What are Ceramic and Dekton®?

A ceramic worktop consists of sand, feldspar and clay with added pigments. This mineral mix is poured into a mould and heated to 1200 degrees, resulting in a wealth of attractive features.

Dekton® achieves the same properties through an advanced technique, where mineral particles is mixed in a matter of hours, to perform the same process that in nature takes thousands of years. Both ceramic and Dekton® have their beautiful colours and patterns applied as a direct and colourfast print.

Dekton® and ceramic are both very hard and resistant materials, but the surfaces can be scratched.

Dekton® and ceramic worktops with glossy surfaces are visually comparable to the glass surfaces of a hob. There will be minor visible scratches. To avoid scratches, do not drag objects across worktops with a glossy surface

Thicknesses

A standard DFI-Geisler ceramic worktop is 12 or 20 mm thick. However, you can order a 20 mm, 30 mm or 40 mm worktop, if this is a better match for your kitchen design. Dekton® comes standard in 20 mm thickness, but is also available in 12 mm thickness – or 4 mm for use as a splashback.

Daily use

You simply won’t find easier and more robust worktops for your kitchen than ceramic and Dekton®. Both products have a wide range of properties, that make them incredibly comfortable to work with in your daily kitchen life.

The slabs are virtually non-absorbent. In other words, you can spill anything – and simply wipe it up with a wrung-out cloth and any necessary cleaning agents.

Dekton® and ceramics are very hard materials, but the surfaces can be scratched. For example, if a quartz grain gets between the worktop and a pot that is dragged across the worktop.

Traditionally, scratches do not appear in matt and textured surfaces. In glossy and smooth surfaces, even minor wear scratches are visible.

Ceramics and Dekton® are both highly heat tolerant. Ceramics can withstand temperatures up to 250° C. However, we always recommend using trivets.

Design details

Ceramic and Dekton® worktops are available in a wide range of colours and thicknesses to perfectly match today’s modern kitchen designs.

Visible edges are always bevelled 2 x 2 mm.

Colours and textures

There are more than ten stunning colours to choose from when selecting your ceramic worktop. All are UV-resistant and, therefore, won’t fade in sunlight. Dekton® is available in more than 60 UV-resistant colours and patterns, from plain worktops to striking textures that give an appearance of natural stone such as marble.

Sinks

Fitting the sink

Ceramic worktops and Dekton® are available with a flush or undermount sink. In addition, a small number of sinks can be unified: a beautiful solution where the sink is integrated into the worktop.
