Cabinets & Designs’ “Christmas Break”: Merry Movies for Your Holidays!
December 24, 2014KBIS 2015: A Preview
January 7, 2015When it comes to countertops and surfaces, Cosentino leads the industry in innovation. Their latest line—Dekton by Cosentino—is no exception. Launched in 2013, Dekton is an “ultra-compact surface” that is manufactured using a proprietary process they call Particle Sintering Technology (PST). The process of PST mimics metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subject to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years—in just four hours. The result is a revolutionary material and a leading product.
Dekton recently released five brand-new colors in their Natural Collection—Vegha, Edora, Kairos, Aura, and Irok—which makes this the perfect time to take another look at Dekton. To take a look in person, visit our showroom where the new color Aura is now on display.
Ultra Size
As a result of sinterization and ultra-compaction, Dekton has a significantly low porosity which translates into a low-maintenance product with terrific longevity. The new design possibilities for kitchens, bathrooms, facades, walls, or high-traffic flooring are greater than ever before, given the size and lightness of the material.
Ultra Performance
Dekton by Cosentino is unparalleled in performance. Let’s take a quick look at some highlights:
- Highly resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light and will not fade or degrade over time; perfect for indoor or outdoor.
- Dekton is the most scratch-resistant surface on the market.
- Dekton by Cosentino is completely stain proof. Wine, coffee, markers, and rust are all easily removed; because of its low porosity and the absence of resins, Dekton is chemical resistant.
- Dekton withstands high temperatures without burning, scorching, or cracking. Hot pots, and appliances like crock pots, can be placed directly on the surface with no worry of damage.
- Dekton is even more resistant to abrasion than granite, making it ideal for commercial spaces and high traffic areas such as flooring; the finish will last for the life of the product.
- A low coefficient of thermal expansion makes Dekton thermal shock-proof from both extreme heat and extreme cold. It’s perfect for use in even the coldest environments.
Ultra Compact
Dekton is non- porous and never needs to be sealed. It naturally prevents liquids and gasses from penetrating the surface, which results in a low-maintenance surface that is easy to clean and looks beautiful over time. Similarly, the PST process also allows for excellent color stability; the surface you install will maintain its new appearance for the life of the product. Dekton can be installed in thinner material over greater spans; its high compressive strength makes it ideal for walkways, pavers, or driveways.
