Like conventional quartz countertops, Dekton does not need to be sealed for stain-resistance. This puts it well ahead of other materials, including concrete, stone, wood, and quartzite, in terms of low-maintenance. Dekton is available in over 50 colors across 7 different collections. It also comes in a variety of thicknesses for various applications. The standard thickness for kitchen countertops is 2 cm. This means that if you were using the slab for a large island or a countertop and backsplash, you can line up the grain to hide seams and create continuous vein patterns. Dekton is available in looks that can simulate the book-matching effect of natural stone. Dekton is offered in some colors with a flat, textured, or ribbed surface pattern. The textured colors are similar to a leather finish that creates a very sophisticated look.
