The roofline area is the most exposed and vulnerable feature of any property. It is ravaged by all weathers and is susceptible to hazards such as blocked gutters which can cause timber fascias to rot quickly.

There is, thank goodness, an answer to this problem in the form of a permanent cure. Not only will it alleviate the worry of expensive replacement of rotten timbers, but also eliminate the need for repainting every few years.

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.expressadvertisers.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.

n eye pleasing alternative to loose gravel, concrete, and brick, a Resintop domestic resin driveway needs little maintenance and once installed will reward you with many years of outstanding performance. We offer a wide range of colour and texture options, to either complement or contrast any adjacent surfaces.

This huge selection allows for the creation of a truly unique resin driveway that will add kerb appeal and be the envy of your neighbours.

Resin bound paving fixes together small stones with high-tech resin to form a firm, attractive surface. It creates many small gaps that allow water to drain through into the ground.

What is it?

Resinbound is crushed stone in contrasting colours that is your answer to complete driveway and general surfacing solutions including footpaths. swimming pool surrounds, patios, courtyards or in fact anything that will enhance your area of choice in a variety colour’s. Resinbound is

the way forward in surfacing and the latest up to date technology in surfacing procedures, and will give your main investment that executive look that it deserves and give you years of easy to maintain pleasure to look at.

Will it match my property?

Resinbound comes in a wide choice of colours so that your property may be colour matched to suit your own personal requirements. We will bring samples with us at the time of survey so that we may try to match the best colour suitable for your property although this is quite often based on personal choice and opinion.

Is it tough?

Resinbound surfacing is not only fantastic looking but is also hardwearing and permeable and will leave an everlasting impression on your property for years to come that everyone will envy! Driveway and path surfacing stone is laid at a mixed size of 1mm to 5mm along with resin and kiln dried sand and this unique combination gives it the strength and durability required. Tree pits and garden arrangements are laid in 10mm crushed stone to give it strength and a good focal point.

Do you feel that if only you could let go of the baggage you are carrying around with you things would be so much better?
