Forbo Flotex Carpet Flooring: Nylon Sheets, Planks & Tiles

What is Flotex?

Flotex is one of Forbo’s most recognized innovations. Unlike traditional carpet, which is tufted or woven, Forbo Flotex carpet is made through a process called flocking. This involves millions of nylon fibers standing upright on a cushioned, waterproof backing. The result is a textile surface that feels soft underfoot but behaves like resilient flooring — it is hygienic, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.

Is Flocked a Surface or a Finish?

Many people confuse “flocked” with a finish, but it’s actually a method of construction. A flocked floor has nylon fibers electrostatically fixed into place, creating a dense, velvety surface. This makes Flotex different from a standard surface treatment. It isn’t just a coating or polish; it’s the way the carpet itself is built. That’s why Forbo carpets in the Flotex line are both comfortable and durable.
