CONCRETE AND CEMENT

The RTU Signature Range:

EXPOSA® An aesthetically pleasing, durable and slip-resistant decorative concrete, Exposa® is the ultimate alternative to paving, asphalt, tarmac and loose gravel. What makes Exposa® stand out from the crowd is the variety of colours that allows designers and architects to be bold or subtle in their design work. ULTRAFLO® Enjoy improved energy efficiency and lower running costs with underfloor heating. A key benefit of Ultraflo® is minimal drying shrinkage compared to cement-based screeds. Minimal drying shrinkage reduces the risk of cracking and allows areas between movement joints to be dramatically increased. ULTRACEM® This Portland cement-based, pump- applied liquid floor screed excels due to its fast-track qualities and the speed and ease of installation over traditional sand: cement screeds. Ultracem® is a diverse product compatible with all standard floor coverings, including tiles, wood, vinyl, carpet and wet areas. ULTRABEAD® Ultrabead is a specially engineered thermal lightweight screed that improves the thermal performance of internal floors. This product is manufactured from a high-quality, factory-produced EPS bead that meets the BS EN 13163 standard criteria. ZIRCON® This technically designed decorative concrete delivers a sleek polished floor that can be finished with various grades of polishing to achieve the desired look for your project. Zircon offers a chic and durable alternative to natural stone by being stylish, hardwearing, and low maintenance.

RTU – supplying and supporting excellence in NI construction

BUILDING FUTURES – ULSTER UNIVERSITY, BELFAST CAMPUS The new Belfast Campus of Ulster University has transformed the York Road streetscape with a world-class education and research facility, a holistic student experience and a seamless link between campus and city. Taking its architectural design inspiration from the shape of the surrounding Belfast hills, there is no doubt that the campus presents a bold and confident aesthetic. Yet, its powerful presence fits seamlessly into the old and new of the surrounding city. Overall the campus exterior incorporates an eclectic mix of materials that work wonderfully well to complement each other. RTU Coloured Mortar is used to great effect by providing an appealing contrast to the

red brick and smoked glass elevations. Overall the campus uses 650,000 bricks, 22,000m 2 of sleek glass and 2,000m 2 Scottish stone, culminating in a considered balance of modern and contemporary. With 40% of final-year students staying in the city where they studied, the new campus is essential to Belfast and Northern Ireland’s future.
