Altro Whiterock Satins wall range has an exciting new palette, with a wealth of colour options to promote creativity in any environment, developed in collaboration with prominent figures and leading thinkers in inclusive design. Whether you need light, or warmth, calm tones, or rich hues there is something for you.
The refreshed wall range has a collection of subtle off-white shades and tonal colours, each of which has specific qualities to meet the needs of people with different sensitivities. Altro has collaborated with designers and architects to ensure a wide array of Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) and Chroma values in its floor and wall combinations, providing an extensive selection. This considered thought gives you confidence that the LRV levels are correct in our flooring options when and where it matters.
Maria Luigia Assirelli, Director, Mental Health & Social Value Lead at Floyd Slaski Architects Ltd, comments: “Altro’s launch of the new range of colours in Altro Whiterock Satins offers architects and interior designers enhanced design flexibility, combining tonal colours and chroma references to create soothing and visually relaxing healthcare environments.”
Stephanie Kyle, Architect & Inclusive Design Consultant, Maber Architects, says: “Colour intensity can be difficult for some designers to recognise so having the chroma values to support colour choices, in the same way Light Reflectance Values assist with contrast, will hopefully improve accessibility for people who have a visual processing difference or are more sensitive to visual stimuli.”
This versatile and sophisticated wall cladding is available in a range of solid, decorative shades – from new soothing Spa and healing Hessian, through to fresh Flint and original, organic Orchard, which matches Watercress, one of Pantones’ top ten standout colours for 2024, bringing ‘a refreshing peppery green with a sprightly presence.’
Altro Whiterock Satins wall panels seamlessly merge elegance with practicality, offering both a striking feature wall and a hygienic solution for entire rooms such as spa rooms, creating a relaxing oasis with biophilic properties.
