splashbacks are made-to-measure and<br />

old one.<br />

They can withstand just about anything<br />

your life throws at them. Sticky fingers.<br />

Even stickier spills. No problem thanks to<br />

our tough, easy-care construction.<br />

The top<br />

that fits on top<br />

easy<br />

At just a quarter of an inch thick,<br />

our surfaces are super-light<br />

and slim. Yet they’re tougher<br />

than stone, more flexible<br />

than wood and come with our<br />

manufacturer's 10 year warranty.<br />

The ‘top that fits on top’ is unique.<br />

Unlike any other hard surface<br />

finish, our materials are made<br />

bespoke to your requirements.<br />

They’re fitted directly onto<br />

existing worktops, tiles and<br />

flooring, and bonded permanently<br />

to the original.<br />

There’s no need for added<br />

reinforcement, none of the usual<br />

upheaval and no builder’s waste<br />

to deal with. All you’re left with<br />

are gleaming, diamond-polished<br />

surfaces that look and feel<br />

perfectly at home.<br />

Don’t start over, makeover<br />

<strong>Granite</strong> Transformations is<br />

the way to achieve your<br />

dream kitchen, without the<br />

inconvenience and expense<br />

of buying completely new.<br />

Our expert project management,<br />

combined with highly skilled<br />

fitters, can save you up to 50%<br />

on the cost of a new kitchen, as<br />

well as taking much less time to<br />

inst<strong>all</strong> it. If you’re happy with your<br />

existing layout, our service is<br />

the ideal way to beautifully<br />

remodel and reinvent the<br />

heartbeat of your home.<br />

Browse the brochure and pop<br />

into your local showroom to see,<br />

Surface beauty,<br />

core strength<br />

technology and tradition combined<br />

touch<br />

The way we produce our surface<br />

slabs is what makes them so<br />

strong and versatile — any of<br />

them can be used as worktops,<br />

w<strong>all</strong> coverings, floorings and<br />

splashbacks.<br />

We take high quality granite<br />

and combine it with state-ofthe-art<br />

polymer resin. It’s then<br />

moulded into large, multi-purpose<br />

engineered stone slabs, known as<br />

Origina, only 6.7mm thick.<br />

We do the same with natural<br />

quartzite to create finer-grained<br />

materials and lighter colours.<br />

The slabs are backed with our<br />

trademark Flexiweb mesh, then<br />

diamond polished for a deep,<br />

enduring shine.<br />

Versatility is our superpower<br />

Our expertise and products<br />

aren’t limited to the kitchen and<br />

bathroom. Utility rooms, caravans,<br />

motorhomes, boats — even<br />

garden sheds can be transformed<br />

with <strong>Granite</strong> Transformations.<br />

Our processes combine the<br />

aesthetics of natural stone with<br />

the enhanced performance of<br />

a composite. The results are<br />

flawless, multi-purpose surfaces<br />

that are non-porous, and<br />

resistant to heat, knocks,<br />

and scratches.<br />

We can flex the surfaces<br />

to create flowing lines and<br />

contours. Perfect for waterf<strong>all</strong><br />

or peninsular ends, washbasin<br />

surrounds and island units.

