Altro Xpresslay™

Adhesive-free safety floor

The world's first ever, adhesive-free safety floor that can save you money on materials, time on installation and offers you unrivalled sustainability credentials.

Revolutionary Altro XpressLay™ is a step change in the evolution of safety flooring. It's installed using a tape system instead of adhesive, so can be installed without a surface DPM. It can be easily removed post-installation, re-used elsewhere and then at the end of its life be recycled.

The range boasts 42 colours, featuring bright and subtle, sparkle-free designs and decorative chipped options to give you a huge selection to choose from. We've also matched-up the designs with Altro Walkway enabling you to combine use of both ranges to suit the application.

We know how important it is that your floor stays looking good year after year so we've added PUR cleanability with superior chemical and stain resistance.
