Where this surface works
- Hotel corridors and guest rooms High-traffic areas where a floor has to keep its looks between refurbishments.
- Offices and reception floors One continuous surface from the lift lobby to the meeting rooms.
- Retail and showroom space A calm base that lets the merchandise lead.
- Healthcare and education Wipe-clean, low-allergen floors for hospitals, clinics, classrooms and libraries.
- Residential interiors Living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and basements that keep the look of a woven textile.
What this product line does well
- Material and construction Vinyl-coated fibres are woven tight for strength and fray resistance.
- Design versatility Sisal and linen looks, from neutral tones to bolder colourways.
- Impact noise The 3.0 mm vinyl cushion backing cuts impact noise by 22 dB (ΔLw) to BS EN ISO 140-8, which helps in corridors, open offices and on upper floors.
- Laid wall to wall, seams cold-welded Rolls are laid over the subfloor with the backing bonded to the substrate, and the joints are cold-welded through both the woven face and the PVC backing, so the seam sits flat and stays closed.

What matters on site
- Trim the selvage Trim 2–3 cm in from the edge before installation.
- Never mix batches texlyweave® is a woven fabric, so tonality can vary slightly from one production batch to the next. Each roll label carries its batch number, finish one batch before starting the next, and use the same batch within one space.
- Laying Installed as broadloom with the backing bonded to the substrate and the seams cold-welded, so the floor reads as one surface with no raised trip edges.
- Use an experienced fitter Woven vinyl needs a professional installer. We can advise on subfloor preparation and laying sequence.
- Water resistant, not waterproof Standing water can work through to the subfloor, wipe spills up promptly.
Everyday maintenance
- Routine Vacuum as normal; damp mop with a neutral cleaner. No waxing, no polishing.
- Spills Blot, don’t rub. Most spills lift cleanly, stain resistance is rated 0 (not affected) to BS EN 423.
- Common spots Adhesive tape: harden with ice, rub off. Alcoholic drinks: cold water, then white vinegar, then rinse. Butter or grease: hot water. Chewing gum: ice, then cold water. Blood or ketchup: cold water, diluted ammonia, then rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Abrasive pads, aggressive solvents and steam. Chair castors are rated for continuous use, but protective mats are sensible under heavy castor traffic.
Custom and special orders
- Custom designs Unique designs can be developed for your project. Minimum order 1,000 m².
- Special widths and lengths Available on request; the pallet system is affected, so please plan with us early.
- Two core systems Polyester core as standard, fibreglass core for broader application and longer-term development needs.
- Cut-and-bound rugs and mats The same woven vinyl is available as rugs, mats and runners if you want one material across a whole project.
- Sample swatches A4 swatches are available to qualified distributors and specifiers; samples are free of charge, with the courier at your cost (freight collect).
Wall to wall flooring: questions we get asked
Is texlyweave® flooring waterproof?
It is water resistant, not waterproof. It will not absorb moisture, but standing water left for a long period can work through to the subfloor, so please wipe it up promptly.
Is it soft to walk on?
Yes. The 3.0 mm vinyl cushion backing makes it soft underfoot and quiet compared with a hard PVC-backed floor covering, while the woven surface takes heavy traffic.
Can it be used with office chairs on castors?
Yes. Castor chair resistance is rated r = 5 for continuous use (EN 985, Test A). Under very heavy castor traffic we still recommend protective chair mats.
Can it be laid over underfloor heating?
We have practical experience rather than a laboratory result for this. Woven vinyl comfortably withstands around 40°C, so a heating system running at that temperature is not a problem.
Can a damaged area be repaired?
Yes. A patch of the same pattern is laid over the damaged area, both layers are cut through together, and the new piece is bonded in, so the repair is invisible and no whole roll is wasted.
What does the batch number on the roll label mean?
It identifies the production batch. Only use rolls with the same batch number within one space, and finish one batch before starting the next.
