Sphere8 prides itself on bringing sustainability to an industry with high CO2 emissions, and the continued and necessary interest in environmental impact from clients has garnered interest in Sphere8’s polyurethane resin surfaces, derived from the renewable resource castor beans. Our flooring systems can be used to imitate other, highly energy intensive flooring types, such as polished concrete, tiles or microcement, for a reduced environmental impact.
The continued and necessary interest in environmental impact, highlights the importance of Sphere8’s polyurethane resin surfaces, derived from the renewable resource castor beans. Castor beans require minimal rainfall and produce a substantial volume of base oil (resin). Therefore, the energy required for its production is considerably less than that of other flooring alternatives. Concrete is the most energy intensive material on the planet and our flooring systems can be used to imitate other, highly energy intensive flooring types, such as polished concrete, tiles or microcement, without the practical and environmental downfalls.
Our BrecciaSphere Lite system has further sustainable credentials. The inclusion of recycled plastic bottle shred creates both an environmentally positive flooring solution, and a unique floor, creating a personalised surface. Reducing the global single-use plastic problem is key to this surface, as is the effect it gives: fine grained terrazzo finish, but with a reduced energy consumption required for installation.
Our EPI Corestone Nature is also a testament to Sphere8’s sustainability practices, being a cement-free, micro-cement alternative that ensures a low impact production. Instead of cement, quartz (sand) is used - one of the most abundant minerals on earth. A unique formulation, combining natural quartz and biopolymers, produces a seamless and highly durable floor finish. The result is not only environmentally conscious, but also aesthetically pleasing and built to last.
