Design, Safety and Practicality with Transflor
Looking to streamline installation and save on waste, all while taking your bus design from normal to next level? Altro’s logo and kit cutting service is the solution you’ve been looking for. From a flash of colour to a marked out area for safety, our cutting service can help you realise any design idea, and simplify your installation in the process.
Using a CAD drawing of your vehicle our in-house cutting technology will map out the required pieces in the most economical way to minimise waste and deliver your desired floor in pre-cut pieces ready for installation.
Accessibility for All with Altro Transflor
For those who have disabilities, be those mental or physical, the prospect of using public transport can be a daunting but often necessary one.
Without the use of their own car or a friend, family member or carer to drive them, many vulnerable people rely on their local bus service to get them to the shops, to their healthcare appointments, or even just to see friends. A local bus service becomes more than just a means for getting around, but the key to battling loneliness and maintaining good health.
With this in mind, it is paramount that we ensure that all our buses are as safe and inclusive as possible.
Reflect on Colour Choice
Pairing different colours together can either help or hinder the accessibility of your design, depending on where they are used. Two contrasting colours with a difference in light reflectance values of more than 30 are great for highlighting a hazard, such as a step or a wheel arch, to help those with visual impairments navigate the vehicle safely. Conversely, however, designs that incorporate contrasting colours across the floor can cause confusion, as the stark change from dark to light can look like a drop, step or hole in the floor where there is none.
Surface Value
The surface look of your chosen floor is also important. A finish which is too shiny or glossy may appear wet or slippery and cause nervousness to those unsteady on their feet. A reliable safety credential is also important. We recommend that you look for a pendulum test result of 36 or higher to rest safe in the knowledge that your passengers’ risk of slipping is one in a million.
