What is Dekton?



This is made from a high-tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures & pressure over thousands of years. See below for more info.



Qualities that make Dekton the ideal surface for kitchen work surfaces

Highly scratch & abrasion resistant
Dekton is even more resistant to abrasion than granite making it the ideal surface for commercial applications, kitchen work surfaces & high traffic areas such as flooring. While the slip of a knife won’t damage Dekton, cutting boards are still recommended to protect your household utensils.

Maximum resistance to fire and heat
Dekton withstands high temperatures without burning, cracking or scorching. Hot Pots can be placed directly on the surface with no worry of damage.

Resistant to stains
While other surfaces are stain resistant, Dekton is completely Stain Proof. Even the most stubborn stains like wine, coffee and rust can easily be removed from the surface. Since Dekton has extremely low porosity and contains no resins, it is chemically resistant. Drips or splashes of common household chemicals like bleach won’t harm Dekton.

Resistance to freezing and thawing
Dekton’s low coefficient of thermal expansion makes it Thermal Shock proof from both extreme cold & extreme heat. Its natural resistance to ice and thawing makes it perfect for use in even the coldest environments.

Highly UV resistant
Dekton is highly resistant to ultra violet (UV) light & will not fade or degrade over time, thus making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Colour stability
While other surfaces will show wear over time, Dekton’s finish will last for the life of the product and never needs to be re-surfaced or re-finished.

Non-porous (virually zero water absorption)
Dekton is non-porous and never needs to be sealed. It naturally prevents liquids and gasses from penetrating the surface, making it a low maintenance surface that is easier to clean.


More info about Dekton

Dekton uses exclusive Sinterized Particle Technology. This is a high-tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures & pressure over thousands of years.

This evolution represents a technological and industrial leap capable of generating a new process, a revolutionary material and a leading product. Dekton has virtually zero porosity, (a consequence of the sinterization and ultra-compaction process used) and a lack of micro-defects that cause weak spots or tension.

Dekton would not be possible without this special concept of ultra-compaction, allowing Cosentino to produce surfaces of a size & thickness that was previously unimaginable, yet still ensuring extreme levels of performance.

Ultra-compaction is responsible for the material's mechanical properties. This level of compaction contributes significantly to the material's low porosity, making it a low-maintenance, long-life product.

In the development of Dekton, firstly the raw materials are sinterized using basic components to oversee the whole process and the characteristics of the particles used in the manufacturing process. Dekton is the perfect solution for all kitchen worktops.

Should I choose Granite?

Granite gives a classic look that is extremely hard-wearing and resilient. It's unique and beautiful and your worktop will definitely be one of luxury. Why not visit one of the warehouses to choose your own slab? They have a huge selection of granite and quartz. It really is essential to view the whole slab if you are planning to have granite worktops as each slab is unique and you cannot get the whole effect by looking at a sample. Call us to book in an appointment.


Sensa Granite by Cosentino®



Sensa by Cosentino® is an exclusive collection of excellent-quality granite surfaces with a 15-year warranty. During the manufacturing process, each slab receives a revolutionary treatment which is a protection against many common kitchen stains.

This protection ensures that your Sensa by Cosentino® countertop will stay beautiful for years with minimal maintenance. Unlike most granites which require annual sealing, you need not apply any treatment to protect your Sensa granite kitchen work surface and it is really easy to keep clean with needing just water and a mild detergent.

Sensa by Cosentino® granites are extracted mainly from Brazil, except certain materials that are exclusive to other countries. Each slab is exotic and unique, having been carefully extracted using modern equipment to obtain the best quality stone. As granite is a natural stone, its colours and veins vary in every single slab. As you can imagine, this beauty makes every kitchen countertop one of a kind. If choosing granite, bear in mind that samples on display in stores are unique in themselves and will not be an exact match of the end product to be fitted in your kitchen. Slabs vary in veins, tone, saturation, nuances and particle structure. Cracks, marks and impurities are natural in granite, and are not deemed to be faults as they are unique characteristics of stone.






Granite is the ultimate choice of material for your kitchen work surfaces. As natural rock, it is cut in its natural state and polished. Each piece is beautiful and unique, with every section varying in colour and pattern, so if it's a random design you're after, granite is definitely for you.

Our granite comes from several suppliers, one of which is International Stones, who supply a wide range of quality granite to suit any kitchen. Granite is heat, stain and UV resistant although care will need to be taken as with any work surface such as putting hot pans onto trivets and not directly onto the granite.

We encourage customers to visit Beltrami warehouse (in the West Midlands) or International Stones (in Sheffield) if you are choosing granite for your kitchen worktops, as each slab is different, and will look unique in your kitchen, so you can judge just how it will look on a worktop or island. Just call us and we can book you in.

All granite comes sealed when fabricated and depending on the granite selected and where it is being installed i.e. a bar or restaurant where it is getting lots of use, or a private dwelling with less use, it might never need sealing again, or could do every so many years. We can always advise you on this.

As well as being impact resistant, iStone is also available with an optional 25 year stain-proof protection warranty. *

To clean I-Stone granite & to help keep its shine, just use warm water and soap. It is very easy to keep clean and is ideal for buy households where time and ease is of the essence.

*For the 25 year iStone stain-proof protection warranty to be applicable, your granite worktops will need to be treated with a coating that is applied by professionals for an additional charge once your worktops are fitted (which we arrange).
