Internal Wall Cladding – Whiterock
Altro Whiterock is a practical and hygienic alternative to traditional wall coverings such as plaster and ceramic tiles.
The cladding comes in a wide range of modern and stylish colours. It is impact resistant, high performance and grout free; all resulting in an easy to clean and limited maintenance.
Whiterock cladding is watertight and has a seamless surface, it is impervious. Water is prevented from ingress into the substrate and causing any structural damage.
In particular, hygienic cladding is ideal for kitchens, washrooms, shower rooms, changing room areas and as an alternative to tiled splashbacks.
Technical
Altro Whiterock is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approved and is made from a high-quality, food-safe PVCu polymer that can handle temperatures up to 60°C. It meets all current European Union (EU) Directives on health and hygiene.
This makes it particularly suitable for use in commercial kitchens and communal areas. For example housing associations, hospitals, health centres and university halls of residence. In addition, there are also a large number of matching Altro floor coverings available for your project.
Altro flooring and cladding is also increasingly being used by landlords to protect their investment portfolios against long term tenant abuse.
