Guaranteed Asphalt are proud to introduce a new variation on a proven product: mastic asphalt with a terrazzo finish, Guaraflex TF.

Since the introduction of a clear bitumen, a broad range of vibrant colours have been available to give mastic asphalt a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, particularly beneficial when used in public areas. This has brought mastic asphalt back into the minds of architects and specifiers as a viable product when applying the finishing touches to their projects. Now we have taken this idea a step further by removing the surface and exposing the inherent aggregate, thus giving a beautiful look whilst actually increasing the slip resistance of the surface.
The contrast of black or coloured bitumen with the variety of aggregates we have available, opens up a whole new world of options when requiring the durability and benefits of a monolithic mastic asphalt floor with the desire for a decorative finish.
We have developed this product with the backing and collaboration of our industry body, the Mastic Asphalt Council (MAC) to offer necessary credibility and technical back-up to such an important development within our industry.

Since we started trialling the product, the uptake has been astonishing. Architects and Main Contractors have instantly recognised the benefit of using mastic asphalt in this way, due to it's durability, the aforementioned monolithic state, unequalled environmental credentials: mastic asphalt is the first industry to become carbon neutral through the Carbon Zero campaign and is 100% recyclable. It also carries a ‘AAA’ fire rating, is of course waterproof, and decorated in this manner, is largely maintenance-free. It is also rodent and rot proof, has no odour, does not require a float finished screed to lay on and can be trafficked within an hour of laying, thereby offering a fantastic timesaving for your programme.

The material is already included in our latest revision BBA certificate (00/3691) under the Guaraflex P™ family of products and is available immediately in a variety of colour combinations. Five standard surface finishes are also on offer depending on the slip-resistance required (25-90 on pendulum test). Bespoke options are also available on request.
