Sphere8 launches EPI's QuartzR
Imagine ‘micro-cement’ but without the cement. Why? Cement is one of the world's most energy intensive materials to produce so it makes sense to limit its use. Micro-cement surfaces have exploded in popularity over recent years, so the logical evolution of our product range was to re-invent this ‘concrete butter’ without the cement-based binder.
The binder is a water-based biopolymer, reinforced with graded quartz rock and sand to give an ultra-tough, grippy surface resembling trowelled stone or concrete. Available in a wide range of colours, including custom colours for larger projects, the material is suited for floors, walls and as a joinery covering.
Water based, stable under UV light and low shrinkage it can be used over most surfaces including tiles, stone, plywood/MDF and joinery, offering a new ‘mineral skin’ with exceptional abrasion resistance and a beautiful concrete look.
Being a hand applied system, various smooth, pitted, striated, grainy or polished effects can be created.
