Altro Custom floors and walls allow you to design for areas where looks not only count, but can positively affect the views and even the wellbeing of the people who live, work or visit. Imagine classrooms with floors that look like grass or sand; Mexican restaurants with beautiful views of the Mayan Riviera on the walls, or a cutting-edge fashion shop with modern art running from floor to ceiling.
Covenant Care, a non-profit partner in Alberta’s integrated health system, serves seniors with innovation. The St. Teresa Place addition features a safe, homey design for up to 250 supportive living residents that still allows for independence. Its residents live in small pods that make up sections of the facility, each holding up to 12 people, with meals and daily activities held in larger communal areas.
St. Teresa Place requires residents to bring their own beds, chairs and decorative items and encourages other personal belongings, making it seem like they never left home. When moving parents and grandparents from the place they’ve resided for decades to a senior living facility, the key to continued happiness is this homelike feel.
When architecture firm FWBA Architects designed Covenant Care’s new build, St. Teresa Place, they needed flooring that would protect both residents and caregivers alike.
Shower rooms, bathing areas and other wet environments can be some of the most dangerous areas in a senior living facility. Once water is added to any room, slip and fall risks rise – more so in senior living, considering as people age, the risk of slips increases without water.
Altro Aquarius safety flooring was selected for use in St. Teresa Place’s bathing, tub and spa areas. Some wet room safety floors defend either bare feet or shoes from slipping, but Altro Aquarius does both. The flooring’s design allows for residents and aides to occupy the space without compromising either’s safety.
Achieving Class B to DIN 51097 for barefoot use, plus PTV ≥50 (Slider 96), Altro Aquarius provides optimum lifetime sustained slip resistance in wet and dry environments. The range features plain and tonal chip options to help you achieve high contrast and design flexibility. It has been extensively tested with a variety of shoes and contaminants to ensure top performance in high-risk environments. It’s also easy to clean. With Altro Aquarius you can have it all: good looks and safety.
St. Teresa’s food serveries, laundry areas and care stations again opted for Altro, choosing Altro Walkway 20 safety flooring. Four Altro Walkway 20 colours have an exact match in the Altro Aquarius line, allowing for coordinated design from wet rooms to general areas.
Theresa Yauck, Associate Architect at FWBA Architects of Calgary, said choosing Altro for St. Teresa Place was pretty self-explanatory.
“Altro out-performs all others in offerings of slip resistance options and visual aesthetic appeal,” she said.
