Classrooms and training rooms
Classrooms and training rooms need inspiring, durable and easy-to-clean walls, doors and floors that can cope with the demands of active learning spaces. Altro products are made with high quality materials and come with lengthy guarantees.
For particularly hard-working areas, we have resilient flooring and wall options to keep these spaces looking better for longer. To enhance the teaching and learning experience, we can offer floor and wall solutions that meet varied aesthetic and sensory needs.
Classroom flooring
In a busy classroom, your choice of floor covering must be resilient enough to cope with lots of foot traffic and furniture and enable a calm and comfortable environment. It also needs to withstand frequent spills and be easy to clean.
Altro has a great range of classroom flooring solutions. New Altro Suprema™ is a stylish option for classroom flooring. It has superior stain resistance that means spills of poster paint, drinks and other substances can be easily wiped away without a trace. It’s a durable and resilient vinyl floor that can maintain its appearance even in the busiest environments. Recently enhanced and improved, Altro Suprema is now available in more than 30 contemporary shades, including options with low light reflectance values (LRV), which can support the design of inclusive spaces that meet diverse needs.
For those projects where installation time is limited - when it’s confined to school holidays for example - Altro’s adhesive-free flooring is the ideal solution. Choosing one of the adhesive-free range for your classroom flooring can halve your installation time, so your classroom can be back in use quickly. Altro Xpresslay™ adhesive-free incorporates Altro’s revolutionary technology so it lies flat even though no adhesive is needed. It gives you a quick, mess-free fit with the safety and durability performance that you expect from Altro.
The importance of acoustics in learning areas
Research shows that the acoustic performance of classrooms and learning spaces can have a direct impact on students’ learning ability and academic results. Poor acoustics in learning areas reduces students’ and teachers’ ability to hear and listen, and can lead to low concentration, negatively affecting both the learning and teaching experience.
But there are many benefits to having good acoustics in classrooms and learning spaces. A quiet learning environment gives increased opportunity for concentration, for listening, and for balanced discussion. And all of these give better academic results. The right choice of classroom flooring can support good acoustics. Installing an acoustic floor can aid learning by reducing sound within the room and by minimising the transfer of noise to adjacent spaces.
Altro understands how important this is. Our acoustic floor range Altro Serenade has 19dB impact sound reduction, which reduces the impact of background noise in the classroom and also minimises noise in the room below. Combining sound reduction performance with comfort underfoot, it’s the ideal solution for learning spaces.
Wall cladding for classrooms
Altro Fortis Titanium™ has been specifically designed to protect walls from knocks and scrapes that can affect busy, well-used spaced. Altro Fortis Titanium is dense, impervious and resistant to bumps. It features a lightly textured surface, which camouflages scuffs, keeping the wall area looking better for longer, and it has an easy-to-wipe surface.
Altro Fortis Titanium is available in 11 different colours and the colour runs throughout, reducing the visibility of knocks or scrapes.
