As part of the wider refresh to its Flotex collection, Forbo Flooring Systems has launched a stunning new range, Flotex Advance, which can be installed either fully adhered or adhesive-free.

 

Completely new to the Flotex offering, Flotex Advance is available in two distinct designs, Code and Latitude, with 39 contemporary patterns across a variety of tones. Both are available in sheet and tile formats, with the sheet format benefitting from a Forbo’s special ‘next’ backing, which means it can be installed adhesive-free or fully adhered

 Chris Rand, Category Marketing Manager, from Forbo Flooring Systems, said:

“With the wider refresh of our Flotex portfolio, we wanted to ensure that not only were there a variety of high-end and high-definition design options, but a choice of installation formats too. That’s why, thanks to our new ‘next’ backing, we’re delighted to be able to offer flooring contractors increased flexibility, with the adhesive-free Flotex Advance sheet allowing for quicker, easier and more sustainable installations.”

 Flotex combines the design and comfort of a textile floor covering, with the functional benefits of a resilient flooring solution. Thanks to Flotex’s unique construction with over 70 million fibres per square metre, it is the perfect base for digital printing, giving greater definition than is possible using conventional textile products. This, combined with its dense surface, makes for a longer lasting and better-looking flooring solution, ideal for use in a variety of environments including leisure, hospitality, education and offices.

In addition, Flotex contains 59% recycled content by weight, in the tile construction, and is manufactured in factories running off 100% renewable electricity. Flotex also boasts the prestigious Allergy UK seal of approval, ensuring Flotex flooring schemes positively impact those using the spaces it’s installed in.

ALTRO ILLUSTRA proves the ‘pawfect’ choice for Dobbies Garden Centre

 

Stylish new safety floor Altro Illustra™ is delivering nature-inspired aesthetics and safety for two and four-legged customers at Pets Corner at Dobbies Garden Centre in Huddersfield.

With wet paws and floors comes the risk of a slip, so when choosing flooring for Pets Corner as part of a recent refurbishment, a safety floor with natural aesthetics was required.

Michael Brooks, Head of Construction and Maintenance for Dobbies Garden Centres liaised with Altro Sales Consultant Kevin Jackson on the different floor options for the space. Wanting to match the Dobbies’ ethos of ‘not an average garden centre,’ the floor solution needed to provide durability, be easy to clean, and also have a natural biophilic feel to the design.

“Altro Illustra fit the bill perfectly, providing natural good looks and safety for our customers and their pets,” says Michael. “The installation was very smooth, with minimal disruption to the centre and our customers, and the floor looks great.”

Designed to bring natural elements in a range of contemporary and flexible colours, shades and fabric effects, Altro Illustra is also smooth to the touch, functional with a natural beauty. This stylish safety floor is also available as a sustainable, adhesive-free option.

 

Altro Illustra is available in a range of contemporary and flexible designs. This stylish, functional and design-led safety flooring has enhanced sustained slip resistance, making it great for busy classrooms, entrance areas, care home and hospital wards, corridors and shop floors. New Altro Illustra is low maintenance, incorporating Altro Easyclean™ technology.
