and commerce. This advanced range of PVC cladding systems
offers outstanding levels of hygiene, ease of cleaning and
maintenance, durability and value for money.

and non toxic, smooth up to an appropriate height'

Thermoforming on site
This picture illustrates the outstanding impact resistance of
Altro Whiterock in comparison to ceramic tiles. When
tested by the 'Dropped Ball' method to BS-EN 438 - 2 1991, the
tiles were damaged by even minor impact while the Altro
Whiterock showed no visible damage even after impact from 3.5
metres. (Picture shows impact damage to tiles caused by
drop from 2.5m.) Tests carried out by Russell House
Laboratories Ltd.

You may need extra resistance to impact, or the use of solvent-free adhesives to minimise disruption. You may need extra resistance to heat in localised areas. You may need extra dimensional stability or fire resistance. You may be looking for colours or patterns to brighten up a room.
