Altro Aquarius Terrapin

Altro Aquarius Terrapin is a medium beige sheet vinyl with a speckled texture and professional-grade slip resistance. The R11 anti-slip rating keeps feet secure even in wet areas. It’s waterproof, so spills and splashes won’t damage the surface or seep beneath.

This is a working vinyl for practical rooms. Kitchens, bathrooms, wet areas and commercial spaces all suit it. The 2mm thickness strikes a balance between durability and comfort underfoot, and it handles heavy traffic without showing wear.

Within the Altro Aquarius range, Terrapin sits at the practical end of the colour palette. Its neutral tone works with most décor schemes and doesn’t show dirt as quickly as lighter options.

Where it works

Bathrooms, kitchens, WCs and light commercial settings. The waterproof finish and anti-slip grip are built for these damp, high-traffic spaces. Altro Vinyl Flooring across the range is tested for public and private wet areas alike.

Installation

Glue down to a dry, level subfloor. Underlay is not required. The vinyl sits well over concrete and wooden substrates when properly prepared.

Underfloor heating

Terrapin is compatible with underfloor heating systems. No special preparation is needed. Install as normal and run your heating at standard settings.

Looking after it

Daily cleaning is simple. Sweep or vacuum to remove dust, then mop with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The waterproof surface won’t absorb moisture, so spillages wipe away easily. In commercial settings, it shrugs off heavy cleaning with bleach-based products when needed.

Altro backs Terrapin with a 10-year warranty in commercial use and 10 years for domestic applications, reflecting its build quality and durability.