twinned with black worktops and<br />

complemented with earthen tones.<br />

Our new range of Solid Ash hand painted<br />

particularly clean lined designs with<br />

minimal mouldings.<br />

Ultra gloss<br />

Earthen hues<br />

Our earthen spectrum extends<br />

across <strong>all</strong> of our granite, quartz and<br />

glass finishes. The variety of texture,<br />

graining and depth goes from rich,<br />

dark and earthy browns, through to<br />

subtle fawn.<br />

Staying neutral<br />

Our beige-cream range is perfect<br />

when you’re using a more flamboyant<br />

finish for cabinet doors, w<strong>all</strong> coverings<br />

and splashbacks. Equ<strong>all</strong>y, it’s just right<br />

in country kitchens or bathrooms,<br />

where timber features are the main<br />

focus. Available in finely-textured<br />

quartz finishes or more granular glass<br />

and granite effects.<br />

Grey heyday<br />

White and light grey finishes, from<br />

our granite and quartz collections,<br />

White is the new light<br />

Simple, fresh and unobtrusive,<br />

the beauty of white is that it goes<br />

statement accessories and colour.<br />

Bold and bright<br />

Vibrant colours aren’t for everyone.<br />

we’ll transform the room<br />

Ready to remodel your kitchen or bathroom?<br />

Our Interior Design Director, Steve Fury,<br />

shares his top tips and ideas.<br />

It’s useful to have a starting point<br />

that leads the changes — it might<br />

be a picture, favourite accessory<br />

or a piece of furniture. Try using<br />

a theme for inspiration: 70’s retro,<br />

English country, American diner,<br />

minimalist chic.<br />

When it comes to colour, consider<br />

the shape and size of the room,<br />

the ceiling height, and how<br />

much natural light is available.<br />

Dark colours may make<br />

sm<strong>all</strong> rooms feel sm<strong>all</strong>er and<br />

oppressive. Lots of light may<br />

wash colours out.<br />

Use a colour wheel to<br />

get the full spectrum of<br />

complementary colours.<br />

Try a contrasting worktop or door<br />

colour on an island or breakfast<br />

bar. Pick out worktop colour flecks<br />

to inspire door, w<strong>all</strong> or accessory<br />

colours. It’s worth knowing that<br />

lighter worktops can take bold<br />

contrasting finishes.<br />

Add interest with extra design<br />

features like alcoves, islands,<br />

and feature storage — a mix<br />

of cupboards, open alcoves<br />

and shelving makes the most<br />

of space.<br />

Use accent lighting for plinths,<br />

under shelving and w<strong>all</strong> storage.<br />

•Use feature lighting as a<br />

statement or focal point over<br />

an island or breakfast bar.<br />

•Use natural finishes to add<br />

warmth and contrast to<br />

solid colours.<br />

Splashbacks and upstands<br />

can completely change the<br />

look of a kitchen. Full feature<br />

splashbacks create a dramatic<br />

statement and upstands in the<br />

same Origina finish as the<br />

worktop make the over<strong>all</strong> look<br />

appear larger.<br />

home comforts

popularity, demonstrated here in a show<br />

display at a Grand Designs Exhibition.<br />

Our recycled glass surface was used<br />

for the kitchen worktop and breakfast<br />

bar, whilst our Origina TM surfaces were<br />

rounded and cut to shape to create a<br />

desk area in a garden office.<br />

Work space, break-out<br />

space, leisure space<br />

<strong>Granite</strong> Transformations don’t<br />

just stop at creating wonderful<br />

kitchens and bathrooms.<br />

We can apply our expertise<br />

and products to any room in<br />

the house — and beyond.<br />

Home offices, pubs and B&Bs,<br />

sheds and even canal boats can<br />

<strong>all</strong> be remodelled and renovated<br />

by us.<br />

For sm<strong>all</strong> businesses needing<br />

cost-effective solutions that<br />

cause minimal disruption, plus<br />

hardwearing, premium products<br />

that look good and will last,<br />

we’re the ideal option.<br />

A new shedquarters<br />

A recent project for the Lean<br />

Agency involved relocating their<br />

premises in London, to a bespoke<br />

and luxurious shed in the owner’s<br />

back garden.<br />

A tough, practical and<br />

hardwearing surface that looked<br />

amazing was required for the<br />

interior. All our products tick<br />

those boxes, but Polar Ice was<br />

the favourite for the internal<br />

fitments and furniture.<br />

The ‘floating desk’ was supported<br />

by a single curved storage unit.<br />

The slim, inherent flexibility<br />

of the slab made it possible to<br />

create a virtu<strong>all</strong>y seamless finish,<br />

with bonded edging strips, giving<br />

the impression of a much deeper<br />

countertop.<br />

INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS, LOCAL TO YOU<br />

quality<br />

TREND Group was established<br />

in 2000 by Dr Pino Bisazza and<br />

Andrea Di Giuseppe. Between<br />

them, these two visionary<br />

craftspeople have a lifetime’s<br />

experience in engineered stone<br />

and premium glass mosaic tile<br />

manufacturing.<br />

Their mission? To combine<br />

Italian artistic tradition with<br />

innovative technologies, using<br />

processes that respect the earth’s<br />

resources. They started out with<br />

a sm<strong>all</strong> group of passionate and<br />

committed colleagues. So far, their<br />

success extends to more than 700<br />

employees across the globe.<br />

The Group is firmly rooted in the<br />

creative integrity of its Venetian<br />

glass foundry: the Angelo Orsoni<br />

Furnace. For example, in the<br />

production of the Origina<br />

collection, centuries-old<br />

techniques flourish alongside<br />

the most advanced processes<br />

at the manufacturing facility<br />

in Sebring, Florida.<br />

Flourishing<br />

creativity<br />

The Group symbol is a stylised cactus.<br />

This icon represents the vibrancy<br />

of TREND’s successful artistry in<br />

ch<strong>all</strong>enging economic climates.<br />

It’s an emblem of our perseverance<br />

and ability to adapt and innovate in<br />

ever-changing markets.<br />

promise<br />

We are so confident about the quality of our<br />

worktops, we give them a 10 year guarantee.
