NatraTex, BituChem’s
leading material, has been used to create footpaths, roads and driveways in
many residential areas, including a recent development in Cholsey, Oxfordshire.
The new housing estate, launching this winter, is an
exclusive development of two, three and four bedroom houses built by Linden
Homes at Meadow View just one mile from Cholsey village. To complement the
beautiful surroundings, BituChem’s NatraTex Cotswold was specified for the
roads and pedestrian footpaths.
NatraTex 10mm Cotswold was applied to create attractive and
hard-wearing new roads and pathways around the estate. The material works with
the colours of the newly built houses and also provides a smooth durable
surface for residents.
NatraTex
Cotswold is hard-wearing and versatile and offers the same durable,
high-performance qualities as traditional asphalt technology. The material has
been designed to withstand the everyday use from pedestrians and light vehicles
and is created using a specialist clear synthetic binder and
naturally-occurring, coloured aggregates to offer a fully compact finish.
Once applied, NatraTex is virtually maintenance-free and
maintains its colour for a long-lasting finish. The smooth surface is also much
safer than other alternatives as it is resistant to cracks and potholes
preventing any trip hazards.
NatraTex is also available in a variety of colours and
finishes, including gravel and red, under the NatraTex Colour range. NatraTex
is not a resin bound or bonded product, it is an asphalt surface course with
similar characteristics to conventional macadam and installed at the same depth
and same sub layers (base and binder course). NatraTex Cotswold is manufactured
and supplied to surfacing contractors.
This results in a cost-effective and multipurpose surfacing
material which is perfect for highways, footpaths, cycleways, playgrounds or
domestic use.
NatraTex can be used for new construction, overlays or
regeneration projects and is very environmentally friendly. It is fast and easy
to install, making it a particularly popular choice for housing developments
and projects with limited timescales.
BituChem has developed a
NatraTex heavy duty option for areas that form a part of a main road or see
increased vehicle activity and also NatraTex ColdLay, a quick repair product
for use in small areas such as bollard replacements or small utility reinstatements.
