ALTRO’S MODULAR FLOORING SYSTEM
GIVES TOP UNIVERSITY A TOUCH OF CLASS
The Altro Ensemble modular flooring system is
providing Cardi University with an attractive,
modern and flexible way to create stunning
interiors with limitless design options.
Cardi University has fitted wood-e ect Altro
Ensemble LVTs in the reception area and ground
floor corridors of its Business School, as part of a
refurbishment that was designed and managed by
WSP. The new ‘Opportunities Zone’ is designed to
appeal to students from home and abroad, and the
aim for project managers was to create a modern,
stylish space that would be easy to maintain and
stand the test of time.
MICROSOFT PORTUGAL ‘WATERBLADED’
We are thrilled that on
top of our UK success
our international sales
continue to grow,
saving water and energy
globally.
We posted a sample
on the 9th. They gave us
very positive feedback on
the 20th and they have
now rolled it out.
Nigel at Waterblade
says: ‘‘Its really
straightforward, firstly, we
send you a sample to fit
(in minutes), establish compatibility and assess.
“Secondly, we provide you with whatever product and case study data is
required to complete your business
case. (A ROI of under 6 months.)
“Thirdly, fit to all the washroom
basins.’’
The Waterblade is easy to fit and
WRAS approved.

Peter Bourne, Architectural Projects O icer for
Campus Development at Cardi University, said:
“The vision for the new Opportunities Zone was
a space that was stylish, visually striking and
innovative, using modern materials and building
concepts. The flooring played a key role in this and
I was aware that LVTs could provide both the visual
and practical surface we needed. We have a good
and longstanding relationship with Altro, and have
used their products throughout the campus, so we
were confident that quality was guaranteed.”
Altro Ensemble modular flooring system is the
next generation of luxury vinyl tiles. From colour
blocking to geometric patterns, with a range of
plank and tile sizes and textures,
Altro Ensemble is 2.6mm thick with a 0.55mm
wear layer, 15dB sound reduction qualities and
added comfort underfoot, with minimal residual
indentation and excellent durability. A truly
exceptional material, it combines these features
with unique flexibility and is lightweight, making it
easy to transport, cut and handle for installation.
“A natural timber look always appeals, providing
a warmth, quality and style that can really raise a
space above the ordinary and make it accessible
to everyone. Real wood, of course, would have
been prohibitively expensive and impractical, but
Altro’s modular LVTs enabled us to achieve this feel
and move away from the alternative sheet vinyl,”
continues Peter.
“Aside from the obvious aesthetics and design
options that the LVTs gave us, the practical o ering
was also very compelling. The modular structure
of the flooring means that if there is any damage
to the flooring it the future we can simply replace
that plank, rather than the entire floor. It’s also
a thick flooring, which means reduced noise and
indentation and it’s very comfortable to walk on.
“We want to continue to appeal to both
international and UK students, so the Business
School has to be a cut above. Altro’s LVTs have
met this need perfectly and enabled us to create a
space that will look superb long into the future.”

HOCHIKI EUROPE PROVIDES STATE OF THE
ART LIFE SAFETY PLATFORM FOR JARDINE
MOTORS SHOWROOM
A new £5 million car showroom in
Tonbridge, Kent owned by the Jardine
Motors Group is utilising L@titude – a
state-of-the-art fire alarm control
panel produced by leading life safety
system manufacturer, Hochiki Europe.
Needing a control and indication
system which would link its various
detectors, L@titude was specified
due to its ultra-reliability, flexibility,
accessibility and sleek design. Hochiki
Europe designed the panel to maximise usability and ease of operation so
maintenance teams can instantly locate safety breaches in real-time from any
location. The product also has a 10,000 capacity event log and up to 144 zone
indicators.
To further support Jardine Motors, the Hochiki team worked closely with
the facilities manager, Roger Dawkins,
at the Tonbridge showroom, giving him
a guided tour around its cutting-edge
manufacturing plant.
Jardine Motors is currently exploring
the roll out of L@titude across all its
showrooms nationwide thanks to the
initial success.
