However, while colour, finish and texture all play an integral role, it s important not to overlook the style of edging you choose for the work surfaces, breakfast bars and islands. GREY SHUTTERED CONCRETE (STONE) 40MM That s why we re pleased to welcome Square-Edge into the Spectra family of contemporary laminate surfaces. Delivering raw, powerful clean lines, this unapologetically modern edging is available in both 22mm and 40mm and contrasts beautifully with other surfaces, while creating a sense of structured order in a room where joyful chaos so often reigns. 2 3

BLOCK WALNUT (MATT) To u g h a c t t o f o l l o w W o r k s u r f a c e s As their very name suggests, work surfaces are designed to be put to hard graft. It s why all Spectra Square-Edge surfaces are made of durable materials that can withstand the most intense food preparation. Naturally, like all Spectra surfaces, they re highly versatile too, able to accommodate sinks, hobs and drainers on top, while enabling ovens, dishwashers and spin washers to be fitted seamlessly below. To ensure the work surfaces are fully protected and eye-catching from every angle, both sides and all edges are sealed with an identical décor. Speaking of which, 22 stylish décors and six textures are available including sophisticated marble, shimmering quartz and original abstract designs. We ve also ensured the work surfaces are available in practical sizes to keep both joints and wasteful offcuts to a minimum. And thanks to the 650mm width, you can be confident all appliances will be fully covered with room to spare for any required scribing for uneven walls.

NATURAL SLATE (STONE) Fe e l a t h o m e E x t r a t e x t u r e Whether it s the subtle grain of wood or the raw sensation of granite, our textured work surfaces always leave a strong first impression. The six textures below have been carefully chosen to bring out the full lifelike character of each of the Spectra Square-Edge décors. Quartz A gloss surface with multi-coloured metallic elements freely distributed within the décor to give a dazzlingly unique finish. Used with some of our stone and wood décors, this delicate texture provides a distinctly natural look and feel. Stone Easy to clean and maintain, the non-reflective and subtle unevenness mirrors freshly quarried natural stone. Subtly and ingeniously replicates the natural grain of real wood. Six distinctive textures are applied across the Spectra Square-Edge range to give each of the 22 décors available a much greater sense of realism. So while the sharp clean edges and powerful style may catch the eye, your other senses are sure to be equally impressed. Satin This hard wearing finish provides a semi-polished sheen that enhances the colour of the décor. This texture provides a subtle satin feel, evoking the raw sensation of granite. Please Note: Quartz surfaces are more susceptible to scratches than other work surface finishes, so additional care must be taken when handling and cleaning. 24 25
