Why Altro wall cladding is so hygienic
Altro wall cladding is specifically designed to meet today's hygiene regulations: it's durable, impervious and impact resistant, and has smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces. So it's the perfect solution in areas where hygiene is paramount.
- Impermeable
Altro wall cladding has an impervious surface that's highly resistant to chemicals, stains and odors. It's a fully-sealed, watertight, airtight system, with nowhere for bacteria to hide and grow.
- Hardwearing and robust
Surface damage like cracks and dents can trap dirt, moisture and bacteria, making cleaning more difficult. This isn't a problem with Altro wall cladding as it has extremely high impact resistance. Durability test results showed that impacts that would damage ceramic tiles barely left a scratch on our tough surfaces. And the same is true for the wall cladding's thermoformed corners – an area where ceramic tiles are especially vulnerable
- Easy to clean
With its uninterrupted surface, smooth joints and thermoformed corners and angles, all you need to clean Altro wall cladding is warm water and standard cleaning agents
Why Altro PVC flooring is so hygienic
PVC flooring is so hygienic because it's resistant to impact damage and point loading. And Altro PVC flooring is watertight and resistant to most chemicals, staining and odours, which makes it even easier to keep clean.
- PUR technology
Our exclusive Altro Easyclean Maxis PUR Technology can be found in Altro safety flooring. It makes our flooring more hygienic and cleanable, and this was proved in tests that showed unrivalled low dirt pick-up along with resistance to most staining and chemicals. In fact, we're so confident in the long-term hygienic performance of our PUR Technology that we back it with a no-quibble Lifetime Pledge
Why Altro resin flooring is so hygienic
Altro epoxy and polyurethane resin floors provide an impermeable, seamless surface. Like PVC, resin is hardwearing and resists damage, meaning it will stay easy to clean for its lifetime.
- Top coat
It's possible to add a polyurethane (PU) top coat on some resins, which makes cleaning even more efficient
- Heat resistant
Some grades of resin are heat-resistant and can be steam cleaned to improve hygiene levels even further
Top quality, top hygiene
All Altro products are manufactured from the finest raw materials, with stringent quality control measures that guarantee high standards and consistency across all of our ranges. This commitment to quality means that our products carry on delivering the same performance and hygienic benefits as they day they were installed.
