Challenge

NatraTex surfacing installed across 2600m2 of the Whiteknights campus at Reading University is providing an aesthetically-pleasing and durable pedestrian area that complements the designs of the existing and new halls.

Solution

NatraTex Cotswold® surfacing in brown was specified by the University Partnerships Programme (UPP), having been previously successfully used in a similar project at Exeter University.

Outcome

The fully-bonded aggregate proved a durable and robust option while ensuring the aesthetics of the development are maintained through natural-looking finishes in a variety of colours.
