About Dekton

Not quartz, not porcelain — a sintered surface built for extremes.

Dekton, made by Cosentino, is a fundamentally different category of surface: an ultracompact material created through Sinterized Particle Technology, which compresses raw minerals under roughly 25,000 tons of pressure to mimic — and accelerate — the same metamorphic process that forms natural stone over thousands of years, done in a matter of hours. The result is a surface with essentially zero porosity and exceptional resistance to heat, UV, and scratching, making it one of the few countertop materials genuinely suited to uncovered outdoor use. Because the sintering process eliminates resin altogether, Dekton also won't off-gas or discolor the way resin-bound surfaces can after years of direct sun exposure.

  • Ultracompact sintered surface — not quartz or porcelain
  • Near-zero porosity, no sealing ever needed
  • Exceptional heat resistance — hot pans can go directly on the surface
  • UV-stable, making it a true option for uncovered outdoor kitchens
  • Slabs up to roughly 126" x 56", in 4mm, 8mm, 12mm, 20mm, and 30mm thicknesses
  • No resin binder — resistant to UV yellowing and off-gassing over time

Beyond the Countertop

One slab, five applications.

Because Dekton performs the same whether it's vertical, horizontal, indoors, or exposed to the weather, fabricators increasingly spec it for more than just countertops.

Innovation Lines

Dekton isn't one product — it's a platform.

Good to know: Dekton typically carries a premium price point reflecting its manufacturing process, but for an uncovered NH outdoor kitchen, it's often more cost-effective long-term than replacing a less durable material after a few New England winters. Cosentino also offsets 100% of Dekton's cradle-to-grave carbon emissions, making it one of the only carbon-neutral surfaces in the category — worth mentioning if sustainability factors into your decision.
Common Questions

Dekton FAQ.

Is Dekton good for an outdoor kitchen in New Hampshire?
Yes — it's one of the few countertop materials genuinely rated for UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles, making it a strong choice for an uncovered NH outdoor kitchen where granite is usually the only other realistic option.
Can I set a hot pan directly on Dekton?
Yes. Dekton's heat resistance is one of its standout properties — unlike quartz, there's no resin binder to worry about scorching.
Is Dekton the same as porcelain?
No — while both are sintered materials, Dekton's Sinterized Particle Technology and mineral composition give it different performance characteristics, generally with even lower porosity than standard porcelain slabs.
Does Dekton scratch easily?
Dekton is highly scratch-resistant due to its ultracompact, near-zero-porosity structure — one of the hardest surfaces available for countertops.
