Forbo Flooring’s Flotex Helps To Reduce Allergens

Flotex Cord Grape 520004.

According to Allergy UK, indoor allergies are increasing, with over 45% of allergy sufferers blaming pets as the main cause*.

Forbo Flooring aims to combat symptoms and help reduce allergens in the home with its innovative Flotex range:

  • Flotex offers all the warmth and comfort of textile flooring combined with the hardwearing and washable characteristics of a flexible floor, with the added assurance provided by the Allergy UK Seal of Approval. In addition tests demonstrate that twice as many allergens are removed from Flotex, when vacuumed compared to normal carpet.
  • The effect of its distinctive nylon construction, is to decrease the number of allergens in the atmosphere, including house dust mites and pet allergens – making it just the thing for allergy sufferers and families.
  • Flotex also benefits from Sanitized® – a unique anti-microbial treatment that guards against bacteria, mould and stale odours, thus helping to put a stop to undesirable pet scents.

Lindsey McManus, deputy chief executive, Allergy UK said: “Traditionally allergy sufferers would often have to avoid textile flooring, but Flotex gives them real choice with the reassurance that it helps to reduce levels of allergens in their home.”

Featured here is Flotex Cord Grape 520004. Flotex is priced from £24.99/m2.
Forbo Flooring’s Marmoleum range also comes with the Allergy UK Seal of Approval and prices start at £28/m2.
