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

Durastone is a pure blend of biopolymer and natural aggregates providing a flexible and sustainable floor. Durastone comes in standard polished concrete colors and in a collection of marble colors. Special colors on request. Durastone is Red List Free and BREEAM and LEED certified.

Application

Durastone is a thin-set resilient floor finish and is seamlessly applied on large areas without joints. Durastone is hardwearing and highly resistant to heavy traffic in areas like shops, restaurants, and public spaces.

Appearance

Durastone Flexible Polished Floors is a robust and strong floor finish which comes in two versions, the elegant looks of fine grit terrazzo or the industrial appearance of polished concrete. The density of the aggregates may vary since it is randomly applied.

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

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