During the renovation and construction of a house, we often face the dilemma of what material to choose for the flooring. Reputable brands offer a multitude of colors, patterns, structures, as well as formats, so sometimes it is difficult to make a final decision. In such situations, you can trust the knowledge of professionals. Made from a blend of raw materials used for glass, porcelain and quartz, Dekton tiles and Silestone mineral surfaces are characterized by exceptional strength and durability. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, stairs and terraces, where they can withstand daily use without losing their color, luster or beauty.

Dekton floors — large format and minimal joints
Whether looking for a durable and attractive floor for the kitchen or a non-slip surface for the bathroom, Dekton boards are often referred to as the best flooring solution. Due to its large format and mechanical resistance, Dekton works well as both outdoor and indoor flooring, offering visual continuity (for example, if you want a combined floor pattern in the living room and outdoor terrace). Dekton colors are available in 5 thicknesses: 4, 8, 12, 20 and 30 millimeters. Thanks to Dekton's other applications, this type of flooring can be easily combined with the patterns of kitchen cabinet fronts (using Dekton Slim with a thickness of 4 mm.), wall cladding, countertops, window sills or fireplaces, achieving visual harmony in the interior. Minimal connections can be achieved, among other things, thanks to the large dimensions of the boards 320×144 cm.

Dekton Grip+: innovation, safety and a smooth finish for the most demanding floors
Grip+ technology is an advanced, innovative treatment that gives Dekton's ultra-compact surfaces exceptional slip resistance and maximum safety for use without sacrificing the material's aesthetic properties. The non-slip Grip+ solution works on the most demanding floors, both indoor and outdoor. Dekton Grip+, which with its texture and smoothness resembles a standard material finish, provides both safety and comfort when walking on the floor barefoot. Grip+ combines the non-slip innovations and solutions that Cosentino has been developing for years. The material is ideal for frequently used public areas, sidewalks, ramps, patios and surfaces around pools, showers or spa areas.

The new technology is a true revolution, proceeding by modifying the Dekton surface structure in a controlled manner. Grip+ is combined with the material before the particle sintering process, becoming part of the molecular structure of the surface. The lightly textured surface is homogeneous, uniform, pleasant to the touch and extremely easy to maintain. Using Grip+ anti-slip technology provides Dekton surfaces with a higher safety rating and helps avoid potential accidents. This feature is added to a long list of properties that define this surface made of quartz, glass and porcelain. Thanks to its nature and innovative manufacturing process, Dekton features advanced resistance to scratches, stains, high and low temperatures and UV rays.

Silestone — a mineral surface for creating high-quality flooring surfaces
Silestone is made mainly of natural quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals on Earth. As a result, the floors are characterized by exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical damage, which makes them an ideal choice for intensively used spaces. One of the main advantages of Silestone floors is their extraordinary aesthetics. The material is available in a wide range of colors, patterns and textures, allowing you to match the floor to any interior style. Whether you prefer modern minimalism, classic elegance or rustic charm, Silestone offers solutions that will meet your aesthetic expectations.

Silestone is distinguished by its low porosity, which makes it an excellent material for floors. Porosity refers to a material's ability to absorb liquids and substances. The lower the porosity, the lower the risk of stains, dirt and moisture penetrating deep into the surface. Thanks to its low porosity, Silestone floors are stain resistant and easy to keep clean. The surface of the material is smooth and impermeable, which makes it impossible for liquids and other substances to penetrate the floor structure. As a result, most stains can be easily removed with ordinary cleaning products and a damp cloth.

Silestone's low porosity is particularly beneficial in kitchens, where there is often a risk of stains caused by spills of juice, wine, coffee or oil. As a result, Silestone floors are resistant to discoloration and permanent damage from contact with such substances. In addition, the material's low porosity contributes to its hygienic properties. The surface of Silestone is impervious to bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, providing an environment that is not conducive to the growth of germs. This is especially important in areas where keeping the floor clean and hygienic is a priority, such as bathrooms and commercial spaces. In addition, Silestone is resistant to chemicals such as detergents and acids, providing additional protection and longevity to the floor.
All in all, floors made of Dekton and Silestone cladding are the perfect solution for those looking for a durable, aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-maintain flooring surface. They offer not only high quality and resistance to damage, but also a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing them to match any interior. Whether you need flooring for your home, office or commercial space, Cosentino's large-format surfaces meet all expectations, in terms of both functionality and visual impact.
