TorZo Durum

Durum creates a warm, organic and natural look that can be used in a variety of projects. Manufactured in the Pacific Northwest, Durum represents the commitment by TorZo to provide the building industry with sustainable surface products that are stylish, durable, and environmentally friendly.

Durum is made from composite wheat straw material and is the perfect fit in any green building project.  When used in green building projects, Durum can contribute to the project’s LEED certification. This is a result of the high percentage of recycled agricultural by-products in Durum, as well as its formaldehyde-free composition.

At the heart of Durum is an acrylic resin that is added to the boards through a state of the art infusion process.  This adds to Durum’s durability and hardness, making it ideal for high wear applications.

Great for both horizontal and vertical applications.

• CaraGreen Exhibiting at NeoCon East Next Week, Booth # 2767

CaraGreen is heading to Baltimore October 28th and 29th where we’ll be exhibiting at NeoCon East.  NeoCon East is the premier design exposition and conference for the mid-atlantic design community and we are excited to be part of this show!
 
The CaraGreen booth has installations of Durat, Meld, TorZo, and Turning House Millworks, so designers can see these sustainable products in action.  Durat will have a vibrant and playful lime green tub and kelly green sink on display.  Meld will have two stunning ecoX countertops, one of which shows their new micro glass option, which uses finely ground glass as the aggregate.  TorZo Indure, Tiikeri, and Orient will be featured as wall coverings and shelving in the booth, which adds texture and warmth to the space.  And, Turning House Millworks will cover the floor with their reclaimed multi-plank (engineered) wood flooring.
 
If you are heading to the show, we hope to see you there!  Otherwise, look for a recap of the event on our blog next month.
