Granite Transformations offers a smarter way to remodel
When Paul Lane uses the phrase “global franchise,”
he really means it.
In fact, the company for which he is now chief operat-
ing officer – Granite Transformations – can trace its
roots back across two decades while covering more
than 15,000 miles along the way.
The journey began at an Australian trade show in
1996, when founder Colin Mackenzie happened upon
a thin composite tile product he felt could be useful
as an overlay on kitchen and bathroom countertops,
though its predominant use had been for flooring. The
product’s composition allowed it to be installed in 10-
foot slabs over existing countertops, without seams or
grout.
