THINNER’S A WINNER IN WORKTOPS
Robert Campbell explains the benefits of Origina® for a stunning new look...
Origina®® is the fancysounding name TREND Transformations applies to its kitchen worktop and bathroom surfaces. It’s beautiful, tough, durable and much thinner than other materials like granite, marble, engineered stone or solid synthetics, but equals or exceeds them in technical performance terms. To prove it, TREND Transformations offers an unrivalled lifetime material warranty. So, with the millionth Origina® already installed worldwide, what makes this distinctive material a winner in the kitchen and bathroom?
LIGHTWEIGHT
– Origina® is at least twothirds lighter than other materials, so needs less reinforcement and can be installed vertically and horizontally.
SLIMLINE
– produced and fullysealed only a quarter of an inch thick, it fits right on top of existing surfaces without adding depth or substance.
TOUGHER
– the slimline profile doesn’t compromise strength and, unlike granite slab, Origina® survives the dropped bowling ball test without breaking.
LASTING
– TREND Transformations’ Origina® retains its luxurious good looks for so long, it is guaranteed against a lifetime of wear and tear.
EASYCARE
– unlike granite, marble and engineered stone, which need regular sealing and maintenance, Origina® just requires a wipe over with a damp cloth.
RESISTANT
– Origina® is certificated to be highly resistant to liquids, chemicals, scratches, impact and burns and is harder than natural materials.
GREENER
– made using a high percentage of recycled content like post-consumer glass and recovered granite and quartz, Origina® is green by design.
AFFORDABLE
– Origina® is fitted over existing worktops and other surfaces, making it cheaper, easier and less disruptive to install, with less waste.
VERSATILE
– fit it on top of worktops, vanities or wash stands, on floors, stairways and pool surrounds, as splashbacks, shower liners and panels.
BEAUTIFUL
– made with Italian granite, quartz or recycled glass, it’s beautiful in black, refined in earthen tones, brilliant in white and bold in primary colours. But perhaps the biggest appeal of TREND Transformations Origina® is that it will be measured-up, made off-site and installed by our factory in Meikleour. What’s more, the expert, factory-trained fitters ensure a consistently high standard of workmanship and provide final proof that thinner’s a winner.
