New Altro Wood adhesive-free has helped to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere at Coate Water Care’s Woodstock Nursing Home in Gloucester. Specified for bedrooms and en suites, the flooring was quick to fit and caused minimal disruption.
Altro Wood adhesive-free is a safety wood-look floor with easy cleanability; perfect for decorative, homely or biophilic areas. The range has been created with design freedom in mind - Altro Wood adhesive-free shares some designs with Altro Wood Comfort and Altro Wood, allowing you to coordinate floors with different performance criteria across different areas of the building.
Nursing Home Manager, Trudy Glassonbury, said: “Our previous flooring was getting very tatty and needed replacing. We wanted to continue with a wood-effect product, as it is stylish, homely, and warm looking. We needed something that would be quick to fit so that it would cause minimum disruption to residents.
“C&C Flooring, who we have worked with for many years, recommended the new Altro Wood adhesive-free product because it could go down on top of the existing flooring and would take a fraction of the time to install compared with an adhered product.
“This was ideal for us as we could fit it in the five bedrooms and en suites we were refurbishing without prolonged disruption to residents. It took far less time than an adhered flooring would have taken. There was no need to remove the old flooring, or put down a screed, or drying time. It was so professional and fast. Plus of course there were no adhesive smells, which in a care home setting with vulnerable residents is a very important consideration.”
40 | SAFETY FLOORING
Using Altro’s award-winning adhesive-free installation method, you can halve installation time compared with a traditional adhered installation. Depending on substrate condition, a 200m2 corridor would be laid in two days compared with four days using an adhered floorcovering, with a significant cost saving too.
With no DPM and no adhesive required, floors can be welded and walked on the same day. Adhesive-free floors are ideal for busy public spaces where disruption needs to be minimal, plus there are no associated adhesive odours. And at the end of their life, they can be reused elsewhere or recycled.
The new Altro Wood adhesive-free range was the first floor to use Altro’s innovative underside emboss structure, which provides 14dB impact sound reduction and comfort underfoot. It has 12 wood-look designs, enabling you to create biophilic, stylish, or warm and homely aesthetics together with the safety and durability needed for medium to high traffic areas.
With a 10-year guarantee and Altro’s 'one in a million' slip- resistance reassurance, Altro Wood adhesive-free offers high levels of comfort underfoot providing a safe, durable and decorative solution for busy spaces. Robust enough to withstand rigorous and frequent cleaning, like all Altro floors, Altro Wood adhesive-free can be steam cleaned thousands of times without damage. It is ideal for public-facing areas, where it will continue to make a great first impression and support the wellbeing of users for the lifetime of the product.
Trudy said: “We are delighted with our new flooring; it looks lovely, has superb safety credentials, is very easy to clean and the entire installation process was completely hassle free.”
