FAQs
Can you repair Altro Crete flooring?
Yes, Altro Crete flooring can be fixed. If it gets damaged, it’s best to reach out to a certified installer for help. They will check the damage, clean the area, and apply a repair material to make the floor look good and work well again. This keeps the floor safe and durable, maintaining its slip and chemical resistance.
What is the best way to clean Altro Crete flooring?
To keep Altro Crete flooring in top shape, regularly clean with a scrubber dryer to remove debris and prevent buildup. In dirtier areas or where hygiene is key, use a low-pressure washer or scrubber vacuum. For steam-resistant floors, steam cleaning ensures thorough sanitization.

Can you lay Altro Crete flooring over tiles?
Yes, you can install Altro Crete flooring over existing tiles if they are stable, well-attached, and the surface is prepared right. Start by cleaning the tiles well to remove any grease, oils, or dirt, and you might need to roughen the surface to help it stick better. It’s a good idea to talk to a professional or the Altro service team to check if the tiled surface is ready and ensure the flooring lasts and performs well.
