Easy safety flooring for retail and pool change rooms
February 23rd, 2011
Flooring manufacturer Altro has launched Altro XpressLay – a revolutionary new safety flooring which can be installed without the use of adhesive.
While not suitable for use around the poolside, it is suitable for change rooms and cafeterias, as well as retail stores.
It is the first ever safety floor which can be installed using tape rather than traditional contact adhesive, making it extremely quick and easy to fit. It can be laid over existing problem surfaces such as vinyl tiles or flaky painted floors, helping to save the time, cost and disruption associated with removing the existing subfloor.
With no hard-to-remove adhesive required, XpressLay is ideal for retailers where regular refurbishments are necessary, or in installations where ‘making good’ might prove difficult.
The unique profiled underside means that Altro XpressLay can be used on fresh concrete subfloors up to 97 per cent relative humidity, meaning there is no need to wait for a new subfloor to reach 75 per cent relative humidity, nor is there any need to apply a surface damp-proof membrane.
It has a slip resistance rating of R10.
