At Safety Direct Group, we supply and install Altro safety flooring for commercial, industrial and public-sector environments across the UK.
We work across commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, schools, leisure centres, industrial environments and other high-risk areas across the UK, including specialist ranges designed for wet, greasy and high-footfall areas. We can also provide post-installation slip resistance testing where required.
As specialist Altro flooring suppliers, we can help you choose the most suitable flooring system for your environment and supply the correct product as part of a complete installation service.
If you’re looking for Altro flooring and need help choosing the right product for your environment, our team can manage the project from product specification and preparation through to professional fitting. We work with ranges including Altro Stronghold, Altro Walkway, Altro Aquarius and Altro ContraX, specifying each product according to the slip risk, hygiene requirements and intended use of the space.
Choosing the right flooring depends on how the space is used, the level of slip risk and the conditions the floor will be exposed to. Below, we’ve outlined the key differences between the main Altro flooring options to help you identify the most suitable solution.
Altro Stronghold: Designed for demanding environments where grease, oil and water are common, such as commercial kitchens and food preparation areas, offering Altro’s highest level of slip resistance.
Altro Walkway: A general-purpose safety flooring option for busy commercial areas where regular water spillages may occur, combining slip resistance with durability and easy maintenance.
Altro Aquarius: Specifically designed for wet areas used both barefoot and with footwear, making it well suited to showers, bathrooms, changing rooms, spas and similar environments.
Altro ContraX: A cost-effective safety flooring option for busy general-purpose areas where spillages are a concern and reliable slip resistance is required without the need for a more specialist flooring system.
We provide a complete flooring service, from helping you choose the appropriate product through to preparation and professional fitting.
Our service can include:
Whether you already have a product specified or need support choosing one, we can manage the project from start to finish.
Altro safety flooring is widely used in environments where slip resistance, hygiene and durability are important.
Altro manufactures flooring specifically for environments where slips are a significant risk, with different ranges developed for water, grease, oil and barefoot use.
The range includes products suitable for kitchens, healthcare settings, schools, leisure facilities, retail environments and industrial spaces.
Many products combine durable surfaces with hygiene-focused features, helping businesses maintain safer and easier-to-clean environments.
Rather than relying on one general-purpose solution, the range allows flooring to be selected around the specific conditions of the space.
We’re experienced in installing the full Altro product family. Below are some of the most commonly specified ranges we work with:
The most widely used Altro safety floor and a popular choice across a broad range of settings, from retail and commercial kitchens to clinics, nurseries, and schools. ContraX is a 2mm, R10-rated, impermeable PVC vinyl with EasyClean surface technology and built-in bacteriostatic protection. It achieves a PTV of 36 or above, placing it firmly in the low slip risk category.
Designed specifically for environments exposed to grease, oil, and fats, Altro Stronghold 30 is the highest-rated floor in the Altro range — achieving PTV ≥55 and an R12 classification. At 3mm thick, it also reduces staff fatigue and provides noise reduction underfoot. It carries a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee and is the go-to choice for commercial kitchens and food production environments.
A versatile safety floor designed for high-footfall areas where water is the primary slip hazard, including corridors, entrance lobbies, retail spaces, and educational buildings. Walkway 20 achieves R10/R11 slip resistance and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes to suit modern interior schemes.
Specifically developed for wet and barefoot environments, Altro Aquarius achieves a PTV of 50 or above and holds a DIN 51097 Class B barefoot classification. It’s the preferred solution for bathrooms, shower rooms, changing facilities, hospital wards, and spa areas – combining high-performance slip resistance with excellent hygiene properties.
Altro flooring is trusted across a wide range of sectors, and our installation teams have hands-on experience working in all of them:
Verify Your Floor’s Safety with Post-Installation Slip Testing
For higher-risk or regulated environments, post-installation slip resistance testing can provide additional assurance that the finished floor is performing as expected.
We offer a professional slip resistance testing service using UKAS-calibrated pendulum equipment, carried out to BS EN 16165:2021
Testing can provide a documented PTV reading for health and safety records, insurance requirements and duty-of-care documentation.
This can be particularly valuable in healthcare, food service, leisure and public-sector environments.
Safety Direct Group provides specialist Altro flooring supply and installation from our base in Devon, with projects completed across the South West and throughout the UK.
We work with commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, schools, leisure environments, hospitality businesses and other commercial sites requiring durable and slip-resistant flooring.

Really impressed by how efficient and friendly the team were. Our tiles not only look better but are now non-slip, which gives real peace of mind. Great value too!

Top-notch service, it was treated with care and importance. Everything was handled smoothly, and the results speak for themselves.

Fantastic service – quick response, clear quote, and the work was done the very next day. The difference is noticeable, and we feel much safer walking on our tiles now.

I dealt with Ollie, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. Even though they usually handle big commercial jobs, he made my small domestic job feel just as important. Great service from start to finish!
