Altro explained: “Whichever option you choose, Altro Illustra is engineered to offer superior slip resistance, minimising the risk of accidents. It comes with our ‘One in a Million’ slip risk for life guarantee – proven sustained slip-resistance for the life of the floor. It also provides excellent underfoot protection, even in wet and high-traffic areas.”
The flooring is available in three distinct pattern groups with visual textures to bring depth to designs: natural stones, modern textiles, and muted minerals. Altro says these ‘offer a harmonious blend of style and functionality with nature-inspired textures and softness to help create and enhance feeling of wellbeing within spaces’.
