Durastone is a pure blend of biopolymers and natural aggregates that produces a flexible and durable floor. Durastone is available in standard colours of polished concrete and in a collection of marble colours.

Special colours on request. Durastone is Red List Free and BREEAM and LEED certified. Durastone is a thin resilient floor finish and is applied to large areas seamlessly and without joints. Durastone is hard-wearing and resistant to heavy traffic areas such as shops, restaurants and public spaces. Durastone Flexible Polished Floors is a robust and strong floor finish available in two versions, the elegant look of fine-grained terrazzo or the industrial look of polished concrete. The density of the aggregates can vary as it is applied randomly.

Duracryl produces floorcoverings based on natural and renewable materials. This has a major advantage on climate change compared with fossil based products. For accountability of the impact of the carbon footprint of each flooring product we are using the definition of “Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design” in New York, a leading authority on this subject. “Currently, there is no universal threshold for ‘low embodied carbon’ in flooringmaterials. After discussing this research with experts, we have set a rigorous standard that can meet 2030 emission goals. These products, labeled with ‘LEC’, embody below 5kg of CO2 per square meter” All Duracryl products comply with this standard and are referred to as “Climate Positive Flooring”

composition

PROPERTIES

Corques is wear resistant and shows high mechanical properties. Corques is tough-elastic and shows a perfect resistance to the signs of use. After cure through Corques is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, leys, resins, solvents and foodstuff. Corques is seamless and liquid tight. The majority of the ingredients in Corques are renewable resources. Corques is free of plasticizers. Corques is easy maintainable. After many years of intensive use Corques can be re topped at a fraction of the initial costs.

cure through

Durastone is ready for foot traffic at 15°C within 24 hours. The full hardening has occurred after 7 days assuming a temperature of 15°C. After curing the floor is ground to the desired surface.

maintenance

Regular removal of dust and if necessary wet cleaning with a neutral cleaning agent. For further instructions see the maintenance instruction guide.

installation

The concrete or screed subfloor has to be primed and levelled with a self levelling smoothing compound to obtain a flat and levelled surface. Uneven surfaces have to be leveled by e.g. diamond grinding prior to the levelling compound. All dust and loose parts have to be fully removed from all surfaces before the product is applied, preferably using a brush and/ or industrial vacuum cleaner. Prior to the installation of the Durastone a suitable primer needs to be applied. During the installation the room temperature needs to be at least 62 °F (15,5°C). The floor temperature need to be at least 59 °F (15°C) and minimum 3 °F (3 °C) above the dew point.

layer thickness

The Durastone has an overall thickness of 3mm.
