Altro Whiterock

Hygienic PVC sheet wall cladding system that eliminates grout lines, the primary bacterial harbouring point in tiled wet rooms. Sheets are bonded directly to the substrate and welded at joints to create a fully sealed, easy-clean surface. The range includes colour-matched trims, internal and external corners, and service penetration fittings.

Why care homes use this

The upfront cost premium typically pays back within five years through reduced cleaning time and maintenance.
