AltroCrete PU Fast-Track is a 5-9mm textured floor made for heavy duty areas of potential spillage and increased temperature range. It has excellent resistance to impact and abrasion and to a wide range of chemicals.\u00a0 With a high level of slip resistance, it is ideal for food and drink production areas and heavy industrial applications. The \u2018Fast Track\u2019 option has the added benefit of a rapid overnight cure.<\/p>\n
For the new station\u2019s kitchen, showers and locker rooms, Alan Jones and his team selected Altro Whiterock WhiteTM <\/sup>wall cladding. \u201cThis is a superb product because it\u2019s practical and very low maintenance,\u201d said Alan.<\/p>\n Altro Whiterock White is impact resistant, grout-free and easy to clean. It is made from a high-quality, food-safe PVCu polymer that can handle temperatures up to 60\u00b0C, and meets all current EU Directives on health and hygiene.<\/p>\n Alan Jones continued: \u201cFor the floors in the showers, we chose Altro AquariusTM<\/sup> safety flooring because we wanted a surface that was hard-wearing, safe underfoot in all conditions, comfortable, attractive and easy to clean. It\u2019s a very modern-looking product with some great colours.\u201d<\/p>\n Altro Aquarius was developed for lasting performance in wet and dry, with shoes or barefoot. Like all Altro safety flooring, it offers sustained slip resistance for the lifetime of the product, keeping your risk of a slip to just 1 in a million. It’s a 2mm safety floor that has been extensively tested on a variety of shoe types to ensure top performance in a host of environments \u2013 bathrooms, changing areas, shower areas, spas and more. It’s also easy to clean, with Altro Easyclean Maxis PUR technology.<\/p>\n For the new fire station\u2019s communal areas, stairs and corridors, Alan Jones specified Altro WalkwayTM<\/sup> 20. \u201cThis is a great safety flooring \u2014 tough, long-lasting and with a good colour range to choose from,\u201d he said. \u201cWe selected \u2018Midnight\u2019 to complement the colour scheme of the new station.\u201d<\/p>\n Altro Walkway 20 is a hugely popular hard-wearing, 2mm safety flooring, providing lifelong slip and abrasion resistance. Additional benefits include chemical and indentation resistance, which adds to its excellent durability and PUR cleanability.<\/p>\n Dave Cope, Director of Flo-Dek (UK) Ltd, oversaw the installation of the AltroCrete PU resin flooring in the stations\u2019 new appliance bay. \u201cTo minimise downtime, the Fire and Rescue<\/p>\n Service wanted the resin floor to be installed over the existing quarry tiles,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we did some tests on site and decided they needed to be removed and offered guidance on falls and drainage systems.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce the existing tiled floor and subscreed had been removed, we planed the floor to create a suitable surface profile and provide a mechanical key. We then installed a stainless steel slot drainage channel.<\/p>\n \u201cThe next stage was to install AltroPol, a polymer underlayment screed, laid to falls, at 80mm thick in the 300m2 <\/sup>area. We needed to ensure that the falls on the AltroPol prevented water from migrating into other adjacent areas.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>After the AltroPol had cured we laid a 9mm layer of AltroCrete resin. We subsequently used AltroCove PU to form coving around all the walls and columns in the appliance bay.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>The installation went very well,\u201d added Dave. \u201cUsing AltroCrete PU Fast-Track means a much-reduced installation time, without any compromise on quality.\u201d<\/p>\n The safety flooring at the new station was installed by Alto Flooring. Director Russell Simon said: \u201cWe have 20 years experience of laying Altro flooring. It\u2019s a very popular brand, and with good reason.<\/p>\n \u201cThe installation of the Altro flooring was a phased project over the course of three months, with two or three fitters on site. We had to work closely with other installers and of course the main contractor, Spectus, and everyone co-operated very well. \u00a0Altro flooring is very easy to work with and the end result looks impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n MG Duff installed the Altro Whiterock at Malvern Fire Station. \u201cAs an Altro Whiterock Premier Installer we are committed to Altro Whiterock and specialise in putting it into a wide range of applications, such as schools and kitchens,\u201d said Estimator Barry Stevens.<\/p>\n \u201cAltro Whiterock is undoubtedly the best of its kind. The combination of reliability and guaranteed quality and support makes it unique and highly cost effective.<\/p>\n![\"Altro](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Altro-and-Malvern-1-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\")
