Adaptable Altro Gives Youngsters A Smart But Safe Home

From flooring in a mobility room to wall cladding in shower cubicles, Altro has proven it can turn its hand to any task when it supplied materials for a care centre makeover. Altro products were used in a range of rooms at The Junction, a young people's mental health assessment and treatment centre, near Lancaster.

As part of the vast refit the AltroSmooth Ethos golden oak flooring proved a popular choice and was used in the reception area, corridors, offices, lounge, games room, bedrooms and therapy rooms. In some areas this was complemented with Altro's innovative wood-look safety flooring Altro Timbersafe Oak. Altro Maxis in a blue shade was also widely used in areas including staff and visitor toilets, store rooms, bathrooms and ensuites. In the kitchen, The Junction tapped into the array of coloured flooring offered by Altro for its kitchen and went for a deep red Altro Maxis to complement the Whiterock wall cladding.

The brief given by The Junction, enabled Altro to supply a solution for a variety of needs from its vast range of products including smooth flooring, safety flooring and easy to clean wall cladding.

"We set a complex brief for Altro as it was extremely important that on a practical level, both the flooring and walls in wet areas stood up to the test. I am delighted to say that not only has Altro provided practical solutions but also all the products are of the highest standard and pleasing to the eye. Tiled areas are just not practical for The Junction due to the vulnerable nature of the children and I was really pleased with the vast range of alternative floors and walls, which Altro could offer. The end product is fantastic and both staff and the children are delighted."
