A leading hospital in Melbourne have been wanting to refurbish their ensuites for some time. the problem they face is each ensuite services 4 beds and each is worth $3,000 per day, taking these 4 beds out of commission for 5 days cost the hospital $60,000 or $12,000 per day.

The reason they have been putting off these refurbishments is they had not found any solution to avoid these lengthy shut downs.

An Altro floor and wall solution has been proven to be one to two days quicker than any other refurbishment process they have considered.

The feedback from the hospital has been the cost to supply and install Altro Floors & Walls is insignificant when they consider having four beds back in service two days earlier than normal.

Consider that the hospital has 90 ensuites servicing 360 beds and the savings in time and cost add up significantly. this solution means the hospital gets their long awaited refurbishment and minimise down time, lost revenue and of course disruption to their patients.

When evaluating cost and time, it was realised that installing Altro Walling and Flooring was not only quicker and cheaper in the long run, but much a more innovative choice due to its durability, long lasting nature and easy maintenance.
