What is Dekton?

STONE DEKODED

We have decoded natural stone, deciphering its unique beauty and performance to recode and upgrade it through technology into Dekton: The Technical Ultracompact Stone.

Dekton inspires the future of architecture and design by creating soulful spaces where beauty and functionality coexist in a perfect synergy.

Dekton is Stone

Dekton is a sophisticated mixture of more than 20 minerals extracted from nature.

Dekton uses in its manufacturing the exclusive TSP technology, able to sinter mineral particles making them bond with each other. 

Dekton is Technique

Dekton means excellence in functional beauty for any architectural project.

Dekton’s polyvalence makes it ideal for any application, even in the most demanding conditions such as facades or floors. 

Dekton is Ultracompact

Dekton perfects in a few hours what nature creates in thousands of years.

Dekton’s exclusive press generates 25,000 tons of uniform pressure (2.5 times the weight of Eiffel Tower). As a result of this ultracompaction process, Dekton has no micro-defects that cause tensions or weak points and it has an almost null porosity.  

Advantages

Dekton is a sintered stone made from raw materials. This process represents an accelerated version of metamorphic change that occurs in natural stone. Dekton is an ultra-compact surface which features many advantages. 

The structure of Dekton Worktops and quality of the surfaces mean it can be installed as kitchen worktops, floor and wall tiles, external housing cladding and much more. 

Dekton has other leading advantages over other worktops including Granite, Marble and Quartz. During its manufacturing stages, the slabs have been treated to ensure stain resistant technology, UV protection, water resistant, impact resistant and is heat resistant. 

Abrasion resistant

Dekton withstands abrasion better than granite and porcelain, making it ideal for interior and exterior applications. 

Scratch & impact resistant

Dekton’s great resistance to impact and scratches makes it perfect for everyday use. Its hardness equals quartz. 

Water & Stain resistant

Dekton boasts very low porosity, making it extremely resistant to water and stains, which can be easily removed and standard cleaning products.

 Dekton is available in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and colours & textures. To view the many colours and styles offered visit https://www.cosentino.com/en-ca/dekton/countertops/
