At RJ Hartwell, we're proud to be recognised specialists in the supply and installation of NatraTex surfacing, offering a premium alternative to traditional tarmac or resin-bound finishes. Whether you're enhancing a private driveway, constructing a new access road, or specifying materials for a public realm project, NatraTex provides the perfect balance of aesthetics, performance and durability.
What is NatraTex?
NatraTex is a high-quality, coloured asphalt surface course developed by Bituchem, designed to deliver the appearance of natural aggregate without the maintenance demands of loose gravel or the colour limitations of conventional tarmac. It is a durable, smooth and hard-wearing surface available in a range of colours - with the Cotswold Stone tone being one of the most popular across Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and the wider Cotswolds.
Unlike resin-bound surfacing, NatraTex does not rely on a resin binder. Instead, it uses a modified clear binder within a bituminous mix, providing a seamless surface with excellent strength and flexibility. The result is a premium surface finish that looks natural and complements both heritage and contemporary settings.
Why Choose NatraTex?
- Visually appealing: Replicates the warm tones of natural stone for a high-end, elegant appearance.
- Durable and low maintenance: Withstands heavy traffic and weathering without cracking or fading.
- Slip-resistant: Provides excellent traction, making it ideal for driveways, footpaths, cycleways and public spaces.
- Versatile application: Suitable for residential, commercial and local authority projects.
- Sustainable choice: Produced with a lower carbon footprint and recyclable at the end of its lifespan.
