Altro has expanded its range of wall cladding with the introduction of new Altro Fortis\u2122 – a system that provides seriously tough protection for walls, doors and corners. Altro Fortis keeps interiors safe from impact and scuff damage, and looking good for longer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Altro Fortis has been developed to work with the popular Altro Whiterock\u2122 range to create aesthetic consistency between hygienic and general areas.\u00a0Where Altro Whiterock offers an ultra-hygienic wall protection system, Altro Fortis offers enhanced protection for areas where scuff and impact protection is the priority. Altro Fortis also combines perfectly with Altro\u2019s 2.5mm safety flooring ranges, providing a complete, durable and fully-integrated system for hard-working areas.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, Altro Fortis has the strength to deliver long-term protection where high levels of impact are expected. It is ideal for use where walls, doors and corners are constantly knocked, such as school classrooms and corridors, non-clinical areas in healthcare, retail, and any busy public and service areas. In fact, anywhere that needs to work hard, but where appearances matter.<\/p>\n
Whittington Health, in north London, is already using Altro Fortis wall protection in their Emergency Department (ED) \u2018hot corridor\u2019, and the system is proving robust enough to withstand the rigours of busy hospital life.<\/p>\n
Estates Officer Jerry Burrell, says: \u201cThe ED corridor is very busy 24\/7, with beds and equipment passing through, often at speed. Over the years this has damaged the walls, which was just single-skin plasterboard, and we really needed to rethink the area and upgrade to a more suitable wall covering that would give long term protection.<\/p>\n
\u201cAltro Fortis was a great choice for us – it really has transformed the corridor. The product is very resistant to scrapes and bumps and doesn\u2019t show any marks. It looks good too, so it\u2019s more than just functional. For these high traffic, general areas, Altro Fortis is proving the ideal wall covering.<\/p>\n
