Altro Fortis provides low maintenance solution for new Welsh school

Ysgol Bro Teifi is the first purpose-built Welsh-medium allthrough school built in Wales, following an investment of £25m from Ceredigion County Council and the Assembly Government.

Students range from nursery age to Year 13, and teaches children in both Welsh and English. The school opened in September 2016. As part of the build, Julian James, Managing Director at Julian James Cladding Ltd., recommended the Altro Fortis wall protection system.

Doors and plaster board walls can easily be damaged, be it

scrapes and knocks as people pass, or more serious dents and holes caused by wheeled traffic. Altro Fortis Titanium has been specifically designed to protect these surfaces.

Altro Fortis Titanium is dense, impervious and resistant to bumps. It features a lightly textured surface, which camouflages scuffs, keeping the wall area looking better for longer. Available in ten colours, the colour runs throughout, reducing the visibility of knocks or scrapes. With an impervious, easy-to-wipe surface, Altro Fortis Titanium improves cleanability which is a major advantage within its recommended application areas.

Altro Fortis Titanium corner protection provides extra protection on a wall’s vulnerable corner.

Julian James said: “Altro Fortis is quick to install and easy to

weld, just like an Altro Whiterock installation. We have installed Altro Fortis in local hospitals since the Ysgol Bro Teifi installation. Altro Fortis is great for hospitals and school as it is low maintenance solution compared to painted walls.”
