First class wall cladding for schools, offices and high traffic areas.


Many public sector projects involve high traffic areas where hard wearing, easily maintained wall cladding is essential – school corridors and classrooms, for instance, where non-stop action can give the surfaces a daily battering. We offer a wide range of solutions. Altro Fortis™ uPVC sheets offer enhanced protection from impact and scuff damage to maintain their appearance and reduce maintenance costs. They’re ideal for walls, corners and doors. Altro Fortis™ is available in ten colours, which complement and colour match Altro Whiterock™- a hygienic wall cladding system certified to all EU hygiene standards and ideal for areas where hygiene is of paramount importance such as school and office kitchens and canteens. The entire Altro Whiterock™ collection is available through this website

Perfect for public sector toilets, washrooms and changing rooms

What about the school lockers and toilet cubicles? Well if you're looking for laminate and compact you've come to the right place. We only stock the best solutions from the biggest brands in the industry and if you can't find it, we'll get it for you! That's why we're number 1 for laminates.

Polyrey’s Washroom Collection is a perfect choice for the public sector - school toilets and changing rooms for instance - with a choice of compact, laminate and MR MFC products in extensive colourways to deliver a cost effective solution. Sanitized® antibacterial protection comes as standard, as does a protective coating for longevity. The Reysitop compact collection features PROTECT+™ technology to provide increased impact and wear resistance in both vertical and horizontal applications including high usage furniture and includes a range designed specifically for lockers. A digital print option enables all these surfaces to be branded with images, school or council crests, mottos or slogans – very useful in this sector. Compliance is ensured, too: FSC® and PEFC™ certification is available (subject to product) along with LRVs to ensure compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act
