Flotex Seagrass
Natural seagrass-effect flocked flooring planks — the woven look, fully washable.
Seagrass reproduces the coarse woven texture of natural seagrass matting on a flocked plank. It is the honest version of a trade-off a lot of interiors face: the natural-fibre look, without a natural fibre's intolerance of water, stains and commercial traffic.
Six colourways in a 100cm x 25cm plank, 62.5% recycled content, 19 dB impact sound reduction, continuous castor chair rating.
Real seagrass and sisal stain permanently, cannot be wet-cleaned, and degrade in humidity. Flotex Seagrass is completely waterproof and washable, which makes it specifiable in kitchens, bathrooms and hospitality floors where the real thing simply is not.

Fitting Seagrass 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 Seagrass 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.
