Altro Flooring is first for safety in four new fire stations

A range of Altro safety flooring has been laid in four newly-constructed Gloucestershire community fire stations, underlining its reputation for high performance in demanding environments. Built by Kier Construction as part of a £40m overhaul of the county’s fire and rescue service, the two stations in Gloucester and two in Cheltenham will help firefighters meet their eight-minute response deadline to more than 14,000 additional homes and businesses around the city and boost Gloucestershire’s ability to respond to emergencies, not only locally but when necessary across the region.

Three types of Altro safety flooring have been installed throughout the new buildings – 1800m² of Altro Walkway 20 on the stairs, landings and in some toilets, 2000m² of Altro Impressionist II in working areas and corridors and 200m² of Altro Marine 20 in wet areas such as showers and toilets.

Altro Walkway 20 is a hugely popular, hard-wearing, 2mm safety flooring, providing lifelong slip and abrasion resistance. Additional benefits include superior chemical and indentation resistance, which adds to its excellent durability. Ideal for busy public areas, the product has a life expectancy of 15 years.

Altro Impressionist II is a decorative, yet practical 2mm thick safety flooring which is ideal for medium to high traffic areas. It features coloured chips set in a complementary background, so it can be co-ordinated with adjacent floor and wall finishes.

The coloured chips are fused to the main body of the flooring, resulting in lifelong slip resistance, improved appearance retention and strength. It contains Altro Easyclean Original Technology for ease of cleaning and a bacteriostat to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms. This makes the product ideal for application such as schools, hospitals and supermarkets.



Suitable for a wide range of wet areas such as showers, spas and swimming pools, Altro Marine 20 has a carefully textured 2mm thick dimpled surface specifically designed for safety with wet, bare feet or soft-soled footwear. Comfortable underfoot, it offers superb slip resistance when wet, making it perfect for healthcare, leisure and education applications.
