Altro Stronghold 30, Altro Classic 25, Altro Whiterock White
Cardijn College is a co-educational Catholic school in Adelaide’s beautiful Southern Vales region. In 2020, the school began a refurbishment project for some of its learning spaces. Altro Stronghold™ 30 / K30 was selected and installed as a durable, slip-resistant flooring solution for the home economics kitchens and school cafeteria.
Stage 2 of the project was completed in 2022, with Altro Stronghold™ 30 / K30 specified in their science laboratories and new commercial kitchen. Altro Whiterock White™ was used as a hygienic, impermeable wall protection lining in these spaces. And for the art and textiles classrooms, Altro Classic™ 25 / X25 was installed as the flooring solution.
Based on previous successful installations, Paul Boyce, Director of Tridente Boyce Design Studio, specified Altro’s floor and wall solutions for this project as they were fit-for-purpose solutions that would meet the school’s requirements.
Altro Stronghold™ 30 / K30 achieves Altro’s highest rating for slip resistance (P5, R12) and is designed to minimise risk in wet and greasy conditions for the lifetime of the flooring, making it an ideal selection for commercial kitchens, canteens, food preparation and service areas. Altro Classic™ 25 / X25 provides lasting slip resistance, durability and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for spaces where contaminants such as chalk, paint, clay or dirt can be found, such as craft, design, technology or art rooms. Both floor solutions feature Altro Easyclean Original Technology, which makes cleaning and maintenance easy.
Altro Whiterock White™ is a proven, high-performance wall protection solution and a hygienic alternative to ceramic tiles. Impact-resistant, impermeable and grout-free, Whiterock is easy to clean with no ongoing maintenance. Altro Whiterock White™ is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approved and made from a high-quality, food-safe PVCu polymer that can handle temperatures up to 60°C, which makes it suitable for commercial kitchens and food preparation spaces.
Altro floors and walls are tough and built to last. With a 30-year product guarantee for Altro Whiterock White™ and a 20-year product guarantee for both Altro Stronghold™ 30 / K30 and Altro Classic™ 25 / X25, Cardijn College’s investment in quality will ensure a safe, hygienic, durable floor and wall solution that will outlast many generations of students at the college.
