Specifying – why Altro?

Our products are unique

• We were the first manufacturer to offer invisible slip, giving a modern, high-design, non-sparkle look without compromising on sustained slip resistance
• Sustainability is at the heart of our product development – we're the only manufacturer to offer a 100% recyclable and reusable post-consumer slip-resistant flooring [link to XpressLay]
• We invented Altro Easyclean Technology for ease of cleaning without compromising on sustained slip resistance
• We spend many years developing our products in the lab and in the field to ensure performance – for example, Altro Aquarius was in development for seven years before launch
• Varieties of aggregate (including silicon carbide, quartz and aluminium oxide) are embedded in sheet vinyl to prevent slips and falls
• We keep samples of each production roll for the life of the guarantee
• We offer homogenous and heterogeneous options, with specialist solutions for greasy commercial kitchens and combined shoe and barefoot use in wet and dry

We never stop improving

• We have invested more than £5 million in new technologies to keep providing ground-breaking new product solutions
• We hold ongoing in-house training for our manufacturing operatives to promote quality of manufacture
• We run training schools to promote the highest standards of craftsmanship among industry installers
• Carrying out our own Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) testing to monitor our product development means we can be sure our products keep contributing to improved indoor air quality
• We're championing the cause for enhanced visibility of sustained slip resistance claims by manufacturers
• As active members of the UK Slip Resistance Group, we’re closely involved in developing slip resistance test methods

We test rigorously

• We've invested in international tests to ensure the rigorous performance of our flooring
• During manufacture, our safety flooring is quality tested every 400 linear metres to check its slip resistance
• During their installed lifetime, we test various flooring installations on site to ensure slip resistance performance
• Our flooring meets strict fire and smoke regulations
