Liquid Embers is a dark coal pattern that describes the chemistry of the minerals. It is reminiscent of lava, the crossroads of ends and new horizons. This design renews insight, power, and imagination wherever cosmic connectivity occurs.
With revolutionary design and manufacturing blended with gorgeous raw materials, the 322 x 144 cm slabs offer a new way to decorate interiors and outdoors without compromising perfect functionality. You can choose Liquid Embers in thicknesses of 4 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm, and a gorgeous finish known as ‘Smooth Matte’. If you prefer a rustic look, you can also select the ‘Textured Matte’ finish for additional visual impact.
Dekton Liquid Embers Description: Liquid Carbon like you’ve never seen
Liquid Embers is a black sintered stone with a wavy pattern and a rough surface. It belongs to a new range of marbled decorative coverings that take inspiration from the many liquid phases. The natural texture of this design may make a kitchen genuinely unique, but if you want a more refined effect, consider adding a matching splashback to highlight its elegant non-glossy finish. The matte finish of this worktop is something to die for.
If you’re fortunate enough to own a property with original features, you can combine them with this surface to add a modern touch. For example, the attention detail in Liquid Embers is perfect for contemporary and minimalistic kitchens, especially if you combine it with pure black cabinets.
Liquid Embers Worktops: high on performance, low on weight
Dekton Liquid Embers comprises raw materials that are crushed, pressed and heated to result in a sintered stone. Sintering is a sped-up variant of natural stones’ changes over millennia, industrially reduced by only forty-eight hours. Cosentino uses heat and pressure to compress and produce the solid ultracompact worktop material with several benefits.
A Dekton Liquid Embers countertop provides additional advantages over other worktop materials such as quartz, marble and granite. In addition, the slabs undergo treatment during the production process to offer advanced stain resistant nanotechnology, UV rays protection, water resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
Our Liquid Embers ultracompact surface has outstanding finishing, long-lasting endurance, and stunning looks. Indeed, this kitchen worktop’s feel and visual experience evoke the beauty of natural materials.
Sustainable Worktops with Lots to Love and Less to Worry About
Liquid Embers is part of this collection of work surfaces that boasts the International EPD System (International Environmental Product Declaration), which evaluates greenhouse gas emissions, the efficiency in raw materials and energy consumption, and the reduced waste generated. In addition, Dekton products achieved the status of being carbon-neutral materials goal of the SDGs of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
Dekton Liquid Embers Sizes, Thicknesses, Finishes
- Slab Size: Dekton’s huge slab size of 3,200 x 1,440 mm covers many areas, minimising the number of joints. In addition, it makes the entire design and installation procedure more efficient and less expensive in terms of installation material usage and effort during its installation. Finally, it includes maintenance, replacement, and restoration. For example, Worktop suppliers must be more careful with grouts and edges when dealing with small panels. Also, having smaller stone pieces means more cuts, more sides to polish, and, ultimately, more upkeep. With Liquid Embers, you will forget about all of these nuances.
- No Joints: Similarly, full-size Dekton slabs require cutting, cleaning, maintenance work, and steps to increase physical attractiveness. Designers have the opportunity to incorporate natural beauty into these essential pieces in a consistent way by eliminating joints and seams. The large stone slabs have beautiful veins, fissures, and patterns best appreciated on a single part of the Dekton slab cut from a single sheet.
- Thicknesses: The stone countertop brand lets you choose from the highest number of thickness options. You can select Dekton from thicknesses of 0.4 cm, 0.8 cm, 1. 2 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm.
- Finish: Dekton Liquid Embersbelongs to the Natural Collection and is available in Smooth Matte and Textured Matte, two natural finishes that suit any design style.
Dekton Liquid Embers provides 7 key advantages when compared to other surfaces
- Durability: Dekton does not eventually fade, and the colour is permanent.
- Large Sizes: Its large slab sizes maximise material use whilst reducing the number of joints on your project.
