Durabella Biopolymer Terrazzo

The beauty and richness of traditional Terrazzo (originally invented by the Romans), but enhanced with today's latest technologies, form a unique flooring system. Durabella has exceptional characteristics in terms of appearance, aesthetics, and durability. Durabella is a decorative floor finish made from a colored bio-based binder and mixed into a matrix of marble, glass, and other natural materials. After finishing, the natural beauty of the aggregates in a colored environment becomes visible to obtain a beautiful, durable, and flexible Terrazzo.

Maintenance

Regularly dust and, if necessary, wet clean with a neutral detergent. For further instructions, see the maintenance manual.

Sustainability

Duracryl produces flooring based on natural and renewable materials. This has a significant advantage regarding climate change compared to fossil-based products.

For the accountability of the carbon footprint impact of each flooring product, we use the definition from the “Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design” in New York, a leading authority in this field.

“Currently, there is no universal threshold for ‘low embodied carbon’ in flooring materials. After discussing this research with experts, we have established a rigorous standard that can meet 2030 emission goals. These products, labeled ‘LEC’, embody less than 5kg of CO2 per square meter.”

All Duracryl products meet this standard and are called “Climate Positive Flooring.”.

Composition

Durabella is made from various components based on a specially modified binder, marble aggregates, and/or natural stones. Durabella Biopolymer is made from vegetable oil and is Red List Free. Durabella is a flexible terrazzo and offers 40% better sound absorption compared to traditional epoxy terrazzo.

Application

Durabella Seamless Terrazzo is an aesthetic, seamless, wear-resistant finish for areas with heavy traffic. Suitable for both new construction and renovation (10-18mm) projects. Durabella is therefore often used in public buildings such as shopping malls, hotels, receptions, restaurants, convention centers, airports, banks, offices, hospitals, entrance halls, stations, public areas, etc.

Appearance

Duracem has a unique look determined by the recycled material inside. Duracem has 12 different concrete finishes. It is finished with a matte look. Duracem is tough-elastic and offers excellent resistance to signs of wear and tear. Once fully cured, Duracem is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, alkalis, resins, solvents, and foodstuffs. Duracem is seamless and liquid-tight. The majority of the ingredients in Duracem are renewable resources. Duracem is free of plasticizers. Duracem is easy to maintain.

Look and feel

Duracem is walkable 24 hours after the installation. The complete chemical and mechanical properties will be achieved after 7 days of curing at a minimum temperature of 15°C.

Design

Regularly remove dust and, if necessary, clean with a damp cloth and a neutral cleaning agent. For further instructions, see the maintenance guide.
