Notes
Dekton is made using a proprietary process called Particle Sintering Technology (PST), which is an accelerated version of the change that rocks and stone undergo in nature when subjected to heat and pressure over thousands of years. To manufacture Dekton, Cosentino has reduced this process to four hours with extreme heat and pressure resulting in an ultra-compact surface with superior technical characteristics. These include UV resistance for color stability outdoors, exceptional strength and high resistance to impacts, scratches and abrasion for use in high-traffic areas, and very low water absorption. Dekton’s resistance to thermal shock against heat, frost and thawing enables the product to be used in any climate, creating potential for design to flow from the indoors to outdoor spaces using one continuous product. These unique characteristics permit Dekton to be used in multiple applications including countertops, vanities, shower walls, flooring, building facades, decking, and many other architectural surfaces.Additionally, Dekton Aura replicates the elegance and beauty of Calacatta marble with large-scale veining for an impactful design statement. For the first time, Cosentino has developed a slab design with an endless symmetrical pattern. Aura can be composed so that the veining continues from one slab to the next, giving a true mirror effect known as “book-matching”. This represents a true breakthrough in the surfacing industry, offering a large-format slab with book-matching capabilities, similar to natural marble, wood or digitally printed ceramic tiles, but with the unique versatility and performance of Dekton. With these unprecedented design capabilities, Aura offers complete continuity of design in both vertical and horizontal installations, easily adapting to the customer’s preference.

Silestone Coffee Brown, Absolute Green and the six colors in the Stellar Series contain 35 percent post consumer recycled glass content, while Silestone "Dali" is composed of more than 70 percent post-consumer recycled glass.
