Dekton worktops, supplied & fitted
Dekton, made by Cosentino, is an ultra-compact surface fused under extreme heat and pressure. It's heatproof, scratch resistant and UV-stable, so it works in the kitchen and outdoors.

Dekton is made from a blend of the raw materials found in glass, porcelain and quartz, sintered at very high temperature into a dense, almost non-porous slab. The result is one of the toughest worktops you can buy: you can put a hot pan straight on it, it won't fade in sunlight, and it's highly resistant to scratches and stains.
It suits modern, minimalist kitchens, with matt concretes, stone-looks and dramatic veined designs, and slim profiles that are hard to achieve in natural stone. It's also our go-to for outdoor kitchens and barbecue areas.

- Non-porous: no sealing

Worth knowing

What does a Dekton worktop cost?
Dekton and similar porcelain surfaces typically cost around £350–£700 per square metre supplied and fitted, roughly £1,900–£3,800 for a typical 5–6 m² kitchen. See our worktop cost guide to compare with quartz and granite.
Dekton for outdoor kitchens
Because it's UV-stable and frost resistant, Dekton is one of the few worktops that can live outside year-round without fading or cracking. It's ideal for barbecue islands, outdoor bars and garden kitchens.
Living with Dekton
Clean it with warm soapy water; it never needs sealing. The one thing to watch is impact: a heavy pan dropped on an edge can chip it, so we recommend an eased or slightly rounded edge rather than a razor-sharp one.
