DEKTON
WIDE RANGE OF COLOURS & THEMES FOR YOUR HOME
DEKTON
Dekton ultracompact surfaces are a sophisticated blend of the raw materials used to produce the very latest glass and porcelain with 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.
Stone Amperor has selected some of the best collection by Dekton specially for your home and office including:
XGloss Stonika, XGloss Natural, XGloss Solid, Wild, Industrial, Solid, Natural & Tech.
FEATURES OF DEKTON

FAQS ON DEKTON
What is ultracompact surface?
Ultracompact surface is a completely new countertop surface that is made by putting the raw materials found in glass, porcelain, and quartz, under extreme heat and pressure to create an almost indestructible material.
Is Dekton heat resistant?
Due to the nature of the material, Dekton is able to withstand high temperatures without burning or cracking. Hot pots and appliances can be placed directly on the surface leaving no burn marks on the surface.
What is the range of thickness and size of Dekton?
Dekton is offered in slabs of varying thicknesses (8mm, 12mm, 20mm, 30mm) that can be adapted to your design based on the application and the desired effect. It is also offered in large-format slabs (3200 mm long x 1440 mm wide) that open up avenues of design that had previously been unthinkable.
What is the sintering process?
Sintering is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials.
