ALTRO LAUNCHES GROUND BREAKING SAFETY FLOOR
FOR COMBINED SHOE AND BAREFOOT USE

Altro has announced the launch of Altro Aquarius™, a revolution in safety flooring with guaranteed performance in wet or dry conditions for combined shoe and barefoot use - including hard soled, rubber and training shoes. This technological breakthrough revolutionises product selection for potentially wet areas, eliminating risk in a wide range of environments.

Altro Aquarius is the result of three years research and development work in direct response to customer feedback. Achieving both Class B and R10 to Australian Standard 4586 for shoe and barefoot use, Altro Aquarius provides optimum slip resistance in both wet and dry environments.

With Altro Easyclean Maxis PUR™ Technology, Altro Aquarius offers significant savings on cleaning and maintenance over its life cycle compared to non PUR-treated safety flooring. It is available in a range of warm, homely chipped and non-chipped colours, making it a perfect solution for applications in health, aged care homes, leisure, education and social housing.

Frequently, wet and barefoot users share the environment with those who are dry or wearing a variety of footwear. Until the arrival of Altro Aquarius, these areas proved problematical when it came to choosing flooring, with a slip risk for shoe wearers on wet floors. Altro Aquarius takes away the uncertainty of how to install safety flooring for mixed barefoot and shoe use, such as assisted care bathrooms and showers, and change-rooms in recreation facilities.

Altro Aquarius is highly flexible and will cove and weld easily, making it ideal for installation in confined areas such as domestic bathrooms or en suites. Altro Aquarius has excellent durability as evidenced by its 10 year warranty.

Altro Aquarius provides a fully integrated wall and floor system in conjunction with Altro Whiterock™ wall cladding, for use in wet rooms and other areas where safety and hygiene are critical. Both product ranges include integral Altrosan™ bacteriostat, which inhibit the bacterial growth and minimises the risk of hospital borne infections and cross-contamination. Altro Whiterock is available in a range of colours including the soft pastels of Altro Whiterock Satins™, ideal for aged care homes, or the bold and glossy colours of Altro Whiterock Chameleon™, already a firm favourite in hospitals.

Sustainability
As with all Altro safety flooring, the Altro Aquarius range is 100% recyclable and contains post-consumer waste as an integral raw material. Some Altro safety flooring products have up to 20% recycled content.

Altro is one of two founder members of Recofloor™ - the UK vinyl flooring industry's take back scheme for post-use vinyl - which launched in September 2009. As the first manufacturer in the world capable of recycling traditional safety flooring in-house, Altro collect and recycle all the safety flooring on behalf of Recofloor, irrespective of manufacturer.
