K STAR a boy that was born with just two percent brain.
sent to us, which we trialled in the kitchen for 12 months. I know to most people it’s just a flooring but to us, it’s not just a flooring; it needed to be the right decision for Noah. We noticed a real difference straight away in the kitchen; it was warmer, softer and quieter and when we had visitors round, we found that they would want to stand on the Flotex rather than on the original floor! After the trial, we knew that the flocked floorcovering would be the perfect solution for our home.”
Looking to create a contemporary home, the unique Flotex Wood range was selected as it brings the allure of a modern wood floor, while dampening sound and providing comfort underfoot. The Reclaimed Pine colourway, which was chosen by Noah, was installed in the sensory room. The touch of colour adds a sense of character to the space where Noah spends a lot of his time, playing, relaxing and learning. What’s more, Flotex Wood in Distressed Oak was also fitted in the hallway, through to the backroom and into the kitchen – all of the spaces that Noah uses most. The Flotex Wood range brings a touch of class to any room and is a surprisingly practical floor.
Shelly added: “We have been chemical-free in our house for the last two years so the fact that Flotex is approved by Allergy UK was a significant deciding factor for us, providing us with peace of mind that nothing grows within it. Noah’s pelvis is tilted, and he has hip dysplasia, so he had been on inhalers and steroids, while being regularly in out and of hospital in the past, but in the last two years since we stopped using cleaning products that contain chemicals, we’ve not had any of that. And now that the floorcovering is both allergen and phthalate free, it is a massive bonus for us.”
Thanks to its unique construction, the polyamide fibres not only ensure excellent sound absorption properties, they also capture allergens and fine dust from the air, all of which are effortlessly released to standard cleaning appliances, which is why Flotex has been awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval. With the correct cleaning and maintenance regime, it won't harbour dust mites, contributing to a better indoor environment for all.
Shelly continued: “The floor is so easy to clean. Everyday splashes and spills can be easily cleaned up, leaving the Flotex looking like new. In addition, the back garden adjoins onto the kitchen and Noah is in and out all of the time, so I’m not worried when he comes in with mud on his wheels, as it is so easy to clean.
Commenting on the installation, Lloyd Hodson, owner of Lloyd’s Carpets said: “I have been installing flooring for over 30 years and have been working with Forbo’s products – and in particular Flotex – for a long time. The Flotex range is great, with a good selection of designs and colour, and it is always very easy to install. We had a team of three fitters in to complete the job and I think that Flotex is a perfect fit for Noah’s needs.”
