Refresh Your Home in a Snap

Imagine creating an entirely new look in your kitchen or bathroom with little or no mess and in record time.

That’s what TREND Transformations of Chicago promises to do with a product that is just as attractive, but more durable and easier to care for than solid marble, quartz or granite, says owner Brian Mazur.

The company specializes in countertop overlays, cabinet refacing and recycled glass mosaic backsplashes.

The countertop overlays are a one-fourth-inch veneer that’s made of 95% natural stone and 5% polymers and resin. It’s applied directly to an existing surface, and its ForeverSeal technology ensures surfaces are nonporous and never need to be sealed.

“This is the cutting-edge technology for countertop surfaces,” says Mazur. “All you have to do is wipe it down. The surface is scratch, stain, heat, mold and mildew resistant. People are very happy with the results. Once they see what we can do for them, they move forward with their project.”

Although the product has been around for about 24 years, it remains a little-known option, says Mazur.

Most countertop overlays can be installed in one day, while cabinet overlays take three to five days and a complete renovation takes eight days. By comparison, a traditional kitchen remodel might take four to six weeks, Mazur says.

TREND Transformations products are highly versatile, with countertop colors that look like marble, concrete, natural granite or quartz. The surfaces work on countertops, backsplashes, bathroom vanities, tub-to-shower conversions, tub surrounds, shower interiors, flooring, fireplaces and more.

TREND Transformations offers home visits to measure, design and share samples. Homeowners can experiment with different looks using the 3-D design tool online at granitetransformations.com.

“We bring the showroom to you, take care of our customers from start to finish and do what we say we will do,” says Mazur.
