Concreate pre-finished floor and wall panels now give designers and the building industry access to the defining material used by Le Corbusier and the other great contemporary Brutalist Architects.
In extremely easy-to-use panel systems that are both lightweight, consistent in colour, inexpensive and able to be retro-fitted, the new range from Royal Oak Floors is giving designers the freedom to design.

After four years in development perfecting a completely new method of introducing the intrinsic cool, the new urban look of polished concrete is a very usable and inexpensive form. The ‘brief’ was to produce both a floor system and a super lightweight wall panel / ceiling system that was sustainable with a more environmentally alternative to the conventional poured concrete systems. Each panel produced is finished with a skim of concrete, easy to install, is polished and pre-finished with a natural oil clear coat giving a beautiful and natural concrete look and what is ultimately a natural product that is fully biodegradable.

There are no harmful chemicals used in the production, of which the bulk of materials used are minerals such as magnesium oxide and cement. These natural minerals are mixed and pressed with natural fibres and layers of recycled textiles. Common design sense was the applied to create the unique size modules that allow the Concreate floor and wall panels to be used in a variety of patterns and compositions.
