Hygiene control
To give you full confidence in hygiene control, our floors and walls solutions are Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)-approved. Our surfaces are so tough they can be power washed and have excellent resistance against typical cleaning chemicals. So when you have a clean kitchen, you have a safe kitchen.
Altro products are among the few worldwide to have achieved HACCP International certification. We test them in-situ, and have worked with customers, designers and installers for many years, so you can be assured of the highest standard of hygiene control.
The importance of slip resistant flooring in commercial kitchens
Busy commercial kitchens mean lots of people, heavy equipment, extremes of temperature and a constant risk of spillages. In these environments, slip-resistant flooring is the basis for a safe working environment.
Altro Stronghold 30, the ideal vinyl floor for kitchen environments, comes with a one in a million slip risk - even if grease, oils and fat are spilt.
Altro Crete resin flooring has strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals and food substances. The 6mm slip-resistant variant, with its textured surface, has a Pendulum Test Value of ≥50, making it an ideal flooring solution for commercial kitchens.
Wall cladding for commercial kitchens
In commercial kitchens, wall cladding can help ensure the highest hygiene standards.
Altro Whiterock wall sheets are grout-free and can be welded to provide a smooth, joint-free surface that can be wiped clean.
Altro Whiterock offers a choice of hygienic wall sheets - from cool, crisp white to vibrant colours and patterned or personalised wall schemes meaning we can provide you with complete design flexibility for any environment. To complete the look, we also offer Altro Fortis, our protection system for walls, doors and corners in different size options.
