Neolith Retrostone Surfacing Material by The Think Tank Iron Building Materials and Construction Components Design Award Winner 2019

Neolith Retrostone Surfacing Material

Retrostone is an elegant surface based on the design classic terrazzo. Its striking, big-grain pattern creates a mesmerising, kaleidoscopic effect. Aesthetically original, Retrostone's motif is a playful twist on the iconic pattern, incorporating softer, translucent tones and a larger grain. This subtle surface gives the classic a new lease of life. Retrostone is resistant to heat, abrasion, UV-exposure, frost, wear and tear, and impacts. It is suitable for floors, walls, facades, furniture and worktops. It is available in sheets measuring 3,200 x 1,600 mm and is 6 or 12 mm thick.
