Maximum impact, minimum downtime

Altro’s Cantata product – its first adhesive-free flooring for areas with a low slip risk – is demonstrating its capabilities at Warrington Hospital in a busy nonclinical corridor.

Altro Cantata is a decorative, adhesivefree flooring designed to ‘create maximum impact with minimum downtime’. It can be welded and walked on the same day, and at the end of its life removed easily, allowing reuse or recycling. 

Lee Bushell, Warrington Hospital’s acting head of Capital Projects, said: “There was a very short window for installation, because the corridor is in use until 7 pm, but the installation was completed in a single night. A flooring that needs adhesive would have taken 3-4 days to fit.

He continued: “This is an area that gets an enormous amount of foot and wheeled traffic. The flooring is standing up to the demands well, with no signs of movement, bubbling, or rippling, proving it truly is a long-term solution. It comes up like new after every nightly cleaning regime, and even the stubborn black wheel marks are gone. Scrubbing machines and buffers are doing a wonderful job, with no damage. 

“Sustainability is also important. Because Altro Cantata is an adhesive-free flooring, if we need to make repairs, we can simply cut out a section and replace it, without having to re-lay the entire area. The flooring is also 100 per cent recyclable.”
