Dekton Radium takes inspiration from an oxidised and rusty steel sheet. Dekton Radium was a revolutionary choice for kitchen renovations but was discontinued in 2024. For those looking for similar options, Dekton Domoos and Dekton Sirius offer comparable qualities and aesthetics.
Why Choose Dekton Radium?
Dekton Radium worktops are designed to endure the most demanding kitchens and other wet areas, such as spas and bathrooms. Dekton countertops are resistant to spills, humidity, scratches, and stains and are built to last.
Dekton worktop reviews
While praised for durability and sleek appearance, some find the material brittle, prone to chipping, and difficult to repair.
While some fabricators highlight installation challenges and acknowledge the benefits post-installation, our experienced stonemasons carry out perfect installations in this material, which we have been installing since its launch in 2013. Dekton countertops are ideal for families needing durable interiors, though installation requires experienced professionals for the best outcome.
Durability
Radium worktops are sintered from a blend of quartz, porcelain, and glass, providing exceptional strength and resistance to damage.
Dekton countertops offer similar durability, with the added benefit of being suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, as they are resistant to UV rays, extreme temperatures, and weather conditions.
Easy Maintenance
Maintaining a Dekton Radium worktop is a breeze. They resist stains and are easily cleared with a damp cloth, keeping them looking pristine with minimal effort.
As part of the Cosentino range, Radium requires minimal maintenance, which is a positive aspect of the Dekton worktop reviews—no sealing is needed like natural stone, and it’s easily cleaned with soap and water.
Stylish Design
Available in a variety of thicknesses and slab sizes, Dekton worktops add a dark and elegant modern aesthetic to any space.
Versatile Application
Radium worktops suit any kitchen and bathroom style, indoors or outdoors, from rustic to contemporary. They are also versatile enough for use in commercial spaces. While some Dekton worktop reviews may mention the surface can feel cold to the touch, the sintered minerals actually stay at room temperature, adapting the worktops to their surroundings.
Considering a Kitchen Remodel? Think Dekton Radium
Dekton worktops offer unmatched durability and style, perfect for any kitchen. Imagine a seamless Radium worktop extending to your outdoor entertainment space—enigmatically practical and stunning.
According to the Dekton worktop reviews, Radium can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for all cooking adventures. It’s resistant to stains and scratches, ensuring your kitchen worktop looks fantastic with minimal effort. A quick wipe, and you’re set!

Dekton worktops provide numerous advantages for both home and office environments. They meet all technical criteria to transform interior or outdoor designs into highly durable surfaces.
A Wide Range of Colours
With fifty different colours across seven collections, Dektonworktops offer endless combinations of colour, finish, and thickness. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary designs, the seven collections—Natural, Tech, Solid, Industrial, Liquid, and Stonika—cover every design style and theme.
Scratch and Abrasion Resistant
Dekton countertops offer superior scratch and abrasion resistance, with a wear volume average abrasion of 116 mm3. This makes them almost 5.5 times more resistant than marble, with an abrasion wear of 22.23 mm3, making them ideal for high-use areas.
Unrivalled Thermal Shock Resistance
Unlike natural stones like marble and granite or engineered stones like quartz, Dekton worktops withstand extreme temperature changes. They can handle up to 300 degrees Celsius, letting you place hot items directly on the surface without fear of cracking, burning, or scorching.
Fireproof
Dekton is rated Class A1 according to the UK's BS EN 13501-1 regulation, the highest performance rating for fire resistance. This means it can tolerate direct contact with heated cookware and devices without getting burned, ensuring your kitchen remains safe and durable.
Easy to Clean
Unlike other materials, a Dekton kitchen worktop isn't affected by bleach or acids. Spray any household cleaner on the surface for quick clean-ups, making it perfect for kitchen and bathroom areas where messes are frequent.
Low Maintenance
One of Dekton's biggest advantages is its low maintenance. The surface doesn't require sealants, additional coatings, primers, or enhancers, which translates to significant time and cost savings over other worktop materials that demand regular upkeep.
Stain Resistant
Dekton can withstand common kitchen ingredients like wine, turmeric, coffee, lemons, and ketchup, ensuring your work surface remains pristine. Use a spray like Windolene or water and neutral soap for daily cleaning.
Dimensional Stability
Dekton's large slab sizes of 3200 x 1440 mm allow for efficient planning and installation, reducing material waste and cost. The slabs expand minimally, ensuring tight seams between worktops.
High Mechanical Strength
The pressing process, with up to 25,000 tonnes, gives Dekton its unmatched mechanical strength. Its compactness offers versatility in five thickness options, making it suitable for areas requiring high-impact resistance.
UV Light Resistance
Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, Dekton worktops are highly resistant to UV light, ensuring they do not fade or deteriorate over time.
High Resistance to Hydrolysis
Dekton's superior resistance to hydrolysis makes it perfect for application in bathrooms, spas, and outdoor pools. The surface does not split or deteriorate, ensuring long-term durability.
Resistant to Freezing and Thawing
Designed to withstand diverse weather conditions, Dekton's resistance to freezing and thawing ensures it performs exceptionally well, even in extreme climates.
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.

COLOUR AND TONES
Cosentino assigns numbers to describe tones in the colours (slight changes in coloUr intensity), and each slab is defined by Colour & Tone.
Here are the factors that determine Dekton colours and tone variation:
- Colours in solids: E variant (control with) The slab unit label with Colour and Tone Code reflects the colour and tone.
- The label determines the slab's Tracing and its history. As it progresses through the industrial manufacturing operation via the slab number (batch).
- Spectrophotometer settings: Lab/D65/10o).
- Colours with veins: visible differences (of pattern)
