Chameleon wall sheet in Ocean Blue and Altro Walkway 20 safety flooring in Lupin.
“Visual stimulation is very important for the children at Haven House, and we used Altro Whiterock DigicladTM walling to create some wonderful water-themed artwork in both the Hydrotherapy Bathroom and teenagers’ en-suite” said Judi.
“The aim was to make these rooms look colourful and less clinical, but the artwork also needed to be permanent, hygienic and hardwearing. Altro Whiterock Digiclad is perfect because it’s so simple, yet very effective. You can create any design you want, it’s wipe-clean, hygienic and it won’t peel off.
“We created an underwater theme in the Hydrotherapy Bathroom using Altro Digiclad — with exotic fish and coral — and various water and beach designs for each of the teenagers’ en-suites. We are thrilled with these images; the quality is superb, sharp and clean, and the children love them too.”
Both these areas were also fitted with Altro Pisces safety flooring in the shade Jellyfish.
“Safety underfoot in wet areas is vital, for both staff and children, and Altro Pisces has been specifically created for this need,” Judi said.
“We can have total confidence that everyone is secure, whether they are wearing shoes or have bare feet, and the flooring looks great too.”
A few months aſter the refurbishment, the feedback from children, staff and visitors to their new colourful environment
- 30 -
at Haven House has been overwhelming.
Haven House Director of Care, Eileen White, said: “The new bright and colourful interior has had such a profound effect in so many
ways, which is thrilling for us all because it’s exactly what we wanted to achieve.
“We have had very positive feedback from staff, children and visitors; the mother of one teenager cried when she saw the teenage wet room with the Altro Digiclad image.
“The wonderful colours have helped us to create an upliſting environment for staff and young people alike. The colour zones have enabled us to make positive experiences and happy memories, and the calming, bleached wood effect flooring reminds me of driſtwood. Coupled with the Altro Digiclad tropical underwater wildlife and beach scenes, the imagination takes you to a warm, relaxing shoreline.”
Eileen continued: “So many people have exclaimed when they’ve seen the rainbow staircases for the first time. We’ve had comments such as: “They look amazing and entice you to go up and down – wow”. This was from someone who was visiting for the first time, something which a family, or individual, might not be looking forward to, but it’s so wonderful to start their experience with an invigorating rainbow of colours.
“On a more practical note, the floors and walls look as fresh and vibrant as when they were first fitted and are very easy to clean and take care of. We are using a steam cleaning system which is keeping the floors looking bright and fresh.”
