If there’s one thing we’ve learned when it comes to choosing benchtops, it’s that not all surfaces are created equal. Some are more trouble than they’re worth: highly absorbent and easily damaged.

Dekton is an ultra-compact surface that consists of 20 different minerals including porcelain, glass and quartz. To make Dekton, innovative technology exposes the minerals to high pressure and high heat which changes their composition. The result is one of the most versatile, durable and architecturally pleasing stone to add in your interior or exterior areas.

Here are the 3 reasons why we love working with Dekton:

1. Versatile

Dekton is the classic all-rounder: you can use it anywhere. To start it is the perdfect choice for both inside and outside spaces.  The design possibilities with Dekton are huge.

2. Durable

Dekton is created using high heat and pressure. That means it’s strong, tough and hard-wearing. It’s more resistant to damage caused by scratches, heat, high impact and sunlight compared to other types of stone surfaces. Dekton is also easy to clean and maintain which makes it perfect for high traffic, and high spill areas. One of the big drawbacks with some surfaces is that they stain easily: even water can leave marks if it’s not cleaned up quickly. Dekton is non-porous which makes it harder for liquids to be absorbed into the surface and create stains.

3. Architecturally Pleasing

We strive to deliver form and function with all our projects and Dekton looks as good as it performs. It comes in a vast array of different colours and thickness. It gives  a modern and timeless look that won’t date. 

How eco-friendly is Dekton?

When it comes to green credentials, Dekton gets a big tick. It’s carbon neutral and manufactured with 100% renewable energy. 

What does Dekton cost?

You get what you pay for and that’s certainly the case with Dekton. The cost of Dekton is on par with other leading stone brands on the market. The point to remember about Dekton is that it’s hard-wearing so when you’re comparing other stone products, think about the lifespan and performance you want from your surface and talk to your supplier.
