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.
