Technical characteristics of Dekton

2.440 – 2.610 Kg/m3

High chemical resistance

Absorption of external noise and low risk of detachment.

45 – 55 N/mm2

Higher values than those required by ceramic standards.

Greater safety due to high resistance to wind and/or earthquakes.

< 6,5 – 5,1 10-6 ºC-1

Values equivalent to natural stone or concrete.

No need for fixing systems or special tolerances.

< 0,1%

Five times lower than best-in-class ceramics standards.

Withstands humidity, rain, and frost on all sides.

< 0,8 – 0,6 W/m W/m ºK

Three times lower than ceramic or natural stone.

Dekton is non-combustible and features Protek, a reinforcing mesh. Fire resistance: Dekton Protek (A2 s1 d0), Dekton Slim Protek (B s1 d0) according to EN 13501.

Delta E < 1 after 5,000 h in Xenon Chamber test.

The color does not deteriorate over time.

7 /10 on Mohs scale.

Same classification as quartz.

Resistant to scratches and abrasion.

Dekton Protek

Protek is a reinforcing mesh on the back face of Dekton developed by Cosentino especially for ventilated façade applications to prevent falls due to breakage.

Dekton Slim Protek

Dekton is ideal for any type of facade

Cosentino provides a wide range of certifications and technical data sheets to perform the necessary static calculations for each project.

Ventilated facades

The high strength of Dekton, even in thin thicknesses, as well as its dimensional stability, make it a perfect surface for ventilated facades.

Curtain Wall

Dekton is the ideal surface for the construction of curtain walls thanks to its durability and lightness, with thicknesses of 8 and 12 mm, as well as its stability, equivalent to that of glass.

Bonded Facades

Dekton’s high density and resistance to chemicals and weathering make it ideal for use in direct adhered façades.

Sustainability and energy efficiency

Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must. Architects are taking environmental considerations from the moment design begins.

Cradle-to-grave carbon neutral

  • We offset 100% of the CO2 emissions produced during Dekton’s entire life cycle.
  • We calculate and verify our carbon footprint through accredited external institutions.
  • We reduce our impact. All the electrical energy used in the production is of certified renewable origin.

LEED

  • LEED certification recognizes ecologically committed and highly energy efficient buildings.
  • Dekton allows the achievement of up to 15 LEED credits for projects.
  • Dekton intervenes in the categories of: Sustainable Spaces, Environmental Impact of the Material, Indoor Environmental Quality, Regional Priority and Innovation.

BREEAM

  • BREEAM evaluates the use of sustainable materials and the energy efficiency of infrastructure and buildings.
  • Dekton allows the achievement of up to 14 BREEAM credits for projects.
  • Dekton intervenes in the categories of: Indoor Air Quality, Thermal Comfort, Life Cycle Impact, Material Efficiency and Innovation.
