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 />

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.

Staying neutral<br />
Our beige-cream range is perfect<br />
when you’re using a more flamboyant<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 />

veining for a timeless look.<br />
Trascenda integrated surface<br />
patterns imprint distinctive<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 />

by us.<br />

cost-effective solutions that<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 />

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 />
