Investing in an Altro product is an investment in a complete system — a full range of accessories, including adhesives, color coordinated weld rods, sealants, nosings, trims, and moldings are available.

Take advantage of the company’s in-house kit cutting services. Altro’s fabrication team produces turnkey kits to your exact specifications. The pre-made kits make it much easier for you to install the flooring, especially on large complex buses.
