An ultra compact surface like Dekton, inspired from naturally found stones, brings an entirely new world of options for designing both commercial and residential spaces.

Cosentino, the makers of Dekton, o have invested almost 200 million British pounds into this new product that will solve the need that arises on all types of outdoor applications including barbeque worktops, garden benches, patio shelves, flooring, staircases and steps, etc.

This probably is one of the biggest launches in the Stone Industry since Silestone in the early 90’s.

Dekton surfaces are made with intrinsically advanced technical properties put together only after extensive scientific research with hundreds of real marble, granite and (amongst other many different natural stones) quartz samples. The designers who had the task commissioned, hand-picked the best features of each of these natural materials that they would like to see in the new Dekton surface, accorded it to what the market demands, and Cosentino made it as per their guidance and recommendation, with the addition of their great expertise at manufacturing unique products with great quality and performance attributes.

This new product is created for both interior and exterior use and requirements.

What makes Dekton suitable for exterior applications?

To begin with, Dekton is highly durable and immensely resistant to UV rays. This means that it does not lose its colour stability due to continuous exposure to the sun. Further to this, the material is highly resistant to accidental impacts, which means dropping an object on to the surfaces will have no major effect on Dekton surfaces in most cases.

It is also scratch resistant, which is ideal for homemakers and even restaurant applications where the cooks can cut meat and vegetables directly on the surface without using a cutting board.

Other magnificent features include abrasion and thermal shock resistance that can withstand heat, frost and thawing. Therefore, it is the ultimate product created to answer the challenges faced by many architects and designers that require a product that is versatile both in terms of performance and design possibilities.

Where does Dekton derive so much strength from?

During its genesis, Dekton is made to withstand scorching high temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes it ultra durable enough to place hot pots and pans taken off the stove and be put directly on the worktop surface and is one of the main advantages of the product when compared to other man-made surface materials such as quartz.

Besides being incredibly tough and spreading its beauty along with unique aesthetic values, Dekton also comes in a variety of colours, thicknesses and finishes. Design possibilities are almost endless when it can be used for flooring, cladding, staircases, exterior facades, kitchen worktops, vanity tops and wall panelling in bathrooms, pool surroundings, outdoor showers and much more.

Why is Dekton so resistant?

To understand the reason for its immaculate strength, Dekton is quite simply the most genius blend of quartz, porcelain and glass amongst other raw materials embedded in the final product. It takes in all of the greatest qualities from each of its constituting raw natural products to fuse together and compress under extreme temperatures and pressures that gives rise to Dekton, an ultra compact surface.

It is also non-porous, so when you use Dekton for outdoor applications, it does not soak water or leave stains. Furthermore, you do not need to coat or seal the surface. It is very low in terms of upkeep and maintenance and very easy to clean, using just standard cleaning products.

Dekton is also available in ultra wide formats of up to 1440mm and ultra-thin slabs, starting at 8mm thickness with a lightweight sheet that makes it suitable for innumerable possibilities.
