Tile keeps getting larger & larger. One of the hottest trends in the tile industry is large format tile slabs, like Dekton.
San Diego Marble & Tile hosted a demo & training on installing Dekton by Cosentino. I'd enjoyed learning about Dekton, so I wanted to share with you some highlights of why I think Dekton is unique product.
One of the breakthroughs Dekton created is a one piece pre-sloped stone shower pan. With this shower pan, you have the prep work, waterproofing, and finished product all in one piece.
Dekton is a ultra compact natural stone. Cosentino created a process that mimics the natural creation of stone, by taking a mixture of over 20 natural minerals and compressing them in a one of a kind press that generates 25,000 tons of uniform pressure.
The result is creating in a few hours, what nature creates in thousands of years...but with no weak points and almost 0 porosity.
Here are the top 5 benefits of Dekton & why it might be the best option for your home:
1. No Grout joints, literally 1 tile can cover your entire shower wall. It can also be used for flooring, countertops, or cladding.
2. Low maintenance...can use any cleaner even bleach or acetone. Dekton won't scratch either, so it will look amazing forever.
3. Can be used for interior or exterior applications,
4. Lightweight, compared to standard slabs. a 4cm panel weighs only 98 lbs.
5. Easy to cut, it can be scored & snapped.
I've installed many large format slab tiles, but never with the tools that are now easily available. @RUBITools has many tools available to make the installation process alot easier.
I'll be posting a video next week, sharing tips on how to install it & demonstrating the tools that you'll need, so be sure to subscribe & turn on notifications so that you don't miss it!
