Go over the top in the kitchen

with the original top that fits on top!

Treating yourself to stylish replacement worktops can brighten up a tired-looking kitchen, introduce a fashionable new look, add value to your home and needn’t cost the earth.

Market research indicates that a million of us do it annually, with new worktops a highly popular option. But are you put off by the prospect of all the demolition mess and debris, days with your kitchen out of commission and making endless mugs of tea for workmen?

Worry not, there is a solution.

It’s an advanced, diamondpolished worktop surface that is available exclusively from your local Granite Transformations showroom. Having measured up your existing kitchen surfaces and made precise templates, they

fabricate custom made sections, including cutouts for taps, sinks and hobs, in their own workshops.

Then they bring the finished sections to your home and bond them directly onto your existing worktops, as well as fitting seamless edges and splashbacks, usually within the same day.

Just how this material is tough enough to survive all the stresses of a workaday kitchen, yet lightweight enough to need no extra reinforcement to units, is down to the unique production process.

Here’s the technical bit.

Known as agglomerate, Granite Transformations worktop materials are made from genuine Italian granite, natural quartzite or recycled tempered glass, bonded together with up to 5% specially-formulated polymer resin. It is then heat-cured to

create a dense, highly cross-linked structure, which is impervious to moisture and extremely resistant to thermal and mechanical shock.

What that essentially means is Granite Transformations surfaces are tough, durable and impact resistant. Yet surprisingly, Granite Transformations agglomerate is much slimmer and up to a third lighter than granite slab or conventional engineered stone, which means it fits neatly on top of existing worktops, with no need for additional strengthening.

Also, unlike cheap imports that are made using cement-based resins, GT worktops have high tensile strength, so are not susceptible to cracking, and are flexible enough to follow the exact contours of the worktop beneath, as well as enabling gentle curves and sweeping bends. That’s the technical stuff over, but you should also know that there’s a

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

lifetime material warranty too.

Because your local Granite Transformations showroom will carry out the complete installation themselves, using factory-trained fitters, not sub-contractors, and have the full backing of the worldwide manufacturer, they can extend this guarantee to every worktop they fit. Which, you’ll agree, is very reassuring.

Nor are you limited on the choice of materials and colours. Three different agglomerate surfaces are offered, featuring either the distinctive look and appeal of Italian granite, the subtle shades and fine grain of quartzite, or the eco-friendly credentials of recycled glass, which in case you wondered is just as tough and durable as the other GT materials. Also, there is a choice of more than 50 different colours, from neutral shades that project a more refined finish, to bright red and orange for eyecatching blocks of colour.

Naturally, there is a series of black gloss worktops for contemporary kitchen styling, through to off-white and polar ice that reflect natural or artificial light, plus many colours between. To see exactly what’s on offer and evaluate these unique agglomerate materials for yourself, visit your local Granite Transformations showroom and book a free home consultation.

But remember, it’s not a genuine fitted-in-one-day Granite Transformations worktop, if it doesn’t say Granite Transformations over the showroom door.

Once upon a time, we had a dream to open Warwickshire’s best family swim centre – and Swim Works was born! We’re so lucky that we get to share our passion and see your babies and children swimming and enjoying themselves every week.

But we want to offer more. And that’s why, with your help, we’re looking to open Swim Works 2 in Leamington Spa this Autumn. It will have all the same special features as Swim Works Rugby – a lovely warm pool with low chemicals, small classes and passionate teachers. And we’ll shape our programme around local demand, with something for the whole community from pre-school to after school, 121s, adults and aqua fit too.

Pre-school Learn to swim, relax, bond and have fun!

We want to take you on a magical swim journey from a Baby Splasher, through to a Little Swimmer. Learning valuable life skills and improving many early developmental skills, to give your little one the best headstart in life. All teachers are highly qualified, fuelled with passion and trained through our unique Little Splashers and Aqua Sensory swim programmes. It’s interactive, child-led and packed full of sensory fun. We are with you every step of the way, we believe in progression without being pushy. We take time to guide you and your little one, enriching their self esteem, building swim confidence and helping every child flourish.

Children’s After School Academy The Swim Works learn to swim framework, is a unique fast track programme that takes a complete non swimmer from their first splash through to independent swimming. Our child-led framework is progressive and inspirational, providing a clear learning platform that reflects the latest thinking and techniques.

We follow the national STA/ASA frameworks, but to give your child an effective and progressive programme we’ve developed our own teaching framework. Whether your child is looking to learn to swim or struggling to progress in their current lessons, our After School Academy is the perfect place for them to thrive.

Adults Discover your potential

We offer a comprehensive learn-to-swim programme to help adults overcome any water confidence issues, teaching the huge benefits that swimming can bring.

If you can swim and you’re looking at improving your strokes or striving for perfection from our advanced programme...you’ll find we are able to offer a course to suit you.

It’s never too late to learn to swim and unlike many forms of sport and exercise, swimming can be enjoyed at any age.

Adults Aqua Classes Our Pre and postnatal Aqua Tums classes are recommended by midwives as they prepare your mind and body for birth and recovery. They are a unique combination of gentle cardio, yoga stretches and breathing/floating exercises. is perfect for any level of fitness.

We offer a range of Aqua Fit/Therapy programmes that include a gentle mix of stretches and cardio in the water, which is great exercise. These popular sessions are a fantastic all-round workout for all ages in the water, leaving you feeling relaxed and toned afterwards.

We also offer Adult Aqua Sensory classes, an exciting new way to tune into your mind, body and soul sensory channels. Designed to relax and revitalise you during every stage... pre or postnatal. They are fun and supportive where you can make friends and bond together on your parent journey.
