 WHAT IS
DEKTON ?

Dekton is the new ultracompact surface created through

the innovative combination of more than 20 minerals.
New techniques such as ultracompaction and synthesization
turn Dekton into a material with unique properties and limitless
possibilities – an improved version of natural stone.

PST is a process that sinters mineral particles so that they link up and
change their internal structure. PST technology completely synthesises
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.

Dekton uses the exclusive PST technology, a technological process that

uses an accelerated version of the metamorphic changes that natural
stone undergoes from exposure to high pressure and high temperatures
for thousands of years.

It features virtually zero porosity and its non-existence of microflaws,

that cause tension and weaknesses, set Dekton apart from other
materials.

Ultracompact surfaces with 1.2 cm
thickness are ideal for, probably the most
demanding architectural application:
the independent skin of buildings.

Only this sort of material can offer as

many solutions using different certified
anchoring systems, such as continuous
grooved edges, undercut anchors or
dovetail-shaped diagonal grooves.

The project is thus released from formal

limitations and can incorporate creative
shapes, with pieces that can be up to 3m
long and have slim lineal designs.

measured with pinpoint accuracy and the resulting overall look
is permanent.

Neither the sun or ice will leave traces on the material (shape
and colour stability, warping-free, are the key to everlasting
architecture).

The surface of a city is an ever

changing skin, exposed to the best
and worst of people. Graffiti can
ruin the greatest design, unless
the material can resist almost
everything. 0.8cm thickness
together with a top mechanical
performance is the key to ensure
windows and thin solid walls
become one, in shape and size.

When that skin is solid, it must be

perfectly level and have impeccable
straight edges and drills so the logo
is the leading actor.

 We all want to dive in when we see a swimming pool in summer,
with its small tiles in a spotless ocean blue. But we all forget (or
ignore), that the same swimming pool becomes a nightmare for the
owners in spring and autumn, fighting against the green flecks that
cling to the joints.

Why not change the rules? Why not use large plates for the sides and
the bottom? Why not integrate the surrounding floor with the pool
itself? Why not even think about rounded edges and corners?
Never before has this been possible – but it is today.

And what about the slipperiness of a shower tray or cladding from

floor to ceiling with the same material and different textures?
Before, that was a limitation. Not anymore.

When designing an outdoor surface

we need to take gravity into account:
everything floating in the air will
end up falling onto it. And it can be
unused for weeks and months.

Is the material strong enough to face

a chemical cleaning and return to
its original conditions? The decision
will depend on this answer: Has
the material been ever damaged
by snow or frost? Cheap becomes
expensive when adding up the regular
maintenance.

Where are the limits? When talking about ultracompact surfaces, the limits are in
the creativity it portrays. In prehistoric times, cavern walls were used to draw the
working plan (e.g. Altamira).

In the 21st century, we can draw the detailed structure of tomatoes on a mosaic
floor - slab by slab, thousands of them, each of them with a different graphic.
Everything over a material which is always the same yet versatile in so many
ways, for instance, through inkjet.

 Choosing where to place an island is not only a matter of space,
but also of function. The first step in the design process is knowing
how big the island can be using just one piece.

Later, we need to check the size of overhung parts, if the material

can be easily cut without breaking risks, availability of the material
in 2 or 3 cm thickness so the edge becomes an aesthetically
pleasing feature. Only then, the structure underneath can be
designed.
