How Does Dekton Compare to Quartz Engineered Stones?
With porcelain as its main component, Dekon’s manufacturing process is incomparable to other manufactured stones on the market, which use quartz as their base.
When comparing Dekton’s porcelain base to the typical quartz-base of other engineered stones, durability and scratch resistance is one area where they differ. While both materials are scratch-resistant and durable when utilising quartz cutting boards for knives and trivets for hot pans are recommended to protect the benchtops from harm.
On the other hand, with Dekton stone, you can cut your vegetables straight on the benchtop if you want to. Plus, the glue used to produce most quartz engineered stones make the benchtops heat-sensitive, so putting a hot pan on the surface is a bad idea. However, you won’t have to worry about this with Dekton stone.
In addition, Dekton benchtops thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, meaning homeowners can use the same material throughout their home for a cohesive aesthetic. Unlike quartz-based engineered stones, which are not suitable for outdoor placement.
Can Dekton be Used Outside?

Dekton benchtops provide strength and style to any outdoor space, giving them an undeniable personality and unlimited practicality. Dekton stone will resist even challenging use over time from stains, bumps, utensils, and high-temperature while maintaining its unchanging beauty.
