Altro unveils stunning new ranges to deliver
design freedom to full building package
Altro has added LVTs and
designer walls ranges to its
floors, doors and walls
package so you can realise
your design ambitions in every area
for a true full building solution.
Delivering stunning aesthetics
with outstanding durability, all
backed by Altro’s sector-leading
support and expertise, Altro
Ensemble modular flooring system
and Altro Whiterock wall designs
combine perfectly with other Altro
products as part of a package of
expert solutions to meet the needs
of all areas of commercial buildings.
New Altro Ensemble modular
flooring system is the next
generation of luxury vinyl tiles. From
colour blocking to geometric
patterns, with a range of plank and
tile sizes and textures, Altro
Ensemble gives design freedom to
create luxurious floors for interior
spaces. With 57 options to mix and
match, the modular flooring system
has natural wood and stone designs
and bloc colours too. Altro Ensemble
is 2.6mm thick with a 0.55mm wear
layer, 15dB sound reduction qualities
and added comfort underfoot, with
minimal residual indentation and
excellent durability. A truly
exceptional material, it combines
these features with unique flexibility
and is lightweight, making it easy to
transport, cut and handle for
installation.
Altro Ensemble is the perfect
partner to Altro’s new range: Altro
Whiterock wall designs – a new
vision in wall decoration with
natural wood, stone and linen
options plus stunning metallic
designs to give elegance to interior
walls while providing the durability
you expect from Altro Whiterock.
The range includes a copper design
that is already proving popular with
designers.
Altro Whiterock wall designs has
a range of trims and silicon sealants
available, and combines with Altro
floors and doors for a fully sealed,
impervious solution for non-clinical
environments.
The new high-design ranges
coordinate with Altro’s package of
floors, walls and doors to deliver
solutions for every area of
commercial buildings so there is no
need to compromise on choice,
aesthetics or performance in order
to benefit from Altro’s excellent
support and service.
The new ranges are the natural
progression of tried and tested
products, each harnessing decades
of research and expertise in the UK
and in Germany, with extensive
customer feedback integrated into
the development process.
Although new to the UK, Altro
Ensemble is the latest generation of
a product which has been designed,
and manufactured in Germany,
where it has enjoyed market success
for many years and is an excellent
example of German engineering at
its best. It has undergone an
extensive redesign process, which
has benefited from the combination
of existing technology and new
expertise from several sources
including award-winning colour
consultant Knut Völzke.
In developing Altro Ensemble,
the design team has taken
inspiration from the Bauhaus design
school’s philosophy of combining
form and function to engineer
products that meet the customers’
biggest challenges, such as the need
for cleanability, sustainability and
flexibility. The result is a premium
modular flooring system that offers
variety and design freedom to create
sophisticated, contemporary and
striking designs. It also has the
benefits of local sustainably sourced
raw materials made to Altro’s
exacting manufacturing standards,
which ensure high quality, excellent
durability and high-performance
characteristics.
Altro Whiterock wall designs are
the latest development from Altro’s
UK design and development team,
building upon decades of
experience. The new range makes a
show-stopping design statement. It
is perfect for general circulation
areas, receptions and foyers, as well
as wet environments such as
bathrooms and spas, creating a
design focal point in areas where
you want to make an impression.
Matching sealants and contrasting
and co-ordinating trims are
available.
