Ttura 'Sheeting'
Solid surface / composite worktop sheeting 30mm thick
TTURA is made up of thousands of chunks/fragments of recycled glass. These can be coloured or clear or both, and are bonded together with a specially developed solvent free resin which can be made up in any colour imaginable...Thus acheiving an infinite range of possibilities...
Once these have been mixed and poured into bespoke moulds, the TTURA is allowed to cure before being diamond polished in the same way as marble and granite.
As well as diverting the waste glass from land fill, TTURA offers a contemporary alternative to quaried stone and the lifeless plastic work surfaces. TTURA also offers a unique polished surface with real depth in a limitless colour range.
With a durable, hygienic and easy-to-clean finish, TTURA is well suited to work surface applications.
Casting surfaces as 'large tiles' provides specifiers with total size control.
Examples of the versatility of TTURA include contract and domestic table tops or concourse furniture which can be co-ordinated to TTURA flooring.’
