The new, circular, building at Grimsby Institute provides modern teaching spaces and animal welfare facilities including a veterinary practice with overnight accommodation, kennels, a dog grooming parlour, treatment rooms, and housing for different animal species including parrots and guinea pigs. The centre required flooring solutions that offered robust slip resistance to minimise accidents ensuring a secure footing for both humans and animals, particularly in high-traffic and potentially wet zones. Durability and ease of cleaning were also key concerns, as maintaining a hygienic environment is essential for animal health and welfare.
A complete Altro floor and wall system was recommended to ensure smooth room transitions, tightly welded joints, and raised upstands at wall junctions minimising dirt traps and making cleaning easier. The floor also needed to be suitable for an underfloor heating system, and flexible enough to be cut to fit the intricate layout of the centre.
To meet the demanding requirements, the architect, Farrell and Clark specified Altro floors to Grimsby TEC Partnership, and S&D Flooring Ltd were responsible for the project installation.
Altro Suprema, with superior stain, abrasion and scratch resistance was specified for the animal wellbeing areas. Altro Reliance 25 provided slip resistance in communal areas with Altro Whiterock White hygienic wall cladding providing protection in all required areas.
Altro Suprema is available in a range of stylish colours reflecting contemporary trends. This award-winning, non-sparkle, low-gloss safety flooring has superior stain, abrasion and scratch resistance, making it great for busy and critical hygiene areas.
Altro Reliance 25 is a stylishly tough safety floor, great for public areas where hard-wearing, cleanable and stain-resistant products are essential.
Altro Whiterock White is a proven, high performance, hygienic alternative to ceramic tiles. Impact-resistant, impermeable, grout-free, easy maintenance with a pure white finish making it a favourite in kitchens, clinical areas and bathrooms.
“We’re absolutely delighted with the installation of our new Altro flooring. The process was smooth, professional and tailored to the unique needs of our Animal Management Centre.”
“Working with a space that houses a wide variety of animals means durability, hygiene and safety are essential, and the Altro products have exceeded our expectations on every front.”
