Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust was an early adopter of Altro Cantata™ adhesive-free flooring, putting it to the test in the most demanding of areas before rolling it out in many high circulation areas. Altro has revisited four years on and found that the time and cost savings associated with adhesive-free floors have continued well beyond the initial installation.

Altro Ensemble™ modular flooring has been used throughout a new development of 21 modern, sustainable holiday homes; part of a new ‘eco’ hotel complex in Thuringia, Germany. The chalet-style, solid wood accommodation has been built with high-quality natural materials, and sustainably equipped as part of an ecological construction project. The build, including the interior design, required sustainable materials, sourced from local companies, helping to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint by keeping delivery miles low. This local supply chain also helped to contribute to the environmental balance of the hotel’s construction.
