Madeleine House care home, Birmingham

Seamless and disruption-free installation at care home

Altro Stronghold 30 adhesive-free

Issue

Madeleine House care home in Birmingham is a trusted provider of care for elderly people and offers support for people who have residential and dementia care needs. The Madeleine House team pride themselves on the quality of their catering, with their Chef Manager preparing meals daily from fresh, seasonal ingredients. The care home kitchen was in a poor state of repair and a full refurbishment was carried out, providing updated facilities.

Approach

As the care home catering team were operating out of a temporary kitchen in the car park, the kitchen refurbishment needed to be completed quickly, and with limited inconvenience and disruption to the staff and residents. After conversations with Altro’s specification consultant and recommendation from the installer, an adhesive-free safety floor was specified.

“Using an adhesive-free floor took away the chance of a poor installation and uneven finishes. It was a seamless process with the same product guarantees. Gutted I didn’t know about this product sooner to use on other previous projects.” Rick Bhatti, Property Delivery Surveyor, Anchor Care.

Testimonials

Why would you pay more for adhesive, labour, and kitchen downtime when you could use adhesive-free which saves on all of these.

The flooring installation had been a one-day install rather than two days. It’s a faster, easier option to install, even when having to lay a new screed.
