DEKTON by COSENTINO
Design and strength in a single material.
Composition:
What type of material is Dekton?
According to its technical data sheet, Dekton is a material composed of a sophisticated combination of raw materials used for the manufacture of porcelain, glass and quartz surfaces.
Due to its composition and manufacturing process, Dekton is a true revolution in construction, design and architecture, as it is capable of combining beauty, strength and durability in a single product.
This is because it is a material that is impervious to extreme heat, abrasion, UV rays, sub-zero temperatures, impacts, scratches and scratches.
Advantages and properties of Dekton
HIGH RESISTANCE TO UV RAYS
Due to its high stability, resulting from the unique ultra-compaction process, Dekton is resistant to the incidence of ultraviolet rays (UV-A, UV-B).
This makes it a superb choice for indoor use, but especially for outdoor use, as it does not alter in colour or gloss over time.
IMMUNE TO STAINS
As a result of its non-porosity, Dekton is immune to the usual stains of daily domestic use and to the aggression of chemical cleaning agents.
In addition, it is very easy to clean against ink stains, coffee, wine, oils, acids and even rust.
HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT
Dekton has an extraordinary resistance index to fire and heat; it also withstands the use of electrical appliances on its surface without presenting any deterioration problems.
This characteristic is especially useful when it comes to withstand direct contact with hot pots, pans and grills, without altering its aesthetics or properties.
WITHSTANDS ICE AND THAWING
Thanks to its very low coefficient of thermal expansion, Dekton does not suffer alterations due to the thermal shock of going from extreme heat to extreme cold, and vice versa.
For this reason, we have before us a perfect material to install in areas exposed to high thermal oscillation.
ABRASION RESISTANT
The finish, colour and gloss of Dekton will remain unalterable throughout the life of the product, without needing replacement or repair.
Its high resistance to abrasion makes it especially suitable for high traffic areas in commercial surfaces, both in façades and in cladding and flooring.
IMPERVIOUS TO SCRATCHES AND KNOCKS
Dekton will not scratch, scrape or be damaged by the use of domestic cutting utensils. It is perfectly capable of withstanding the sharpest knife blades.
Even so, the manufacturer recommends the use of cutting boards to protect our kitchen utensils.
Dekton thicknesses and sizes
Dekton slabs are available in a wide variety of thicknesses to suit the needs of each project where their use is required.
In addition, it is now also available in an ultra-thin 4mm finish without losing any of its strength and durability.
Dekton is also available in large format slabs of up to 320 x 144 cm, which makes it possible to install it with hardly any joints, providing a perfect continuity, much appreciated by interior designers and architects.

Uses of Dekton
¿Para qué espacios se utiliza?
The uses of Dekton are as varied as this material is versatile; in addition to its resistance, another of its advantages is its range of colours, finishes and formats.
Currently, thanks to the large size of Dekton slabs and the variety of thicknesses available, it is used in kitchens, walls, bathrooms, flooring, high-traffic surfaces and even ventilated facades.
If you would like to get to know this innovative material first hand, we invite you to come and visit us at our warehouse in Estepona.
Dekton o Silestone: Which is better?
Starting from the premise that we are talking about two extremely high quality materials, the choice between Silestone or Dekton will be defined by the real needs of our project. By choosing either of the two materials you will be opting for high-performance surfaces: non-porous, resistant, durable for many years and with spectacular designs.
For outdoor installation, we recommend that you opt for Dekton, as its high resistance to cold, heat and UV rays makes it a perfect material for this purpose.
However, if what is most important in your project is colour or a variety of textures, you will undoubtedly find a range of colours in Silestone that is very difficult to match with any other material.
As official distributors of both Dekton and Silestone, and based on our experience, at Mercasur Estepona we can advise you without obligation as to which material best suits the requirements of your project and also according to your budget and personal tastes.
What is the price of Dekton?
To know the price of Dekton, it is necessary to take into account a series of factors that will have a direct impact on the budget: the colour chosen, the measurements, the specific thickness and the metres required. For this reason, it is very difficult to offer a reliable price online.
Approximately, the price of Dekton is slightly higher than that of Silestone; although, taking into account that it is a material with exceptional qualities, we can conclude that installing Dekton is more of an investment than an expense, resulting in a perfect choice in terms of value for money.

Why choose Dekton?
As we have already mentioned, Dekton, apart from being an innovative, elegant material with a sophisticated design, has extraordinary technical qualities. Moreover, it is non-porous and does not lose its colour over time, has high mechanical resistance and is non-combustible.
On the other hand, its range of natural colours gives it an unmistakable style, adapting to both classic and avant-garde styles, and presenting a timeless beauty.
Thanks to the size and lightness of Dekton slabs, together with all these characteristics, the design possibilities for kitchens, bathrooms, walls and floors are endless. Undoubtedly, Dekton is a material that catches all eyes; a commitment to distinction and excellence.
