Experience the resilience of Cosentino Dekton® countertops

Dekton® combines the best qualities of porcelain, glass, and quartz to create a truly revolutionary surface. It’s a technical ultra-compact stone manufactured using exclusive technology that causes mineral particles to bond with each other. This advanced process mimics how natural stone is formed deep underground, achieving what nature takes thousands of years to perfect within hours.

There are a wide range of benefits in choosing Dekton® for your worktops. Whether dealing with hot pans, accidental spills, direct sunlight, sharp objects, or extreme temperature changes, Dekton® is built to withstand the demands of daily life with ease. It’s also fire-resistant, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind in the kitchen. And maintenance is a breeze because it only needs a quick wipe-down to keep it looking pristine.

With Dekton®, finding the perfect colour to match your kitchen design is easy. An extensive range of colours, textures, and finishes offers many possibilities to suit your style and preferences. From elegant whites and creams to sophisticated greys and bold, dark hues. You can choose from solid colours for a sleek modern look or explore designs that mimic the beauty of natural stones like granite and marble.

Just like Dekton®, Silestone® boasts many benefits too. It’s scratch-resistant and can handle metal objects, such as keys and pans, moving across the surface.

And it’s also an extremely durable surface that will last for decades.

Silestone® is available in three luxurious finishes and a wide variety of colours, allowing you to effortlessly find the perfect match for your kitchen design.

Embrace the natural beauty of Cosentino Sensa® Granite

Sensa® embodies the timeless beauty of natural stone, extracted from the depths of the earth, and skilfully crafted into exquisite slabs. Each slab is a testament to the uniqueness of nature, showcasing distinct patterns and colours that ensure no two Sensa® granite worktops are the same.

What sets Sensa® apart from other granites is Cosentino’s exclusive anti-stain protection, demonstrating their commitment to both aesthetics and practicality. With this innovative feature, Sensa® granite offers enhanced durability and longevity, eliminating the need for frequent sealing and extending the life cycle of your worktop. It’s highly stain-resistant, low-maintenance and easy to clean.

When it comes to colour choices, despite being restricted to what nature naturally provides, Sensa® offers an incredible array of colours and patterns, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your kitchen, ranging from creamy neutrals to striking greys and even vibrant orange tones. Whether you prefer classic textures that exude timeless elegance or dark contrasts to make a bold statement, Sensa® worktops have a spectrum of choices to suit every taste.

Explore the versatility of Cosentino worktops

Cosentino worktops offer limitless design possibilities, allowing you to create a truly unique kitchen tailored to your preferences.

There are many popular design concepts to consider. There’s the waterfall worktop, where the surface gracefully flows down the sides of a kitchen island, creating a striking visual statement and a sense of continuity. You can mix and match different worktop materials and colours to achieve a captivating contrast or complementary look. You can pair the worktop with a flush-mounted hob and integrated sink with drainer grooves for seamless integration and a sleek, contemporary look. And you can add shapes, curves, and even LED strip lights for softness and ambience.

Choosing the perfect Cosentino worktop for your kitchen

Several factors must be considered when selecting a Cosentino worktop to ensure it perfectly suits your needs and preferences. One crucial aspect is your lifestyle and how you use your kitchen. If you’re a messy cook or have young children, opting for a worktop with high stain and heat resistance, such as Dekton®, is a wise choice. Silestone® and Sensa® are also stain-resistant, but you need to be careful with hot pans and always use a hot pad or trivet.

When it comes to colours and patterns, selecting options that complement your kitchen décor and overall design scheme is crucial. Consider the existing colour palette in your kitchen, such as cabinets and flooring, and choose a Cosentino worktop that harmonises with these elements.
