Why Choose Altro Safety Flooring?
Whether you are driven by the need for slip resistance, safety, hygiene, color, design, cleanability, performance, or location, Altro is an ideal product for you. Perfect for areas where water is unavoidable: kitchens, dishwasher areas, bars, restrooms, and even operating rooms. Anywhere that water travels, Altro Safety Flooring is the answer. I have been installing Altro Safety Flooring for over 20 years and the versatility and durability of this product has been proven time and time again. The drains featured on this page allow water to flow where it should, but often inexperienced installers and plumbers choose the wrong drains and that can be the downfall of any install. At Forrester Flooring, we will ensure that your plumber knows which drain to buy and how to install them properly. There is nothing worse than visiting a job site and seeing that the wrong drain is the root of water damage.

Altro Safety Flooring Walkway 20Above is the Altro Walkway 20. This is a hard-wearing 2mm safety flooring which provides lifelong slip and abrasion resistance. It also offers durability, enhanced chemical and indentation resistance, all of which contribute to a longer life expectancy.
Walkway 20 is just one of the product lines that Altro offers. Altro Safety Flooring is available in varying thicknesses: 2.0mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.0mm depending on your wear needs. Each line offers an array of colors, ranging from traditional solids for a conservative approach to the Designer 25 which is infused with colored quartz crystals to enhance any interior scheme. For every color, there are a multitude of choices. Altro Floors invented the safety flooring over 40 years ago and this product has become a staple in restaurants, hospitals, and health care facilities, pretty much wherever floors have the potential to become wet and slippery and endangering the lives of individuals, these floors are the solution. Actually when the floors become wet, they are even more slip resistant. |
Solid Vinyl Wood Plank FlooringSolid vinyl wood plank flooring is an excellent choice for flooring in dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, anywhere that water is not a constant. I have used this product in many restaurants, hotels, and residential properties. This product can be installed over existing quarry tile, V.C.T., regular ceramic tile, linoleum, and nail down hardwood flooring. It is ideal for a quick install with limited shutdown. It is slip resistant, offers easy maintenance, and is adhesive free! The best part, you can walk on it the minute you put it down and if for some unforeseen reason there is extensive water damage due to a leak or mother nature, you can pop a few planks out, replace them and you are back in business.

This photo was taken at Justice Resource Institute after we installed Mannington Natures Path vinyl wood plank, color: Honeytone. Our experienced staff have worked in numerous treatment facilities where decorum and safety are serious issues. Keeping equipment in locked toolboxes, meticulous cleaning sites at day's end and treating patients with courtesy and respect are a given.

This flooring can be installed over most substrates without a lot of preparation because sometimes work places cannot close down for their flooring needs. This product is a good alternative to meet those quick turn around jobs in facilities that are unable to close during regular hours.

Hardwood Floors |
This floor is a Bruce (Armstrong) prefinished hardwood flooring which is perfect for new installation. There is no sanding or staining on-site which means homeowners do not need to move out. These floors can be walked on immediately after installation.
At Forrester Flooring we also specialize in sanding floors as well. The photo below is from a residential property. We bring floors back to life when our professional team sands and refinishes the floors with a heavy duty gym finish that is used for the NBA gym floors. The transformation is incredible. |
