Tried and True
Altro has over 60 years’ experience in delivering floors and walls for commercial kitchens. Typical applications include kitchens, bakeries, bars, commissaries, grocery stores, food and beverage manufacturing, serveries, food courts, service corridors, industrial areas. You also need to make sure that everyone from the Executive Chef to the four-year-old sitting down to lunch is safe and, better yet, that the food is safe to eat. Safety flooring engineered for these demanding environments teamed with durable wall protection will provide long-lasting, safe and cleanable surfaces for wet, dusty and greasy conditions. We have specifically designed our safety flooring and wall protection to address the issues commonly found in kitchens – slips, contamination, cleaning and maintenance.
What makes it so great?
Safe. Durable. Hygienic & Easy to Clean. Altro flooring provides lasting slip resistance, durability and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for use in heavy traffic areas – particularly in commercial kitchens. Altro Classic 25 is easy to clean and maintain and is available in practical, dirt-hiding shades. It achieves an R11 slip resistance rating.
How does it compare to other solutions?
Some other common types of flooring used in commercial areas are Epoxy or Ceramic quarry Tile. Tiles and epoxy can look good, but there is more to hygiene and durability than meets the eye. Grout is porous, making tiles more susceptible to harboring bacteria. In fact, quarry tile bacteria counts were ten times higher than Altro in an independent laboratory Halo test. Epoxy can also chip and crack easily, allowing dirt and bacteria to collect and hide from cleaners.
