Working out the price of Altro Whiterock wall cladding
Altro Whiterock is a hygienic wall cladding system made from high-quality PVCu.

You’ll see it most often in commercial kitchens, hospitals, food processing areas, changing rooms, laboratories, education settings, and other environments with strict compliance requirements.

Key factors affecting Altro Whiterock cost in the UK
Types of Altro Whiterock wall cladding
Altro Whiterock is available in several systems with different finishes, colour options and performance characteristics. Which one you choose has the biggest impact on total cost.
White Altro Whiterock
The most widely used type of Altro Whiterock wall cladding is the classic white variety. This system offers a clean, bright, hygienic surface with excellent impact resistance. Its gloss finish is easy to clean and suitable for almost any commercial or industrial environment where hygiene is essential.
- Choose when: You need a reliable, cost-effective hygienic solution
- Popular for: Kitchens, healthcare facilities, schools
- Typical cost: £60–£90 per m²
Altro Whiterock Satins
This range offers the same hygienic performance as the classic white system but with softer, more decorative colour options. The satin finish adds warmth to spaces where comfort and aesthetics matter as much as hygiene.
- Choose when: You want a hygienic cladding system with welcoming colours
- Popular for: Care homes, hospitals, education, public washrooms
- Typical cost: £75-£110 per m²
Altro Whiterock Chameleon
High-gloss, vibrant colours create strong visual impact in public-facing settings. Chameleon panels deliver the same durability and hygiene performance as the classic range but elevate the design with bold, modern finishes.

- Popular for: Retail, leisure, hospitality, branded spaces
- Typical cost: £90-£140 per m²
Altro Whiterock Digiclad

- Choose when: You need custom graphics or brand-led wall finishes
- Popular for: Schools, leisure centres, corporate environments
- Typical cost: £110-£170 per m²
Installation complexity
Installation requirements can influence the overall cost of your Altro Whiterock installation.
Smooth, dry, level walls keep costs low. But if the substrate is damaged, uneven or still tiled, we might need to remove or overboard surfaces before fitting the panels.
The challenge also increases when areas include multiple corners, features or obstacles.
Thermoforming PVCu around corners takes time, and any cut-outs for sockets, switches or windows increase labour.
Jobs in live environments such as functioning kitchens, operating areas or healthcare spaces might also require phased or out-of-hours work.
Typical installation costs range from £20–£40 per m² depending on the amount of preparation and detail required.
