Granite Transformations debuts new porcelain collection

MIRAMAR, FL -- Granite Transformations, an international remodeling services company, has announced the debut of its new earth-tone inspired color collection, "Terra." Italian for "Earth," Terra brings the brown tones of the soil, the gold shimmers of a tree trunk and the gentle tones of porcelain to the Granite Transformations lineup of quality stone products. Porcelain, a new product component for Granite Transformations, is smooth to the touch but also one of the hardest materials, making the collection both durable and beautiful for kitchens and bathrooms.

"Granite Transformations prides itself on providing stylish, quality and environmentally friendly products, and the Terra collection not only captures these attributes, but also introduces a new material, porcelain, giving it a refined and welcoming feel," explained Carl Griffenkranz, Vice President of marketing and franchise development for Granite Transformations. "We were approached by a major manufacturer of porcelain products about the possibility of incorporating remnant porcelain into our existing product line. Considering we are on the forefront of utilizing natural materials to design stronger, more durable granite and glass products, this was a natural progression for Granite Transformations."

Granite Transformations’ new Terra collection features two new colors -- Chiara and Di Siena -- both with varying flecks of gold, brown, black and porcelain. The collection was created to not only improve the quality of time spent in the remodeled space, but also add beauty that is universally appealing, should a homeowner ever decide to move.  

"After a successful market test in October, we saw a strong interest in this collection in showrooms across the country and are confident that this product will be installed in many homes and businesses in the coming year," said Griffenkranz.
