"Estates and facilities managers in the healthcare sector have an unenviable job as they are tasked with maintaining an environment with constant movement of patients and equipment. Surfaces really take a battering – a freshly painted wall usually lasts just six months before it looks scruffy and needs redoing.
"We've found that Altro Whiterock is an ideal cladding solution, as it really stands up to the daily bumps and scrapes from trolleys and gurneys. A real bonus is that it can be thermoformed on site, so we can clad over the top of existing furniture, such as bathroom vanity units, at a fraction of the cost of installing new furniture. It is also much cleaner and faster to install than tiling, meaning there is no need to evacuate an entire ward of patients whilst the work is carried out.
