Altro Aquarius™ product datasheetSafety flooring engineered for wet environments

discover altro.com/aquarius

Altro Aquarius was developed for lasting performance in wet and dry environments, shoes or barefoot. This 2mm safety floor has been extensively tested on a variety of shoe types (and bare feet) to ensure peak performance in a host of environments – bathrooms, changing areas, pool surrounds. Anywhere you can expect a combination of wet and dry floors.

Altro Easyclean technology puts this range at the forefront of safety floor cleanability.

Altro Aquarius also looks great paired with Altro Walkway 20, Altro Wood, Altro Symphonia or Altro Operetta.

Typical applications

Bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, swimming pool surrounds, saunas

Features + benefits

• Optimum slip resistance in wet and dry environments, shoes or barefoot

• Achieves R11 slip resistance rating and SCoF of .88 dry, 1.03 wet

• Extensively tested on a variety of shoe types to ensure top performance

• Ideal for bathrooms, showers, changing areas and pool surrounds

• Pairs with select Altro Walkway 20 colors for seamless coordination from wet rooms to general areas

• FloorScore Certified / Low VOCs

Slip resistance

It is designers, specifiers and end users’ responsibility to ensure flooring is fit for purpose, and it’s part of our role here at Altro to help make this process easy. Our flooring is separated into three categories: safety, slip-resistant and smooth.

Altro Aquarius is safety flooring. It’s a perfect choice where water, shampoo and soap contaminants are present. Altro Aquarius maintains its slip resistance in these conditions with barefeet or while wearing shoes. Because of this, Altro Aquarius is commonly installed in showers, bathing areas and pool sur-rounds.

Altro Easyclean

Rather than using a superficial surface coat, Altro Easyclean Technology is incorporated into the flooring while it is being manufactured. This allows Altro flooring to benefit from enhanced cleaning and maintenance while still allowing our products’ slip resistant properties to shine through.

Smooth flooring will have a higher level of Altro Easyclean than a slip-resistant or safety floor.

• Industry-leading ease of cleaning

• Enhanced long-term cleanability

• Cleaning and maintenance cost savings

• Sustained long-term slip resistance

• Exceptional long-term durability

• Low dirt pick-up qualities

• Improved color retention

Installation quickfacts for safety and slip-resistant flooring

Substrate preparation

• Patching materials used on the substrate must be Portland-cement based

patching compound. Gypsum-based compounds and/or silicate-based

admixes and sprays are unsuitable.

• Moisture-tolerant patching and leveling compounds must be used in wet

environments.

• Concrete surface pH should not exceed 9.9 alkalinity.

• Conduct moisture tests per ASTM F2170 on all concrete slabs regardless

of age or grade level. Relative humidity tests must not exceed 90% RH.

Test results are only indicators of current moisture conditions at the time of

testing and do not predict future moisture conditions.

• All concrete on or below grade must have a fully functioning and intact sub-

slab moisture vapor barrier.

• Substrate should be smooth, clean and dry.

• Do not use markers, pens, construction crayons, tapes or paints on the

subfloor. This may bleed through and cause permanent staining.

• Follow all applicable local, state and federal regulations and laws pertaining

to saw cutting, grinding and patching work of concrete; all work is to

comply with OSHA 3902 Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard.

Acclimatizing material

• HVAC at job site must be operational prior to installation.

• Set HVAC at 68°F / 20°C for 72 hours prior to installation.

• Rolls should be kept standing upright in a secure location to prevent

toppling over for a minimum of 72 hours at 68°F / 20°C.

• HVAC should remain at 68°F / 20°C before, during and 72 hours after

installation.

Fitting / laying

• Material should be checked for defects, unmatched dye lots, etc. If a fault

has been found, do not proceed. Warranty claims against defective material

will only be considered if the flooring has not yet been permanently bonded.

Installation quickfacts should not replace Altro’s complete installation and maintenance library. For indepth information, Installation and Maintenance guides are available online at altro.com/techdocs
