Terralite Fine

Product Overview

Marble has, since Roman times, been the symbol to reflect wealth and fine taste. Terralite Fine, created from finely graded natural colour based marble chippings bound in a transparent new generation resin, creates an appearance similar to natural ‘Dressed Granite’. It is an exceptional, decorative and durable natural marble coating, used as a cost effective alternative to natural marble. It is designed primarily for exterior surfaces to satisfy the most demanding architectural requirements.
