Comfort, Feel and Green!

One of the questions we are most often asked about is replicating the look of polished concrete. There is no doubt that this chic, minimalist, industrial tone of design has become increasingly popular in people's homes as well as commercial spaces; so we have focussed on replicating the look of polished concrete, but with the advantageous properties of resin.

The physical properties of polished concrete for residential projects is particularly problematic. Its unforgivingly hard nature makes it cold and hard underfoot, and its complete inelasticity destins it for cracking. This is why we developed a soft, flexible, warm range of polyurethane resins that gives you the best of both worlds - the look of polished concrete with the benefits of poured resin. 

Another advantage of Sphere8 resin over polished concrete is the almost unending range of colours available to you. A Sphere8 resin floor can come in any colour you like! Whether you’re after a more traditional subtle grey blend of pigments to imitate a more traditional polished concrete, or a bright neon pink shade to add a pop of colour to your space, we have you covered! More importantly, we can colour match to almost anything, so you don't have to compromise at all.

One of the other key advantages of resin over polished concrete is the environmental benefits. Since polished concrete contains high levels of cement (one of the most energy intensive materials on the planet), for many of us now, moving away from unsustainable materials and products is becoming an inherent part of our lives. Our resin is derived from plant oils and as such is far less exhaustive on the planet. Furthermore, our BrecciaSphere Lite range incorporates 100% recycled plastic shred into the flooring finish, giving you the peace of mind that you not only are reducing energy intensivity on the environment, but you are also helping reduce the plastic problem currently facing the world. Comfort, feel and green - win win!
