Dekton price may vary, it depends on the size of the project, the thickness of the slabs and the amount of labour involved in fabricating and installing the ideal surface, but some consumers state that it can be affordable than marble and slightly cheaper than some granite types, mainly due to the fact that the length and width of the slabs has been carefully produced to ensure most projects can work with only a few, as opposed to natural slabs which can be smaller, increasing the overall number of slabs required and therefore, the final price of a project. When working on a new project or renovation, it is imperative to state your budget and stick to it.

Dekton slabs are available in large form at 3200x1440mm and thickness of 8mm, 12mm and 20mm which makes this an incredible versatile material which suits cladding, focal areas, worktop and flooring among other applications

The rich composition of the stone is considered the toughest in the market and can be applied in any indoor and outdoor circumstance.

It is sufficient and does not damage in freezing weather whilst its colour, finish and texture is never altered because its scientifically harnessed properties and unequal level of resistance make it the top applicant for both internal and external floorings and Dekton countertops.
