Altro Whiterock, available from IDS, hits hygiene targets
Published:  08 March, 2011

With hygiene regulations demanding that surfaces are durable, impervious and impact resistant, specifiers and contractors need look no further than Altro Whiterock PVCu walling system, available exclusively nationwide through IDS. Benefitting from a watertight, seamless surface, Altro Whiterock provides a decorative, practical and hygienic solution for a wide range of applications including healthcare, education, catering, and laboratories as well as retail and office environments.

With its 2.5mm thick semi-rigid wall cladding system, Altro’s hygienic surface is certified to all EU hygiene standards, as well as fire resistance to Class 0 as defined by the Building Regulations when tested to BS476 Part 6 (installed on to a no combustible substrate). Altro Whiterock is impervious, preventing water ingress into the substrate, thereby avoiding structural damage. It can be hygienically finished around fixtures and fittings; and, unlike a tiled surface, Altro Whiterock does not require grout so the risk of contamination is dramatically reduced. The fully bonded system includes thermoformed internal and external pencil radius corners eliminating bacteria traps while making it extremely easy to clean and disinfect. In addition it is exceptionally resistant to impact, and does not crack or chip.

Altro Whiterock is available in a range of colours with a number of colours within the range being DDA (Disabilities & Discrimination Act) approved. The Altro Whiterock sheets come in lengths of 2.5m or 3m x 1.2m wide along with extrusions and accessories which ensure a professional and long-lasting finish. The product comes with a 20 year warranty, if installed correctly according to Altro guidelines.

Says Andy Sutton, Business Development Director for IDS:

“Altro is without doubt the best-in-class when it comes to hygienic wall solutions and this is reflected in the product being the most widely specified PVC wall panelling in its field. With the partnership between IDS and Altro flourishing, we can guarantee swift delivery nationwide whether for a single project or national programme.”
