Specialist facilities such as bottling plants and food storage areas are workplaces where wet, dusty and greasy substances can put people at risk.
We know that a safe, efficient and hygienic facility is a vital part of the production process, which is why our specialist floors and walls solutions are designed to handle everything thrown at or dropped on them.
Our walls are the modern alternative to tiles: hygienic, easy to clean and impact-resistant. Our floors not only reduce the risk of slipping, they minimise cleaning time, require less maintenance and help reduce fatigue thanks to their thickness and noise reducing qualities.

It is our ambition to be your partner of choice for innovative and practical solutions that transform spaces.

We work in partnership with our customers to explore future possibilities, feeding our passion for creating solutions that help to meet your needs.

"Altro products are one of the few worldwide flooring and walling products to have achieved food safe, product certification from HACCP International. In meeting the scheme’s requirements, they have expert, and third party confirmation, of the products’ suitability for use within food processing facilities that are governed by the world’s highest food safety standards. Both the flooring and walling products from Altro offer a seamless and impervious solution which means that there is nowhere for bacteria to hide, as well as being easy to clean. These are both vitally important issues in the food industry."
Altro floors and hygienic walls and doors have been designed to fit together to provide an integrated solution. No gaps or rough edges, just a smooth, uninterrupted surface. The system offers protection against bacteria and is easy to clean to help prevent contamination.
We have products that withstand extremes of hot and cold temperatures as well as harsh substances. For example, Altro Crete 8mm slip-resistant variant has excellent impact and abrasion resistance and is made for an increased temperature range (-40°C to +120°C).
It is perfect for demanding environments which require steam cleaning. Food and drink production areas may also be exposed to harsh substances such as chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sulphur dioxide, so durability and stain resistance are key. Altro Crete takes care of it all.
Effective, impervious, protective walls can make all the difference when it comes to easy, low-cost maintenance and hygiene. Our Altro Whiterock wall sheets are HACCP approved, and a hygienic alternative to tiles that’s impact resistant, grout-free and easy to clean. Suitable for use in food production, it is made from a high-quality, food-safe PVCu polymer that can handle temperatures up to 60°C.
Slips can occur on wet or contaminated floors. Wet contaminants including liquids from meat, fish, fruit and beverages are well known for raising the slip risk underfoot. Dry contaminants, such as grain, flour and animal feed, can be just as treacherous.
To protect your staff in environments where spills and hose-down cleaning routines are necessary, you need reliable, long-lasting slip resistance.
We offer specialist safety floors for demanding environments assessed as having a very high slip risk. Altro Crete resin floor provides durability, slip resistance and excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals including organic acids found in foodstuffs.

We offer resin systems which combine hygiene, durability and performance to help meet the needs of hard-working environments.
Our floor and wall products counter the effects of heavy usage including impact and point loading and temperature change. Altro Fortis, our protection system for walls, doors and corners is ideal for busy public and service areas. This hard-wearing option has a lightly textured surface and is ideal for areas subjected to high levels of traffic.
Tiles and grouting are porous, making them more susceptible to harbouring bacteria. They also chip and crack more easily, allowing dirt and bacteria to collect and hide from cleaners. Tough, watertight and easy to clean, Altro Whiterock is the modern, low-maintenance solution for hygiene and durability.
The following floor plan shows how Altro solutions can work within a variety of areas in food and drink production environments. For more information on choosing the right solutions for your installation, please take a look at our product filters.
