Challenge

NatraTex Cotswold Classic surfacing was used to improve the car park and entrance at a grade 2 listed manor house. The client wanted to achieve both a sympathetic and durable aesthetic, and for the car park to be 'warmer' to make the listed building appear more pleasing on approach.

Solution

NatraTex Cotswold Classic (Buff2) was the preferred fully-bonded surfacing choice for several reasons:

  • cost-effective compared to other aesthetic finishes
  • minimal maintenance required
  • quick and easy installation

In total approximately 1500m2 of NatraTex was laid in one day.

NatraTex is an alternative to resin bound surfacing and other hard landscaping materials such as block paving and conventional black tarmacadam. NatraTex shares similar characteristics with conventional tarmacadam, being laid at the same depth and sub layers.

Outcome

The NatraTex surfacing is proving to be a durable surface for the busy entrance space.

The client was pleased with the result, stating: “NatraTex Cotswold achieved the desired look.”
