Dekton is made from a secret compostion of selcted minerals, and for that reason it is a brand of its own. Thinking of its process as the hight pressure moulding and high temperature baiking as similar to that of ceramics would not be wrong. However the difference in composistion and finish means that Dekton offers something ceramics doesn't have in terms of style.

Function

Dekton has strength enough as a worktop even in slim versions. Dekton has a hardness score higher than steel. This means that, more than being scratch resistant, it is extremely difficult to cut - except at a specialised factory. It's heat resistance is documented in branded laboratory tests - as well as its scratch resistance and its other features.
