I'm designing an area

Installing adhesive-free floors means your customers’ installations can be up and ready quickly, letting everyone get back to normal with minimal interruption. With adhesive-free floors there is no waiting time - just lay, weld and walk on the same day; saving your customer time and money and minimising disruption. This combined with a wide range of design options gives your specification the advantage over a traditionally adhered proposal.

With our new woods, terrazzo and concrete designs giving you 59 colours and on trend designs to choose from, Altro adhesive-free flooring now provides inspirational and decorative solutions for all application areas. Using biophilic design our in demand, wood-look floor can help create a comfortable, or homely and calm feeling to promote wellbeing in health and care environments. With the concrete design option in our Altro Cantata range you can create a wow, urban chic look in contemporary buildings and terrazzo gives you an organic look with a metallic twist.

Altro XpressLay is ideal for areas where safety is a priority, such as high traffic service corridors, requiring safety and toughness. Altro Cantata and Altro Wood adhesive-free give you design options for your more public-facing areas where aesthetics count and the ability to easily maintain the appearance of the areas is essential.

Altro adhesive-free floors offer up to 14dB sound reduction, which is great for noisy environments such as kindergartens and schools reducing disruptive noise transfer as excited young children or thousands of older ones move around a building. Within a hospital or care environment reducing noise in a ward or public area can aid patient recovery and enhance residents’ wellbeing. Coupled with up to 2.4mm thick options, adhesive-free flooring is an ideal choice for areas that need to look good while helping to give comfort underfoot; much valued for carers, nurses and teachers, who spend many hours a day on their feet.

Altro invented safety flooring over 60 years ago and we have been leading the way with innovation and quality ever since. Altro XpressLay was introduced in 2009 after five years of development and testing. We wanted to make sure that the product could deliver the quality and reliability associated with all Altro flooring. Before the product’s introduction many test areas, both on and off site on damp subfloors and on existing problem subfloors were installed and monitored to ensure that the product was fit for purpose. Since the launch over 2.2 million square metres have been successfully installed helping us deliver a more sustainable flooring product and leading the way in the future of flooring. Our heritage has been so valued that this revolutionary product has been trusted in some of the world’s most demanding locations including the Australian Parliament, historical and listed buildings, global four-yearly sporting events and the Asian Games. The next evolution saw the introduction of Altro Cantata in 2017 and now Altro Wood adhesive-free, bringing the range up-to-date with architects’ requests for wood-effect adhesive-free flooring.

With over 10 years’ experience of working with our adhesive-free floors and having invented our international award-winning Altro XpressLay, we are confident in our products’ durability. But don’t just take our word for it. Our case studies are testament to customer satisfaction, and with a 15-year life expectancy and 10-year guarantee on all our adhesive-free products you needn’t fear that an adhesive-free product will let you down.

Altro adhesive-free floors have been endorsed by architects and main contractors for your peace of mind. Take a look at our case studies and testimonials.

“We needed a flooring that would allow us to meet the tight deadlines we had to work on. In addition, we needed it to respond well to the humidity of the environment. It was easy to clean, durable, resistant to stains and, of course, it was slip-resistant. “

“Altro XpressLay does not use adhesive so it can also be used again.”
