Altro’s new Altro Pisces is a wet environment safety flooring for shoes and bare feet which ‘combines all the benefits of safety flooring with the look and feel of home’.
It is the first flooring to be developed with new AltroBead technology, ‘giving a soft and domestic feel developed with comfort, warmth, and relaxation in mind, and avoiding the clinical feel some home-from-home environments create’. Altro said: “With a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of ≥50, a soft-look finish, and 16 attractive shades, Altro Pisces allows users to bridge the gap between high-performance safety flooring and demands for domestic-style flooring.
“For each shade, tiny beads in three carefully selected hues are blended and evenly distributed on top of the base colour, giving the consistent, soft appearance you would expect and want from domestic interiors. The subtle blend of four colours in each shade simplifies matching or choosing walls and fixtures.”
Altro Pisces has been designed ‘to fit perfectly’ with Altro Whiterock hygienic wall cladding, forming a sealed, watertight system for enhanced safety and hygiene. The new flooring provides slip-resistance ‘of one in a million’ against common contaminants found in wet environments including shampoo, conditioner and shower gel (tested using slider 96 (shoes) and slider 55 (bare feet)).
