Facades of the future. Materials that are revolutionizing the appearance of buildings

Properly designed facades or entire facades are now increasingly important in the context of creating contemporary architecture and design. Their aesthetics, the materials used, shape, colors and all the design details, are eagerly used by experienced investors to emphasize the character of buildings, reflect their function and attract attention. The appearance of the front walls of newly developed properties is becoming dominated by technological advances, innovative materials such as Dekton and the growing interest in sustainable architecture.

The advanced technologies proposed by Spanish company Cosentino, which produces large-format Dekton surfaces, make it possible to create classic as well as complex and customized facade shapes. The uniqueness of Dekton, in addition to its phenomenal colors, is evidenced by its innovative, above-average performance characteristics. Not insignificant is the 25-year warranty that Cosentino offers on this product. The use of this type of cladding on the front wall fulfills the role of an excellent showcase for a house or building, presenting its unique features and style, whether it be a commercial property or a single-family home.

Key features of facades made of Dekton:

Aesthetics: Dekton facades feature a wide range of colors, textures and patterns, allowing designers to customize the appearance of the facade to suit the investor's specific aesthetic vision. Large-format panels can imitate natural stones or be more modern and minimalist. They are available in thicknesses of 4, 8, 12 and 20 mm.
Durability: Cosentino claddings are extremely durable and resistant to weathering, including UV radiation, rain, frost and temperature changes. As a result, facades retain their appearance for many years without the need for frequent maintenance.
Resistance to stains and abrasion: the surface of the facade is resistant to stains and is easy to clean, making it practical for use.

Low absorbency: due to the low absorbency of quartz sinters, they do not absorb water, which helps to maintain stable building conditions and avoid moisture problems.
Resistance to mold and mildew: Dekton will make your facade resistant to the development of mold and mildew, helping to maintain hygienic conditions inside the building.
Easy maintenance: facades and facades made of ultra-compact sinters are relatively easy to clean and do not require specialized equipment or chemicals for cleaning.
Long life: Due to their durability and resistance to the elements, quartz sinter facades have a long service life and require minimal maintenance compared to some other materials.
Carbon neutrality: Dekton is a carbon neutral product. 100% of the energy used in production comes from renewable sources, and 99% of the water in the manufacturing process operates in a closed loop and is recycled.

Dekton's ultra-compact surface fascinates architects with its unlimited design possibilities and wide range of colors and textures. Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technology developed by Cosentino, the quartz, glass and porcelain particles from which Dekton is made - under the influence of 25,000 tons and 1,200°C - fuse together on a molecular level. Even many years of exposure to the weather do not significantly affect the aesthetics of this type of surface and the sun, rain or frost do not change its properties in any way.

Dekton is perfectly suited for bonded facades and curtain walling. It is also a proven material for use on ventilated facades, which significantly improve the thermal insulation of the building. Thanks to the properties of ultra-compact sinter, it can be applied to both horizontal and vertical planes of a building. This allows it to protect the most critical points of the building and withstand the most adverse weather conditions, while adding clarity to the exterior design. Dekton offers a multitude of solutions in this regard.

When working on a facade project, it is worth turning to the experts at Cosentino, the manufacturer of Dekton surfaces. In addition to product support, the specialists will, above all, provide advice on proven installation systems for this type of structure.
