Every tile tells a story about a place in Britain. From the highlands of Scotland to the moors of Devon, the dales of Derbyshire to the valleys of Wales, the story of the British Landscape is told through terrazzo.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
With the advent of our low carbon cement technology, terrazzo has the potential to be the ultimate circular construction product, providing architects and designers with the opportunity to upcycle materials from old buildings and repurpose them into new terrazzo surfaces!<\/p>
By reusing materials from buildings designated for demolition or upgrade, not only can an enormous amount of CO2 waste be prevented, but the story and character of the old building can be brought into the new. The built environment offers a veritable treasure trove of materials just waiting to be reused \u2013 from glass to metals, concrete, stone, bricks and even timber \u2013 all kinds of materials can be repurposed and re-incorporated!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With delays at the ports, haulage costs at record highs, and embodied carbon being imported into the UK in the millions of tonnes; something has to change.<\/p>
The solution needed to be homegrown. Here in the UK, we\u2019re not as good as our continental friends at producing marble on a large scale, but we are excellent at making aggregates \u2013 gravel or stone chippings to you and me, which are used for building roads and houses. It also happens that if you wash and polish these aggregates, they transform into beautiful lustrous surfaces, rich in colour and character.<\/p>
So the idea for an exclusively UK-sourced aggregate terrazzo was born.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
