  1. Hi Dan,

    1. You can get some great colours and textures. Its really durable and made from natural product so ticks the eco box. It can mark over time but comes up lovely with a polish. Dalsouple do a good range. http://www.dalsouple.com/ We used it on the Shine hair salon where its durability was important. You can cut in patterns. We mixed a bright green with a rich dark brown. http://www.forsterinc.co.uk/projects/retail/shine-on-the-green

    2. I guess you mean resin bonded aggregates. Gravel or pebbles 'glued' to an existing surface with clear or coloured resin. Its a specialist technique so go to a specialist paving contractor. Not the bloke you know in the pub!

    3. Its all about the fittings here. Gloss cabinets you can pretty much get from anywhere and most kitchen suppliers do the soft touch hinges which have a dampened self closing hinge. For the click open bit you need a MINI-LATCH automatic spring catch. Hafele do one. http://www.hafele.co.uk
