SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HELPS US TO DEVELOP NEW MATERIALS THAT IMPROVE LIFE IN OUR HOMES The sophisticated raw materials used to make DEKTON can also be used in the production of quartz, glass and porcelain. In mere hours and through a unique technological process; DEKTON reproduces what nature has taken thousands of years to produce. The result is a slab with exclusive technical features and aesthetics, with endless applications for both indoor and outdoor use. Due to its properties, DEKTON is a unique material in the world, as it has the highest quality and technical characteristics among...

PROPERTIES From the outset, DEKTON has been designed so it can be used on almost all existing applications in regard to construction surfaces. Currently its main features are as follows, although new generations of DEKTON that are being developed will mean it can be used in other types of more specialised applications. LOW WATER ABSORPTION COLOUR STABILITY DIMENSIONAL STABILITY ABRASION RESISTANT STAIN RESISTANT RESISTANCE TO FREEZING AND THAWING SUPERIOR MECHANICAL RESISTANCE MAXIMUM RESISTANCE TO FIRE AND HEAT FIREPROOF MATERIAL HIGHLY SCRATCH RESISTANT SUITABLE FOR CONSTANT CONTACT WITH...

TECHNOLOGY: ULTRA-PERFORMANCE AND ULTRA-COMPACT MANUFACTURING PROCESS RECEPTION AND PREPARATION OF RAW MATERIALS At the very start of the process, the quality of the raw materials is controlled to check their suitability. All raw materials are stored separately to prevent cross contamination. Raw materials are transported by a system of conveyor belts, from their location to a series of hoppers or purification systems designed exclusively for this process. GRINDING AND STANDARDISATION From the hoppers or purification systems, the DEKTON formula is transported to a wet grinding process,...

ULTRAPERFORMANCE DEKTON's superior technical characteristics offer unique resistance to UV rays to maintain a stable colour in outdoor spaces, resistance and exceptional performance. The product has excellent resistance to impacts, scratches and abrasion and therefore can be used in high traffic areas. It also offers thermal shock resistance to heat, frost and thaw, so the product can be used outdoors in all weather conditions. This powerful combination allows the use of DEKTON in many indoor and outdoor applications. ULTRACOMPACT DEKTON is a sophisticated blend of raw materials, using a...

FORMATS: FREEDOM OF DESIGN DEKTON is presented in large format slabs with minimum thickness, expanding the design possibilities to previously unknown possibilities. DEKTON slabs measures 3200 mm. x 1440 mm. and thicknesses from 8 mm. to 20 mm. depending on the applications, design or desired effect. Asides from the huge advantage of its size, the 3D design completes its extraordinary ability to be produced in a much more clean, complete and bright way, as well as designing seamless, uninterrupted and unlimited surfaces and spaces, where colour and texture flow freely in all directions and...

APPLICATIONS: VERSATILITY

ENDLESS APPLICATIONS SO THAT THE DESIGN FLOWS IN ALL SPACES. INDOORS AND OUTDOORS. DEKTON is a new product-leader that is demonstrated in all fields, in all spaces, indoors and outdoors, and in all scales. Endless applications so that the design flows. In the DEKTON manufacturing process, up to 16 different decoration techniques are used, which enable a three-dimensional design and countless aesthetic possibilities. With the design potential and features of DEKTON, it exponentially increases the possibility of imagining multiple ambitious, complex and free applications, connecting indoor and...

APPLICATIONS: VENTILATED FACADES The ventilated façade is a high performance constructive solution for building enclosures that take advantage of mechanical anchoring elements, a metal structure is used to attach the cladding material to the wall of the building. Between the inner and outer cladding layer, an air chamber is created which generates a micro-ventilation effect by convection. The mechanical and aesthetic properties of DEKTON, make it an ideal material for this application, and also for other types of façades, such as attached façades, curtain walls, etc. ADVANTAGES ENERGY...

ANCHORING SYSTEMS FOR DEKTON CONCEALED FASTENING THROUGH REAR UNDERCUT ANCHORS The structure consists of profiles and clamps. These clamps are attached to the existing support, through appropriate sized plugs for this support. The horizontal profiles will be subsequently attached to the mullion profiles. The DEKTON pieces will be hung on these horizontal profiles. The design of the structure must provide for the absorption of thermal expansion and contraction, as well as possible movements of the support, without the cladding being affected by the tension. Recommended thicknesses: 12 mm. and 20...

VENTILATED FACADES

APPLICATIONS: CLADDING DEKTON is an ideal solution for covering interior and exterior walls, as due to the ultra-compaction of each slab in the manufacturing process under a pressure of 25,000 tons, its high resistance, easy to clean and versatile formats and textures, provide the freedom to unify both indoor and outdoor spaces, enjoying exclusive aesthetic values without sacrificing comfort, maximum performance, durability and safety. PROPERTIES THAT MAKE DEKTON IDEAL FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR COVERINGS. Colour stability. High flexural strength. Excellent dimensional stability, reduced joints....
