Why Choose Dekton Arga?
The key to a perfect kitchen or bathroom lies in the details. Here’s why Dekton Arga worktops might be the ideal choice for you:
- Durability: These worktops are resistant to scratches, making them perfect for high-use areas.
- Heat Resistance: You can place hot pans directly on the surface without worrying about damage.
- Stain Resistance: Thanks to their non-porous surface, spills are easy to clean and don’t leave stains.
Incorporating Dekton Worktops in Your Space
How about incorporating Dekton Arga worktops into your home? Consider pairing them with elegant, modern cabinetry to enhance their natural beauty. They’re also versatile enough to complement rustic or traditional decor.
Maintenance Tips for Dekton Arga Worktops
One of the best things about Arga worktops is their low maintenance. Here are a few tips to keep them looking pristine:
- 1. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
- 2. Avoid using harsh chemicals; a mild detergent is usually sufficient.
- 3. Use chopping boards to prevent accidental knife marks.
Effortlessly keep your Dekton Worktops looking their best
First, make sure you handle hot pans with care. Even though Dekton kitchen worktops are pretty heat-resistant, it’s never a bad idea to use trivets or heat pads. This will prevent any potential damage and keep your worktops in top condition.
Now, for daily cleaning, a simple wipe-down with a microfibre cloth works wonders. If you’re dealing with stubborn stains, a mixture of water and a bit of vinegar can do the trick. Avoid harsh scourers; they’re just not worth the risk. Keep things gentle, and these Dekton Arga worktops will stay beautiful for years.
Thinking of installing Dekton Arga worktops in your kitchen or bathroom?

Dekton worktops provide numerous advantages for both home and office environments. They meet all technical criteria to transform any interior or outdoor design into a highly durable surface.
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.

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).
