It's primarily designed for busy commercial and public environments where safety, durability, and quick installation are important. Common applications include retail stores, schools, universities, hospitals, care homes, offices, corridors, canteens, and social housing projects. It's particularly useful for refurbishments where minimising downtime is critical.

The main benefits include extremely fast adhesive-free installation, reduced downtime and disruption, excellent sustained slip resistance (PTV ≥36), high durability for heavy traffic, good impact sound reduction (14dB), easy maintenance and hygiene, suitability for installation over damp subfloors (up to 97% RH), and easy removal for reuse or recycling.

Altro XpressLay is an innovative type of safety vinyl sheet flooring manufactured by Altro.

It offers high durability and sustained slip resistance (PTV ≥36).

In many cases, yes. Altro XpressLay can often be laid over existing resilient flooring like vinyl or linoleum, provided the existing floor is smooth, sound, and well-adhered. However, a professional assessment of the subfloor and existing flooring is crucial to ensure suitability. It cannot be laid directly over carpet or carpet tiles.
