Altro Fortis Titanium extruded sheet is supplied with a protective film on its face which can be left in place until the room is ready for use.
This also helps to protect the surface from dust while other trades are in the area. It is ideal for applications requiring a durable easy-to-clean, almost maintenance free wall finish.

Fixing

The sheets can be fixed directly to most dry substrates depending on its surface suitability, using one of the following methods:

  1. AltroFix™ W139 all over adhesive
  2. AltroFix™ W157 W157 all over adhesive

Cutting

A jigsaw is the best method, however a fine toothed hand saw or circular saw with pressure guide can also be used.

Jointing

- see relevant detailed drawings

  1. A high impact extruded PVCu ‘H’ joint trim (available in two part or single part profiles), incorporating a watertight seal at the mouth of the joint, which is unique to Altro.
  2. Colour co-ordinated Altro FlexiJoint™
  3. Hot welded joint - ask for details.
  4. Altro sanitary sealant 3mm joint.
  5. Altro Flexitrim™ a bevelled top-edge trim for dado height.

Internal / external corners

- see relevant detailed drawings
Altro Fortis Titanium is normally thermoformed on-site, so that window and door reveals are neatly clad without an edge joint. However, profiles are available for the selfinstaller to cope with these details. Vulnerable external corners can be over-clad with Altro Fortis corner protection or stainless steel corner protectors.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning using a soft cloth and a suitably diluted mild detergent is all that is normally required. Stubborn marks can be removed with Altro Cleaner A859 or non-abrasive domestic type cream bath cleaner.
Do not use abrasive pads or wire wool. Do not clean above 60°C. Cleaning cards are available on request.


Chemical resistance

Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, specific details on request.

Availability

Ex-stock.

Storage & conditioning (on-site)

Sheets should be stored flat, fully supported and left for 24 hours to attain the ambient room temperature prior to installation (min 14°C).

Limitations of use

Altro Fortis Titanium has a maximum working temperature of 60°C. For temperatures above this use stainless steel. Stainless steel must be used for all open flame areas (available cut to size). If a layout showing the position of equipment can be supplied, we will provide specific advice as to the best combination of materials to use.

Typical applications

  • corridors
  • classrooms
  • circulation areas

However, where Altro has no control over the selection of its products for particular applications, it is important that any prospective customer, user or specifier, satisfies him / herself that the product is suitable for the intended application. In this process, due regard should be taken of the nature and composition of the background / base and the ambient conditions both at the time of laying / applying / installing / curing of the material and when the completed work is to be brought into use.
