When it came to upgrading the old cork tiled surface, Tony Walters of Mouchel Parkman called in Altro for some advice. To overcome certain subfloor constraints, a decision was taken to install Altro Mirica safety flooring as a loose lay system, incorporating Altro Everlay A underlayment. Altro Mirica was chosen for the dining room to help prevent against slips and trips in an area prone to all types of spillage, and the incorporation of the Everlay gave the floor the added benefit of cushioned comfort and enhanced sound absorption.
Altro Mirica has been developed to retain its attractive appearance, even in high traffic areas and has been created with the needs of the end user in mind. Its modern patterned look is designed to help camouflage scuffing and routine daily soiling in between cleaning, which means circulation areas can look as good at the end of the day as they do first thing in the morning. The product also incorporates Altro Maxis patented technology for ease of cleaning and ongoing reduction in cleaning costs.
"The installation at Fairlands Primary School demonstrates why Altro's range of products offer the perfect solution for the school environment. It meets the health and safety outputs demanded by schools, as well as providing a great looking finish. Altro's products are versatile and easy to work with, meaning our fitters always enjoy working with their products." Keith Vernon, Shedon Interiors

"We are very impressed with the finish that Altro Mirica has provided in the dining hall. There is none of the usual 'sparkle' associated with traditional safety flooring, which provides a very attractive finish and consistent finish. It also retains its appearance well, even after heavy use. We are now looking to use further Altro products within other areas of the school."
