Sometimes healthcare environments can’t accommodate everyone’s needs. In specifying safety floors, there is often confusion about whether to plan for shoe or barefoot use. In patient-assisted bathrooms, hydrotherapy areas, and changing/locker rooms, for instance, the floor needs to work for both barefoot patients and their soled caregivers. With Altro Aquarius by Altro, healthcare venues get the best of both worlds, since the flooring is designed for wet and dry use and shoe and barefoot use.

Healthcare Flooring for Wet and Dry, Barefoot and Shoe Use

Providing optimum slip resistance in wet and dry environments, Altro Aquarius is really a technological breakthrough: “This innovation revolutionizes product selection… It takes away the uncertainty of how and where to specify and install safety flooring for mixed barefoot and shoe use.” From sneakers to hard-soled shoes, bare feet to trainers, Aquarius keeps patients and caregivers safe.

Available in twelve colors, both neutrals and cool hues, Altro Aquarius offers safety and beauty underfoot. The flooring also includes Altro Maxis Easyclean PUR technology, which offers excellent resistance to stains and chemicals. Additionally, Aquarius helps prevent water penetration.
