Winnington Park Community Primary School in Northwich turned to Altro to supply a package of floor and wall coverings to provide easy to maintain surfaces and a fresh, colourful new look. The school chose the company's Whiterock hygienic wall cladding, using a combination of classic white with pink in the girls' toilets and Heather, a pale lilac blue, in the boys' toilets.
The semi-rigid hygienic PVC-u wall cladding with an easy to clean surface can be wiped, steam cleaned or pressure hosed.
Easy to install, in most cases it can be fixed direct to brick or blockwork, it is said to be low maintenance and offers resistance to stains, chemical spillages and impact. Co-ordinating walkway from Altro was installed to give an attractive and yet practical multi-surface finish.
According to Altro slips and trips are the most common causes of accidents in the UK. The company, a manufacturer of safety flooring, is currently running a health and safety campaign in an attempt to raise awareness of slips and trips. It has also recently introduced Maxis Suprema, the first in a series of decorative safety floors, designed for corridors and public areas. The range has been developed to offer wide aesthetic options, without compromising on safety in these locations.
Replacement of ageing vinyl and linoleum flooring at Harlington Community School in Hayes, Middlesex, has been carried out using Maxis from Altro. After a five-month trial in selected areas of the school, staff concluded that the Maxis worked well, and specified over 1,400m2 for all school corridors and circulation areas. This safety flooring offers good underfoot safety, combined with an easily cleaned surface. The new flooring has performed so well that a further 200m2 for the main reception area. The school is reported to be delighted at the easy cleaning and elimination of any marks.
