Dekton

Dekton by Cosentino is a sophisticated blend of the raw materials used to produce the very latest in glass and porcelain as well as the highest quality quartz work surfaces.

Dekton employs exclusive Sinterized Particle Technology, a high tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years.

Sinterized particle technology synthesizes truly innovative procedures from the most advanced technology industries. This evolution represents a technological and industrial leap capable of generating a new process, a revolutionary material and a leading product.

Electronic microscopy allows us to fully appreciate the material’s zero porosity, a consequence of the sinterization and ultra-compaction process exclusive to Dekton. This zero porosity and lack of the micro-defects that cause tension or weak spots mark the difference as far as Dekton is concerned.

Thanks to Dekton’s size and lightness ( size up to 320 x 144 cm ) the possibilities for new designs in kitchens, bathrooms, facades, walls or high-traffic flooring are endless. Halmann Vella is the exclusive supplier of Dekton in Malta.

High UV Resistance

Dekton is highly resistant to ultra violet (UV) light and will not fade or degrade over time making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Highly Scratch-resistant

Dekton is the most scratch resistant surface on the market and while the slip of a knife won’t damage Dekton, cutting boards are still recommended to protect your household utensils.

Resistant to stains

Dekton is completely Stain Proof. Even the most stubborn stains like wine, coffee, markers and rust can easily be removed from the surface. Since Dekton has extremely low porosity and contains no resins, it is chemically resistant.

High Resistance to fire and heat

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.

Resistant to abrasion

Dekton is even more resistant to abrasion than granite making it the ideal surface for commercial applications and high traffic areas such as flooring. Dekton’s finish will last for the life of the product and never needs to be re-finished.

Resistant to ice & thawing

Dekton’s low coefficient of thermal expansion makes it Thermal Shock proof from both extreme heat and extreme cold. It’s natural resistance to ice and thawing makes it perfect for use in the coldest environments.

Mechanical Resistance

With over 5 times the flexural strength of granite, it can be installed in thinner material over greater spans allowing up to 12inch unsupported overhang on worktops and bartops. It’s the ideal material for walkways, pavers or driveways.

Non-Porous

Dekton is non-porous and never needs to be sealed. It naturally prevents liquids and gasses from penetrating the surface, making it a low maintenance surface that is easier to clean.

Colour Stability

The manufacturing process used to make Dekton allows us control the pigmentation and decoration of the material giving better colour consistency from slab to slab and resulting in a long lasting product that will not fade.

Dimensional Stability

Dekton is very consistent in both dimension and thickness throughout the slab which minimizes the need for field corrections and allows for easy installation.

Non-combustible material

Dekton is a noncombustible material and withstands high temperatures without burning, scorching or cracking.

Waterproof

Dekton is highly water resistant
