Flotex Marble
Marble-effect flocked flooring planks — stone appearance, textile comfort, four colours.
Marble puts a stone visual on a textile floor. Four colourways of digitally printed marble veining flocked onto a waterproof backing, in a 100cm x 25cm plank — the look of a stone floor without the cost, the weight, the cold or the slip risk.
62.5% recycled content, 19 dB impact sound reduction, Class 33 heavy commercial with continuous castor chair use.
Worth saying plainly: real marble in a commercial interior is heavy, expensive to lay, unforgiving to fall on, acoustically hostile and genuinely dangerous when wet. Flotex Marble answers the brief the client actually has, which is usually about how the space looks.

Fitting Marble in the UK
DCTUK’s Forbo fitting service covers site survey and subfloor moisture testing, latex screeding and preparation, uplift and recycling of existing floorcoverings, and installation by employed fitting teams — out of hours and in phases where a building has to stay open. Free survey within 72 hours, fixed pricing, and a 12 month fitting warranty.
Because Marble is a plank, damaged units can be lifted and replaced individually years into the building’s life. Keep one to two boxes per colourway from the original production batch as attic stock.
