Living life outdoors is one of the great joys of the New Zealand climate. But both the climate and life can be harsh on surfaces. Dekton by Cosentino is a multipurpose ultra-compact surface that’s durable, low maintenance and impervious to the elements. Plus, its wide range of colours and finishes means there’s a surface to suit every style and setting, making for endless outdoor design possibilities.

Dekton is a sophisticated blend of the raw materials used to produce the very latest in glass, porcelain and the highest quality quartz surfaces. Dekton is highly resistant to UV light, scratches and stains, and won’t fade or degrade over time. Able to withstand high temperatures without burning, scorching or cracking, it’s a suitable choice for hot environments, and naturally resistant to ice and thawing it can also endure cold climates. With these advanced technological properties, Dekton can be used for a variety of functions and surfaces in outdoor settings.

Dekton is a smart solution for paving high-traffic areas, such as walkways, driveways and underneath outdoor tables and chairs due to its high compressive strength and resistance to abrasions. Its large-format sizes allow for continuous surfaces, providing a seamless aesthetic in courtyards, terraces, patios and staircases. It can be used indoors to create continuity between interior and exterior spaces, and no-slip grip technology can be applied to ensure safety around wet areas, such as swimming pools.
