Overview
Fabromont AG: Affordable, Durable, and Sustainable Textile Flooring for Interior Designers and Architects For more than 60 years, Fabromont AG has been a leader in innovative textile floor coverings, offering interior designers and architects affordable, durable, and sustainable solutions for offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, public buildings, and commercial spaces. Founded in 1963 in Switzerland, Fabromont is best known for Kugelgarn® and Kugelvlies®, two unique flooring materials that combine strength, easy maintenance, and design flexibility. Unlike traditional carpet tiles or broadloom carpets, Fabromont’s products provide seamless, highly resistant surfaces that maintain their structure and appearance even in high-traffic environments. Thanks to their low-maintenance, cost-effective nature and environmentally friendly composition, they are an ideal choice for professionals looking to create functional yet budget-conscious spaces. Kugelgarn® & Kugelvlies®: The Future of Affordable Textile Flooring What is Kugelgarn®? Kugelgarn® is Fabromont’s flagship flooring solution, designed as a granulated textile floor covering that offers exceptional durability and seamless aesthetics. Unlike standard carpets, which have a visible pile, Kugelgarn® consists of millions of fused fibre balls, creating a surface that is both resilient and visually uniform. Key Advantages of Kugelgarn® for Interior Designers and Architects: Cost-Effective & Long-Lasting – With its high resistance to wear and tear, Kugelgarn® remains in top condition for years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering overall costs. Seamless Installation – Unlike carpet tiles, which can create visible joints and require precise alignment, Kugelgarn® provides a continuous surface that enhances the overall aesthetic. Low Maintenance – The compact, granulated surface makes it stain-resistant and easy to clean, requiring minimal upkeep. Sound Absorption – An excellent choice for offices, schools, and public buildings, Kugelgarn® helps reduce noise levels, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment. PVC-Free & Environmentally Friendly – Free from PVC, bitumen, and harmful chemicals, making it safe for indoor air quality and sustainable building projects. Kugelvlies®: A Smooth, Resilient Textile Flooring Alternative For designers looking for a more compact and smooth textile flooring solution, Kugelvlies® offers similar strength and sustainability as Kugelgarn® but with a different texture. This makes it a great option for projects that require: A refined but still cost-effective finish Durability in high-traffic areas Sound-absorbing and fire-resistant properties Both Kugelgarn® and Kugelvlies® are designed for demanding environments where traditional flooring might wear out quickly or require costly replacements. Affordable & Sustainable Flooring for Public and Commercial Spaces Sustainability is at the heart of Fabromont’s production philosophy, but without compromising on affordability. Many of today’s eco-friendly flooring solutions come with a high price tag, making them inaccessible for budget-conscious projects. Fabromont, however, provides sustainable, low-cost alternatives that meet modern environmental and performance standards. Why Choose Fabromont for Sustainable Interior Projects?
