Flooring manufacturer Altro has launched Altro XpressLay — safety flooring that can be installed without the use of adhesive.

Altro XpressLay is the first safety floor that can be installed using tape rather than traditional contact adhesive. This makes it quick and easy to fit; it can be laid over existing surfaces such as vinyl tiles or flaky painted floors, helping to save the time, cost and disruption associated with removing the existing subfloor.

As adhesive is not required, XpressLay is ideal for retailers where regular refurbishments are neccessary.

The profiled underside means that Altro XpressLay can be used on fresh concrete sub floors up to 97 per cent relative humidity, meaning there is no need to wait for a new sub floor to reach 75 per cent RH, nor is there any need to apply a surface damp-proof membrane.

Altro XpressLay also considers the environment; with up to 10 per cent recycled material content, it is also 100 per cent recyclable.

Altro XpressLay can be used in temporary installations, and then re-used elsewhere.

Achieving a slip resistance of R10, Altro XpressLay offers protection against slips and trips.
