Waterline to offer solid surface worktops

Waterline has introduced the most comprehensive solid surface collection available from one distributor to offer retailers a single-source supply that meets all requirements.

In addition to the established laminate ranges are the new, exclusive granite-plus WaterQuartz, Corian, Maia and Encore. Managing Director Mike Lawrence says: “Increasingly, consumers want the seamless appearance and high performance of solid surfaces. Waterline now offers the choice of materials, colours, accessories and price points that our customers are looking for.”

WaterQuartz is made from natural quartz and polymer resin, with bespoke fabrication by Whitehall. The surface is available in a 12-colour palette that includes the Diamond range of sparkle designs. In a variety of profiles, WaterQuartz is 30mm thick as standard or 20mm on request, which is also used for upstands and splashbacks.

Providing cost-effective solid surface solutions are Maia and Encore. Of acrylic composition, both products are easy to install and do not require template-taking. Waterline supplies both ranges in all colours, complete with accessories. Encore is 44mm thick and Maia is offered in the original 42mm plus the 54mm specification for a chunkier style.

The solid surfaces will be featured in Waterline’s new showroom at Newport Pagnell, which opens later this month (June) and in the new Blue Book 16
