Ttura 'Flooring screed'
Re-cycled glass and resin flooring screed
‘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 easily laid as a screed, giving a totally seamless finish, without any need for separate expansion joints.
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.’
