One of the main benefits of BlogTour Vegas<\/a> and attending KBIS is seeing what\u2019s new in the world of design, specifically, kitchens and baths.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cosentino is the manufacturer of Silestone quartz surfaces which I have specified over the years, most recently in my bathroom here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They invest significantly in R&D and developed an exclusive technology which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years.\u00a0 This results in a product with zero porosity and lack of micro-defects that cause tension or weak spots.\u00a0 Dekton<\/a>, an innovative \u201cultra-compact\u201d surface was born.<\/p>\n

It is made from a mixture of inorganic raw materials found in glass, porcelain tile and natural quartz.<\/p>\n

\"162654012\"

Advantages:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dekton is non-porous and never needs to be sealed.\u00a0 It naturally prevents liquids and gasses from penetrating the surface, making it a low maintenance surface that is easier to clean.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"

With over 5 times the strength of granite, Dekton can be installed in thinner material over greater spans allowing for up to a 12-inch unsupported overhang on countertops, islands and bartops. Dekton\u2019s high compressive strength makes it an ideal material for walkways, pavers or driveways.<\/p>\n

Dekton is the most scratch resistant surface on the market.<\/p>\n

\"\"

While other surfaces are stain resistant, 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 chemical resistant.\u00a0 Drips or splashes of common household chemicals like bleach, drain cleaners or oven degreasers won\u2019t harm Dekton.<\/p>\n

It comes in sheet sizes 126\u201d x 56\u201d so is perfect for vertical surfaces like exterior facades:<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dekton is currently available in three collections \u2013 Natural, Solid and Tech and 13 white, grey, black and natural stone colours<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I\u2019m in love with Naone from the Natural collection which mimics a veined white marble:<\/p>\n

\"\"

This is Ananke from the Solid collection and it mimics a black wood finish:<\/p>\n

\"ANANKE

I think this colour, Strato, from the Tech Collection just may be my favourite as it simulates concrete in both look and feel.\u00a0 I love the warm tone:<\/p>\n

\"TECH

Pretty cool, right? I can\u2019t wait to receive samples and show them to clients.\u00a0 The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

Thanks Dekton for being a BlogTour Vegas<\/a> sponsor!<\/p>\n
