Case Study: D E Floors Ltd Altro XpressLay Commercial Safety Flooring Installation

Project Overview

At D E Floors Ltd, we recently completed the supply and installation of Altro XpressLay safety flooring in the bar and toilet areas of a busy, operational pub. The project required a quick turnaround to minimise disruption to the venue’s operations. Altro XpressLay in the colour ‘Tundra’ was selected for its adhesive-free, sustainable properties and rapid installation capabilities, making it the ideal solution for high-traffic commercial environments with tight schedules.

Scope of Work

Minimal Subfloor Preparation

Thanks to Altro XpressLay’s adhesive-free technology, the subfloor required only minimal preparation, significantly reducing the time and complexity of the installation process. 

• Reduced preparation time meant less downtime for the business.

• The product’s loose-lay nature allowed quick access to underlying services post-installation.

Installation of Altro XpressLay Flooring

• Efficient Installation – The flooring was installed in half the time of a traditional safety flooring system, maximising convenience for the client.

• Heat-Welded Joints – All joints were professionally heat welded, ensuring a seamless, hygienic, and durable finish.

• Colour Coordination – The ‘Tundra’ shade was carefully chosen by our client to complement the pubs interior.

The Outcome

The result was a high-performance, durable, and sustainable flooring solution that met both the practical and aesthetic needs of the pub. The use of Altro XpressLay provided the client with:

• A time- and cost-efficient installation.

• A fully recyclable flooring product, aligning with sustainability goals.

• Lifetime slip resistance, ensuring ongoing safety in wet and high-traffic areas.

• Easy removal and reinstallation, allowing future access to essential subfloor services without damage.

D E Floors Ltd once again delivered a flooring solution that combined speed, safety, sustainability, and style – all without interrupting day-to-day business.
