Ttura 'Floor tiles'
Re-cycled glass and resin floor tiles
‘TTURA is an attractive, durable material which consists typically of 85% recycled glass, including previously 'difficult' waste from consumer, building and automotive waste streams. Combined with a solvent-free resin, this makes TTURA more sympathetic to the environment and reduces application hazards.
TTURA can be cast as tiles or in sheet form, incorporating designs, logos or text as integral elements that remain visible throughout the life of the product. Furthermore, should any subsequent alterations be required, the results are virtually undetectable.
The surface can be controlled, from a simple trowelled finish to a highly polished one. The resultant finish is impervious, has high resistance to UV rays and chemical resistance to oils, petrol, diesel, alcohol, urine, dilute acids and alkalis.
TTURA can be formed into tactile surfaces for the visually impaired, and architectural features, allowing design and colour themes to be extended through an entire project.’
