Dekton Kitchen Worktops & Flooring

One of the main advantages of Dekton worktop surfaces is the ease of cleaning them. Since these worktops are resistant to stains, it is easy to maintain the look of these worktops for many years with a simple, regular cleaning routine.

The best way to clean a Dekton worktop is to simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water after cooking or food preparation. More stubborn stains and spills can be removed by soaking them with warm water and a pH-balanced soap/dishwashing liquid. Let it sit for 15 minutes and wipe off the spill/stain with a soft cloth.

Dried stains can be scraped off with a spoon before following the same method as above to remove the rest of the stain. A point to note here is that you need to avoid using abrasive, as well as acid/neutral based cleaning agents to clean the worktop surface, as they may harm the surface over a period.

Dekton surfaces are easy to maintain and are highly resistant to staining. All required is a bit of cleaning every day to retain their shine for many years. All you need to be aware of is not to use abrasive cleaning products or sharp objects on the worktop surface.

Dekton worktops are non-porous, thus making them resistant to everyday kitchen stains that can otherwise spoil the look of worktop surfaces. The best way to clean them is to use a mild, neutral soap, along with warm water, to wipe the worktop surface. Acetone solvents can remove more stubborn stains that are resistant to standard cleaning agents.

Even though Dekton worktops are highly resilient, make sure to avoid knocks in exposed areas like bevels, edges and corners. Dekton surfaces can also withstand high temperatures, meaning you can place hot utensils, as well as electrical appliances, which emit heat, directly on the surface without worrying about burning or chipping the surface.

Dekton worktops are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. Some of the top-selling colours of Dekton worktops include:

The biggest difference between granite and Dekton worktop surfaces is that Dekton worktops are non-porous. It means they are nearly impossible to stain, unlike granite worktops, which can attract stains over time.

Granite worktops being porous would need to be re-sealed after a few years. However, Dekton worktops do not need re-sealing, thereby reducing the costs related to the same. It makes Dekton a wise choice for kitchen countertops that experience a lot of traffic.

Being non-porous, Dekton worktops are also resistant to stains and scratches. That makes them an excellent choice for homeowners who require an easy to clean and maintain kitchen worktop.

Unlike granite, which can become dull when exposed to the sun for an extended period, Dekton worktops are UV resistant, meaning they can be suitable for outdoor use without worrying about the colour fading away with time. Ensure to choose light colours when using Dekton surfaces for outdoor use, as darker shades can absorb more heat.

On the other hand, granite offers a higher impact resistant since the natural stone is much denser than Dekton. It helps in avoiding chips and cracks when accidental impact occurs.

One of the most significant advantages of Dekton worktops is that they are highly heat resistant. Dekton worktops can handle high temperatures with ease. Hot utensils and appliances that give off heat can be placed directly on the worktop surface without worrying about it burning or cracking under the heat.

Dekton worktops are among the very few worktops that do not burn, scorch or crack when exposed to high temperatures. There is no need to worry about burn marks, as no amount of heat would damage the surface. It makes Dekton worktops an excellent option for kitchens that experience a lot of traffic.

Dekton worktops are also UV resistant and so, can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications without worrying about the surface fading or degrading with time.
