Floor and wall solutions for mines
Working on a mining site poses unique challenges. These sites operate round the clock, resulting in rapid wear and tear and limited time for repairs and regular maintenance. Accessing remote locations is difficult and expensive, with labour costs being the highest expense for maintenance. Harsh conditions, including red dust and humidity, create an ideal environment for mould and bacteria
growth. Additionally, the red dust stains everything it comes into contact with, making cleaning an ongoing and challenging task. Temperature fluctuations further complicate matters as different spaces, such as wet areas, bedrooms, communal spaces, kitchens, and offices, have varying needs and are impacted differently.

Kitchen solutions
Hygiene meets durability
Commercial kitchens on mining sites are truly unique. Unlike most commercial kitchens, they operate 24 hours a day. This means they cannot be closed or easily renovated in stages. Therefore, it is crucial that any refurbishments are done properly, or better yet, kitchens are designed and built to last for the lifecycle of the space. Kitchens require durable, fit-forpurpose products that withstand constant wear and tear but meet stringent hygiene and food safety standards.
Altro’s integrated safety flooring and wall protection solutions combat slips, contamination,
cleaning and maintenance challenges faced in these critical environments. They fit together perfectly to provide a hygienic, watertight solution that ensures the health and safety of everyone. Durability and lasting performance are supported by industry-leading product guarantees, giving you peace of mind that you are investing in quality products. Additionally, our floors and walls can be installed over existing sound and secure surfaces, reducing preparation time and costs.

Adhesive-free flooring
Fast, efficient installation with no downtime
Mining sites pose unique challenges as they operate continuously, leading to rapid wear and limited chances for maintenance and repair. Products used at mining sites must be resilient, tough, and simple and quick to install. Altro’s adhesivefree flooring ranges offer a quick fit without compromising on durability.
Altro offers time-saving solutions and systems to fast-track installation and reduce time onsite. Our three adhesive-free flooring ranges require no adhesive, allowing for a fast and hassle-free installation with minimal disruption to users. These ranges can be up and running on the same day
without the need to wait for the glue to dry or odours to dissipate, resulting in cost savings and less disturbance to those using the space.
Additionally, these floors can be installed over existing sound and secure surfaces, reducing preparation time and costs even further. Industrial-grade tape is used instead of adhesives, preventing damage to subfloors and coving when the floor is removed, saving time and costs in bringing the floor back to its original state. Altro’s adhesive-free flooring can be reused or recycled, so it’s better for the environment too.

Solutions that reduce cleaning time
Easy to clean and low maintenance products that maintain hygiene and safety standards
Mining sites require constant operations, leading to a 24/7 demand for efficient cleaning. The cleaning process must be fast yet effective. Altro products are designed to be easy to clean and maintain without compromising hygiene and safety.
In kitchens and bathrooms, our integrated wall and flooring system work together to create a seamless, waterproof surface that inhibits the growth of bacteria and mould— making them easy to clean and maintain without compromising hygiene and safety.

Mentally healthy designs
Promoting wellbeing and better health outcomes through design
Your mining site serves as both a worksite and a home away from home for your staff. Therefore, it is important that the environment feels welcoming and comfortable to support your staff while they are away for work.
Colour and texture play a significant role in creating warm and inviting spaces. At Altro, we have recognised this and partnered with industry experts to develop colour palettes that encourage relaxation and minimise stress. Our product range features an array of colours and textures, including wood-look designs, which can enhance both physical and emotional wellbeing, creating a soothing, comfortable atmosphere.
Altro’s products can help foster a safe and welcoming environment, promoting rest and reducing the stress and pressure felt by staff during downtime.
Noise levels can greatly affect our ability to rest, therefore incorporating acoustic-friendly products into your space is a must. Altro’s acoustic flooring is designed to absorb sounds and reduce noise in busy spaces, helping to lower the stress levels of those using the space and promote better rest. The cushioning of acoustic flooring provides underfoot comfort, which also helps to reduce fatigue and aids in preventing injuries for staff on their feet all day.
Add local elements to bring your people together
It’s essential to experience a sense of belonging and community regardless of your job or workplace. Mining sites are no different, particularly as your facility is a home away from home for your staff. By incorporating imagery of
your mine site or township, you can establish an identity for your site and unite your team. Altro’s bespoke flooring and walling can help you bring a local feel to foster community among your staff.
