Homely & hygienic

Altro Whiterock Chameleon wall cladding was chosen to add bright blocks of high gloss colour in birthing rooms, corridors, kitchens and en suite bathrooms at Meadow Birth Centre. These bursts of colour were used alongside Altro Whiterock White – a cost-effective sheet extruded from a high quality PVCu polymer. Easy to clean, impact resistant and grout-free, it meets all current EU Directives on health and hygiene.

Safety flooring was a must for the birthing unit, and Altro Aquarius – a specialist solution developed specifically for use in wet and dry areas, for shoe and barefoot use – was suitable for this environment which sees midwives, other staff and visitors plus mothers in and out of birthing pools with bare feet. 

Altro Zodiac Smooth flooring was used in the unit’s corridors. It is easy to maintain and can be welded to provide a hygienic surface, making it ideal for areas where infection control and high standards of cleanliness are required.

Louise Turbutt from Meadow Birth Centre said: “Altro’s products have been a welcome addition to our new Meadow Birth Centre; they have proved high quality and are easy to clean."
