Wet rooms and bathrooms

Make the right impression

A welcoming environment is important whatever the setting. From a contemporary scheme in a hotel wet room to functional student accommodation, our wall, door and floor solutions provide you with design flexibility to create safe and stylish interiors.

With clever use of colours and combining our floor and wall systems, you can create a spa-like oasis in residential accommodation, help to make a sports changing room a dynamic and inspiring space or design a comforting bathing experience in a care home or hospital.

Preventing slips where it matters: our test results

At Altro we combine available industry slip resistance tests to get the most accurate proof of just how safe our flooring is. We believe standard industry test values don’t always provide clarity of slip potential and categories of values are too broad, which is why we combine them.

Our safety floors for wet environments are tested with real life contaminants: shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Altro Aquarius and Altro Pisces still have a PTV of ≥36 (slider 96) against all these contaminants and the risk of slipping is just one in a million; however, with water alone they maintain a PTV of ≥50 (slider 96).

Both floors achieve an R11 on the ramp test.

Keep bugs at bay

Wet environments can hide a multitude of bacteria owing to the moist environment. The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that persistent dampness and microbial growth on interior surfaces and in building structures should be avoided or minimised as they may lead to adverse health effects. To ensure a clean, healthy environment for all users install floor, wall and door systems that are easy-to-clean.

Having a system that does not give bacteria anywhere to hide is a priority; Altro Whiterock is a fully bonded wall system: with sealed edges, abutments and joining and together with Altro Whiterock hygienic doorsets you can be sure bugs are kept at bay.
