from IDS, has been updated with 7 new laminate finishes for
2010, bringing the choice to a total of 24 designs. Responding to
the continued market trend for stones and granites, the Showerwall
range has been augmented with a raft of contemporary neutral
tones which are extremely design versatile for domestic, contract,
specification and social housing projects.
With metallics being one of the hottest trends around, there are
two designs, Vanilla Sparkle and White Sparkle, enriched with
shimmering pearlescent particles that evoke a luxurious look.
Inspired by actual stone from the Torreano area in Italy are
Torreano Sand, Torreano Stone and Torreano Marrone which make

high gloss texture which is both hard wearing and easy
maintenance. Last but by no means least, is Travertine Stone in a
new matt texture which replicates the feel of lightly polished stone.
