Flotex Triad
Geometric flocked flooring planks in 14 colourways at 540 g/m².
Triad builds a floor out of triangles. Fourteen colourways of geometric flocked plank designed to be combined — the pattern is not in the individual plank so much as in the arrangement of several, which makes the laying plan part of the design.
540 g/m² at 5.3mm in a 100cm x 25cm plank, 62.5% recycled content, 19 dB impact sound reduction, Class 33 heavy commercial with continuous castor chair use.
Fourteen colourways is the second-widest Flotex palette, and it is deliberately built for mixing. Specify the layout as carefully as the colour, and order attic stock per colourway rather than as a single lump.

Fitting Triad 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 Triad 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.
Forbo Flotex Triad — frequently asked questions
Where is Forbo Flotex Triad made?
Forbo Flotex Triad is manufactured at Forbo"s facility in Ripley, Derbyshire, England.
