.

A demanding area
In sensitive hospital areas such as operating theatres, intensive care units and imaging diagnostic facilities, flooring presents its own unique challenges. Not only must it comply with stringent hygiene regulations to help prevent hospital acquired infections, it must also demonstrate that it meets any necessary safety requirements. And most importantly, it must prevent any electrostatic discharges as these can cause malfunctions, or even failures, in highly sensitive medical equipment and devices.

The highest standards of hygiene
Colorex satisfies all these requirements. Its conductive properties allow you to avoid the negative effects of an accumulation of static electricity. At the same time, the compact, pore-free surface is unfriendly to bacteria and moulds, helping you to maintain the highest standards of hygiene.
