Altro has unveiled its new Altro Flexiflow resin flooring, a product that offers all the quality and robustness of an Altro resin, with one key difference – flexibility.
The new product boasts good indentation recovery and high impact resistance, which is ideal for protecting a wide range of environments. It can be used to overlay day joints and it takes up building movement, so it can be applied over existing expansion joints, within certain tolerances.
Altro Flexiflow comes in three product options, giving customers, designers and specifiers a broad choice of solutions within a wide spectrum of environments.
The standard version of Altro Flexiflow combines flexibility and toughness and is available in 2mm thickness. It is ideal for medium-duty industrial premises with rolling loads, for example corridors, workshops, production areas and mezzanine decks.
Other suitable applications include pharmaceutical sites, mortuaries and clean rooms, craft design and technology areas, circulations areas, atria, high-traffic display areas, exhibition halls, museums, markets and heavy commercial areas.
The Altro Flexiflow comfort version also offers robustness and flexibility, but with added comfort underfoot. Available in 2mm thickness, this product is great to walk and stand on and is perfect where people are on their feet all day.
Applications include light production areas and laboratories, mental health seclusion rooms and low stimulus rooms, aged care facilities, retail, museums, galleries, atria and operating theatres.
Altro Flexiflow flooring also has an acoustic option, available in 5mm to 6mm thickness. This provides ca.18dB noise reduction as standard and an enhanced level of comfort underfoot, reducing the fatigue caused by long periods of standing on hard floors in areas such as music rooms, libraries, school classrooms and assembly rooms.
Altro Flexiflow is available in 28 standard pastel, solid and bright colours, with the option of bespoke shades, giving complete design freedom. There is minimal requirement for joints, and the product is self-levelling, which means a perfect, seamless and uniform finish with uninterrupted lines.
In addition, its matt surface is mark resistant, so it will stay looking good for longer. Altro Flexiflow features a PUR top coat for UV colour stability, durability and ease of cleaning.
Altro Flexiflow couldn’t be easier to install. Its self-levelling ability means it goes down fast on site, and can be laid over green concrete with AltroProof Solo primer to really speed up installation.The flexible nature of the product means it’s more tolerant of a variety of substances, reducing the need for remedial work.
The product also has superb green credentials – it has more than 50% renewable natural oil content, making it much kinder to the environment. It can easily be refreshed by applying a new topcoat dressing to replace only the wear layer. This means there is no need to uplift and replace the main body of the floor, thereby extending its lifecycle.
The product contains very few Volatile Organic Compounds, making it kinder to the environment.