- Non-Porous: it does not absorb any liquids, making it ideal for areas in continuous contact with water.
- Easy to Clean: Use warm water and soap to clean.
- Stain-Resistant: Resistant to vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, coffee, oil, wine, abrasive acids, oils, etc.
- Scratch-Resistant: Dekton boasts the highest rating in tests for scratch resistance of its surface.
- High-Heat Resistant: it can tolerate up to 300 Celsius without cracking, burning or scorching.
Caring for the nicest, lightest, strongest Dekton Worktop ever
Dekton is a 100% chemical and stain-resistant surface making it the perfect kitchen worktop. A great companion for any activity.
Daily cleaning: For daily cleaning, use a glass-cleaning spray. Then, dry with a paper towel or cloth.
Getting Rid of Tough Stains
- The matte finish is unaffected by any household substance or chemical, making it extremely difficult to stain.
- The polished finish may stain only when in contact for over 24 hours with a strongly coloured, abrasive, or sticky chemical. In these situations, you can use cream detergents with abrasive particles (i.e. CIF Cream) or solvents (i.e. acetone or universal solvent)
Dekton Manufacturing: State of the Art Technology
The Dekton Liquid Embers making process entails 7 (seven) key stages during its production:
- Raw material preparation: the company examines the raw materials for quality and usability. To avoid cross-contamination, the manufacturer keeps all the natural ingredients separately. Then, it moves these materials onto hoppers and purification machines with a conveyor belt.
- Mills and hybridisation: The manufacturer transfers the DEKTON formula from the hoppers or purification systems to a moist grinding process. It blends the different raw ingredients precisely and ground to specific particle sizes. The particle size entirely controls the pace and direction of the chemical process that produces DEKTON. It also influences the product’s ultimate qualities. Following a specific stabilisation time, this combination is kept separately before application.
- Pigmentation: The company uses a sophisticated mixer, diluters, and stirrers during the pigmentation process. Dependent on the colour or finish, this technology can blend inorganic colours with the remainder of the DEKTON composition. Because these pigments are also a component of the material’s chemical process, chemical quality control is comprehensive and demanding.
- Atomisation: The manufacturer atomises and dries the previously coloured formula until it achieves a particular size, grain shape, and humidity. Then, it keeps the numerous powder products in separate silos. In this scenario, humidity regulates these tiny particles’ liquidity, thus depositing in the several receptacles that supply the future decorative surfaces. These travel between the channels that provide other decoration components or allow them to move during blending systems.
Decorating, Shaping, and Baking of the Versatile and Powerful Dekton
- Decoration of the slabs: These nanoparticles are carefully positioned in multiple places on a belt, forming a continuous slab, employing several unique processes for their design and function. The manufacturer creates various aesthetic impacts using these decorating systems. The company can create different effects throughout the slab’s thickness or only on its surface. In all, and during the initial production stage, 16 separate ornamental systems can function independently, together, or in groupings, resulting in an extraordinary creative variety of materials.
- Shaping Dekton: manufacturer divides the continuous slab into various portions that will ultimately be combined to form the final slab, which the brand exposes to an intense ultra-compaction procedure. To accomplish this, Cosentino uses a one-of-a-kind press with particular sizes and global compacting capabilities.
- Thermal process: the manufacturer gives the slab its ultimate physical, chemical, and aesthetic qualities during this stage. It uses up to 1300 Celsius temperatures, ensuring that the different coloured particles respond consistently. Then, the brand converts the raw material and pigments into other transitory composites. Finally, the process regulates these composites using heat to react and take the correct synthesis process.
7 Advantages for Your Home and Office with Dekton Liquid Embers Countertops
Dekton possesses all of the technical criteria necessary to change any interior or outdoor residential design concept to a highly resistant surface.
