Flotex Latitude Commercial Textile Sheet Flooring by Forbo

Flotex Latitude is one of the two designs in Flotex Advance. Its pattern is inspired by moving water, with soft shifts between lighter and darker tones that give the floor a calm, flowing look. Forbo describes the Advance pile as about 80 million straight nylon 6.6 fibers per square meter on a waterproof backing.

Flotex is Forbo's flocked textile floor: a dense pile of upright nylon 6.6 fibers bonded to a waterproof, closed-cell vinyl cushion backing. It gives the warmth, comfort and sound control of a textile, but because the fibers stand straight and the backing is impervious, spills stay on the surface and the floor can be cleaned much like a hard floor, including wet cleaning. Forbo also notes that the pile traps fine dust and allergens until it is vacuumed, and Flotex carries the Allergy UK Seal of Approval.

Best for: Corridors, offices, education, healthcare and hospitality spaces that want a calm, directional textile floor that can be wet cleaned.

How Flotex Sheet Is Sold

Flotex Advance sheet is 0.15" thick, in rolls about 79" (2 m) wide x 82 ft (25 m) long, which is shorter than other Flotex sheet rolls. It is cut to the length your project needs and quoted by the square yard. The factory edge is not seam quality, so allow at least 1" at each seam for trimming. Give us your room dimensions and we will help you plan roll cuts and quantities.

Because sheet is cut to your order, cut sheet goods are not returnable. Please confirm colors with samples and measurements with your installer before ordering.

Installation and Supplies

Flotex sheet is a glue-down floor installed by a flooring professional following Forbo's Installing Flotex Sheet Flooring guide. Installation supplies are sold only with a Flotex flooring order and are included in your quote.

• Adhesive: Forbo Sustain 1195, Forbo FST 1299 or Forbo 660, as listed for Flotex sheet on Forbo's US website. FST 1299 is not applicable to all installations; for example, Forbo's FST 1299 data sheet says it is not intended for slabs without a moisture vapor retarder. Your installer selects the adhesive based on the subfloor and job conditions.
• Seams: Net-fit seams rolled with a steel seam roller, with cross seams cut using the Forbo Seam & Strip Cutter, per Forbo's Flotex sheet installation guide
• Care: Forbo Neutral pH Cleaner for routine and interim cleaning, and the Forbo Flotex Spot Eraser for spot cleaning, as listed on Forbo's US Flotex floor care page and in Caring for Flotex

Specifier Tips

Latitude shares eight neutral color names with Flotex Code (Nickel, Ash, Grey, Gull, Linen, Nimbus, Sand and Tempest), so the two Advance designs can be coordinated on one project. Advance sheet rolls are 82 ft long, shorter than other Flotex sheet, so plan cuts accordingly.
