FORESSO TIMBER TERRAZO

Harnessing offcuts and waste material from the timber industry, British based Foresso Timber Terrazo provide a great alternative to more the more harmful materials of quarried stone, plastics and solid surfaces used within many decorative surface finishes.

Working with city development and maintenence schemes, Foresso takes the left over timber, planing waste and wood dust from felling trees, and combines them with 0% VOC bio-based resin to create beautifully detailed terrazo surfaces suitable for both commercial and residential projects. 100% FSC BB/BB Throughout Plywood forms a renewable substrate, whilst hard mineral powders including cement and plaster foundry waste are sourced as locally as possible to provide a highly durable binder with a fine matt finish.

Foresso is coloured using pigment that can be RAL matched to suit the project, and a blend of natural oils and waxes provide a durable and food safe finish making the product suitable for highly functional as well as decorative applications.
