Wanting to update their bathrooms, they decided to approach Altro for material for 2 trial bathrooms. Altro was happy to help and arranged for flooring and walling to be sent to their installers. The outcome has been great and the go-ahead for the other 46 bathrooms will begin over 2018.

Altro Pisces was used for the floor which is the perfect solution for a wet and dry, shoe and barefoot environment. It provides safety underfoot achieving an R11, P5 and Class B for slip resistance and is easy to clean and maintain.

Altro Whiterock White was used for the walls providing a hygienic wipe clean surface with the added bonus of impact resistance.

Matthew Hafford, Operations Manager for The Manor Aged Care spoke about the project, saying, "The new bathrooms look great and the products have enhanced the cleaning capability and provide a high level of hygiene and infection control. Staff find the surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, therefore allowing us more time to focus on care."

About The Products

Altro Pisces was developed for home away from home environments where you need to maintain a peaceful look to promote wellbeing.
