Granite launches two eco-sustainable surfaces

Granite Transformations has added the Trend G Bianco Spizzio and Beige Supreme surfaces to its range of eco-sustainable products.

The surfaces are made from recycled glass mosaic tile fragments, which are themselves produced from post-consumer-recycled glass.

They are made to fit on top of existing worktops, so there is no demolition and no contribution to landfill waste.

The scratch-, stain-, heat- and impact-resistant materials do not need regular resealing with chemicals and waxes, nor any maintenance, except for an occasional wipe with a clean e-cloth, which is provided.

The new Trend G designs, which are suitable for kitchens or for renovating a bathroom or shower, are in line with this season's natural and neutral tones, according to the company.

Bianco Spizzio is a creamy white backdrop, littered with sun-bleached fragments and greys, while Beige Supreme projects shards of golden yellow, scattered across a soft, white sandy bed.

According to Granite Transformations, both are suitable for adding 'beachcomber' eco-chic to a remodelled kitchen or bathroom, possibly teamed with bright blues, earth browns or bolder shades.

The company's production process consumes less raw material and creates tough, slimline slabs that can be bonded directly onto old worktops, without extra reinforcement.

These agglomerate surfaces are composed mainly of natural raw materials, in this instance recycled glass mosaic tiles, blended with three to four per cent high-performance polymer, which, unlike cement-based products, never needs sealing, are not susceptible to staining and are inherently tough and flexible.

The translucent glass mosaic fragments, themselves containing 80 per cent post-consumer-recycled content, introduce subtle variations in tone, light and shade, with no two slabs exactly alike.

These recycled mosaic surfaces are comparable in price and quality to natural granite or heavy engineered stone; however, savings arise from eliminating the time-consuming demolition and fitting process associated with new worktop and splashback installations.

These Granite Transformations surfaces are fabricated off site in a workshop, avoiding all the mess and inconvenience caused by working in the customer's home, and the final fitting usually takes only one or two days in a standard-size kitchen or bathroom.

A manufacturer's lifetime warranty is included.
