Tough, hard wearing and with the tactile benefits of carpet, Forbo Flooring Systems’ Flotex collection of flocked hybrid floor coverings are the flooring of choice at Mansfield Manor care home, in Nottingham.
In fact care home proprietor, Shazia Khalid, is so pleased with the product that she has specified it throughout the building, making up 95% of the overall flooring.
“Flotex is ideal for our needs as it’s resilient and easily cleaned, while still providing the softness of carpet – something that is important to help residents feel safe and secure,” commented Shazia. “The flooring faces a great deal of heavy use so products need to be tough and Flotex is certainly able to withstand the daily thoroughfare. The fact that it’s stain resistant and can be cleaned easily also makes it perfect for the home, as it can cope with everyday accidents and spillages.”
The highly effective integral anti-microbial treatment Sanitized ® ensures Flotex offers constant protection against bacteria including MSRA, E-coli and the development of dust mites – an important factor in protecting the health and comfort of elderly residents. The Sanitized treatment is compounded into the backing of Flotex, continually refreshing the anti-microbial performance without degradation through wet cleaning or vacuuming, helping to prevent stale odour development.
Flotex is also perfectly suited to care environments as it is British Allergy Foundation certified, due to the fact that vacuuming removes twice as many allergens compared to conventional carpet thanks to Flotex’s unique fibre construction.
With over 70 million electrostatically flocked fibres per square metre, Flotex offers the durable characteristics of a resilient floor, yet also the acoustic properties of carpet. Being completely waterproof, Flotex is also the only truly washable textile floor
covering, helping to achieve a simple and effective cleaning and maintenance regime throughout the home

Flotex is available in a wide range of appealing designs that fuse bright vibrant colours and large patterns. The bold colour and design used at Mansfield Manor is full of visual interest and depth, providing good soil hiding and appearance retention.
