Showcasing our services and solutions in a variety of real-world applications, our commercial flooring, walling and doorsets case studies display how Altro’s products can be used to address industry-specific issues across a range of sectors.
Altro Custom floors and walls allow you to design for areas where looks not only count, but can positively affect the views and even the wellbeing of the people who live, work or visit. Imagine classrooms with floors that look like grass or sand; Mexican restaurants with beautiful views of the Mayan Riviera on the walls, or a cutting-edge fashion shop with modern art running from floor to ceiling.
Sanctuary Housing is a large housing association based in Worcester. Their latest project, an affordable housing complex in Chester consists of 16 flats. For the build, Sanctuary Housing wanted to use wall cladding instead of tiles for the bathrooms and kitchens. This need was driven by the shortage of tiling contractors in the local area and the risk of tiles and grout getting dirty very quickly.
“The look and feel we wanted was a hotel type design, and we were considering something more colourful and decorative. We have used Altro Whiterock before and have always found it to be a great product in high traffic areas, giving us a lot of confidence in its performance. We were really pleased to discover Altro Tegulis,” said Neil Ruecroft, Head of Construction at Sanctuary Group. “Altro talked us through all the colour and tile-effect combinations of Altro Tegulis and then provided us with mock-up designs for the bathrooms which looked really good. We decided to give it a go and Altro put us in touch with MI Contracts, Altro Whiterock Premier Installers who were highly experienced in using Altro Whiterock.”
MI Contracts installed Altro Whiterock Splashbacks in the kitchens and Altro Tegulis in the bathrooms. Mike Heffernan, Installer at MI Contracts said, “This is the first time we have worked with Altro Tegulis and it was a joy to work with. Tiling can be an untidy and long-winded job. The installation of Altro Tegulis removed the mess and shortened the timescale dramatically.”
Giving you the flexibility to coordinate or contrast, Altro Whiterock Splashbacks come in a vast array of colours and finishes complemented by colour-matched sealants. Choose from Altro Whiterock White, Altro Whiterock Satins, Altro Whiterock Chameleon and Altro Whiterock wall designs ranges, pick your size, and away you go.
Altro Tegulis tile-effect wall panels offer the ideal alternative to traditional tiles for wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and retail spaces. With a range of tile-effect patterns offering a grout-free alternative to tiles, Altro Tegulis offers a more familiar feeling than traditional wall panel sheets.
The overall end result is fantastic, we are really pleased with it. The residents are finding it easy to maintain and clean and has given them a very homely feel.
The team really enjoyed the challenge of installing a new, innovative product. With less mess and easy installation, all 16 units were completed in one week.
