Sphere8 & EPI Surfaces- Corestone Nature
EPI Corestone Nature delivered by Sphere8, is a breakthrough system in sustainable surface design, offering the concrete look and feel that so many clients desire, without the environmental impact typically associated with cement-based products.

Traditional concrete and microcement floors are known for their industrial aesthetic but come with a heavy carbon footprint due to the principal binder being cement. Cement production contributes 8% of global CO2 emissions. Corestone Nature challenges this as a cement-free microcement alternative, providing the same look and feel of the refined concrete aesthetic, while significantly reducing environmental impact and offering a genuinely low-impact solution to a high-demand finish.

This system is made with our sustainable plant polymer oil resin and mixed with natural quartz. Quartz is a hard, durable and weather resistant material composed of silicon and oxygen, and one of the most abundant minerals on earth. Plant based resins are made from castor oil which is a renewable source. We have utilised materials with far lower carbon emissions, and in doing so, created a more sustainable flooring solution that still guarantees performance and durability.
