Foss

Foss flooring is needle-punch carpet built to handle water, sun, and traffic that would ruin a woven rug, which is why the line shows up as often on patios and boat docks as it does in basements. Foss makes its needle-punch fiber from recycled plastic bottles, then backs it with latex or a non-skid TPR layer so the finished carpet, rug, or tile resists staining, fading, mold, and mildew rather than merely surviving a season of it. The construction is permeable by design: rain, pool splash, and melted snow drain straight through the face fiber, and that single detail separates true indoor/outdoor carpet from an indoor rug pressed into outdoor duty.

FlooringInc is an authorized retailer of Foss flooring, and we carry the line across turf rolls, indoor/outdoor carpet tiles and rolls, printed area rugs, and one recycled carpet pad. Because the needle-punch face and drainable backing are shared across the catalog, the same weatherproofing shows up whether you're buying a 6x8' patio rug or a peel-and-stick tile for a garage.

Where Foss Flooring Gets Used

The indoor/outdoor label covers a wide range of real jobs: screened porches and three-season rooms, boat decks and marina walkways, basements and laundry rooms where moisture is a constant risk, and commercial entryways that need a walk-off mat tough enough for daily foot traffic. Several lines add a 5-year warranty against wear and fade, and the peel-and-stick tiles carry a Class 1 fire rating, which matters for anyone using them in a commercial or multi-family setting.

We stock Foss across four main formats, so the right pick usually comes down to how much of the floor you're covering and whether you need to cut the material to an odd-shaped space.

Indoor/Outdoor Carpet Tiles and Rolls

The carpet tiles and carpet rolls collections carry most of the Foss catalog, including the Hobnail and Ribbed families in both peel-and-stick tile and broadloom roll form, the 44 oz Imperial Heavy Hobnail tile rated for commercial walk-off use, and On Trend and Weave tiles for a more patterned look. Several tiles, like Picket Antimicrobial, add a treatment that resists bacteria growth on top of the standard mold and mildew resistance, which is a useful upgrade for basements and laundry rooms.

Indoor/Outdoor Area Rugs

Our area rugs selection includes Foss's printed and solid-color indoor/outdoor rugs, from animal prints like Zebra, Leopard, and Giraffe to classic patterns like Gingham, Checkered, and Ikat. Most are built from the same recycled-bottle polyester fiber as the rolls, with a latex or non-skid TPR backing, so a patio rug and a carpet roll from the same line share the same stain and weather resistance.

Artificial Turf Rolls

Foss also makes a line of indoor/outdoor turf, found in our landscape turf category alongside our other artificial grass. These rolls target patios, balconies, and rooftop decks rather than full-yard landscaping, and most carry a 5-year warranty with mold and mildew resistance built in.

Carpet Underlayment

For carpet installed over a hard subfloor, our underlayment category includes a Foss carpet pad made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, which adds cushioning, sound dampening, and thermal insulation under any carpet roll.

As an authorized Foss retailer, we carry genuine Foss product with the warranty Foss issues on it, registered to your order the way Foss intends. Indoor/outdoor carpet is hard to judge from a product photo since the weave and color can look different once it's outdoors in full sun, so we ship free samples on most Foss rugs, rolls, and tiles before you commit to a full order.

Foss carpet tiles and rolls also tend to ship as heavier freight than a typical area rug, and our team can walk you through case coverage, roll widths, and whether your order ships small-parcel or freight before you check out. We've built our business around getting flooring orders right the first time, backed by a Tennessee-based warehouse and a support team you can reach by phone.