- Wide Range of Colours: there are fifty different Dekton colours across seven Collections. Dekton's Collections encompass an unlimited number of colour, finish and thickness combinations that you can use anywhere. In addition, the seven Dekton collections cover every design style and theme, namely: Natural, Tech, Solid, Industrial, Liquid, and Stonika.
- Scratch and Abrasion Resistant: the surface comprises 116 mm3 wear volume average abrasion. According to a study about the abrasion wear of natural stones, Dekton provides almost 5.5 times abrasion resistance than white marble, which offers abrasion wear of 22.23.
- Unrivalled Thermal Shock Resistance: natural stones such as marble, granite and quartzite can crack if you place a scorching item when the surface is at cool temperatures. It is because of the shock in changing temperatures between the surface's temperature and the things you are putting on it. But placing sweltering items on manufactured stones such as quartz will burn the resin on the surface, leaving unrepairable scorching. In contrast to all the stones mentioned above, high temperatures do not affect Dekton's surface. You can drag your pans and pots from the oven directly onto Dekton, which withstands up to 300 Celsius degrees of heat.
- Fireproof: Dekton is rated Class A1 (Class A1 has the highest performance and class F has the lowest), according to the UK's BS EN 13501-1 regulation, offering the highest performance regarding reaction to fire. It also means that, unlike many other stones, it can tolerate direct contact with heated cookware, devices, and cutlery without being burned.
- Easy to Clean: Dekton isn't affected by bleach in contrast to quartz. And, unlike marble, it isn't affected by acids. Instead, spray the surface with any typical household and cleaning chemical. Dekton is perfect for quick clean-ups around the kitchen and bathroom.
- Low Maintenace: it doesn't require sealants, additional coatings, primers, or enhancers. Ever. Over time, this surface's technical features save you more time and cost than any other worktop material due to its next to no-maintenance attributes.
- Stain Resistant: It can withstand any cooking ingredient, food and substance, including wine, turmeric, coffee, lemons, ketchup, etc. For the daily cleaning of DEKTON by Cosentino, use Windolene or a similar spray and a soft scouring pad. Otherwise, use water and neutral soap.
Five Additional Dekton Benefits
As a bonus, by choosing a Dekton work surface for your home and offices, you will instantly benefit from five design Extras:
- Dimensional Stability: working with the set Dekton slab sizes of 3200 x 1440 mm allows you and everyone else in your project to plan months before work on site commences, avoiding material waste and saving costs. In addition, because it expands minimally, you can fit it with narrow seams between worktops.
In all situations, the joints will maintain their minimal thickness. - High Mechanical Strength: The strength of the press used to create Dekton is up to 25,000 tonnes, equivalent to 111 Statues of Liberty, giving it the highest mechanical power in its class. Its compactness makes it available five different thicknesses, letting you use it even when your space needs protection from impact and winds.
- UV (ultraviolet) light resistance is excellent: Dekton is extremely UV resistant and does not fade or deteriorate over time in any interior or outdoor application.
- High Resistance to Hydrolysis: It is a process that controls when and to what extent the surface disintegrates. Hydrolysis is another term for the surface splitting of cheaper materials. Dekton's superior resistance is ideal for applications in bathrooms, spas, or outdoor pools and ponds.
- Resistant to Freezing and Thawing: The ability to withstand freezing and thawing: Dekton resistance's against thawing and freezing tests (UNE EN ISO 10545-12), and its use in diverse weathers demonstrate its outstanding performance.
CHEMICAL FORMULATION
Because this stone contains no resins or organic ingredients, Dekton does not employ a polymerisation process during its manufacture, and its chemical makeup is entirely inorganic.
In addition, DEKTON uses several formulas that vary according to the surface type, meaning that the final chemical structure can change without affecting its chemical or physical qualities.
Aluminium silicates, amorphous silica, crystalline silica, zircon, and inorganic colours are a few examples of DEKTON's chemical makeup. The crystalline silica component in all colours and formulations are always less than 11% by weight.
