Dekton Fossil

Dekton Fossil is a beautiful material to complement any home area without worrying about stains and other issues inherent in the natural, fossilized stone. You can use it as worktops, tables, splashback, floors, murals, and even create art pieces on the walls to match your kitchen surfaces.

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 this sintered stone design in thicknesses. You can choose from 8 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm, and a gorgeous texture known as ‘Smooth Matte’.

Dekton Fossil: The Sturdiest Fossilized Stone You’ve Ever Used

Fossil has the weathered and worn appearance of fossilized chunks providing realistic strokes and flecks put on a stone with a deeper grey backdrop. If you wish to commit to a pure white kitchen but are not ready for such brilliant hues, choosing a Fossil worktop with matching splashbacks will still allow the light to play around the space, making it feel expansive and welcoming.

But if you have a classic kitchen that features modern white cabinets cabinetry with copper accents, a farmhouse sink in this material which you can combine with pendant lights, will add instant comfort and a feeling of antiquity to the room.

Fossil Worktops: high on performance, low on weight

A Dekton countertop provides additional advantages over other worktop materials such as quartz, marble and granite. In addition, the slabs undergo treatment during the production process. It results in advanced stain resistant nanotechnology, UV rays protection, water resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance.

Our Fossil 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 Maintain

Fossil 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 reduction in waste generated. In addition, Dekton products achieved the status of beingCarbon Neutral materialsgoal of the SDGs of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.

Dekton Fossil 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 Fossil, you will forget about all of these inconveniences.
• 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 Fossil belongs to the Natural Collection and is available in SmoothMatte,a natural finish that suits any design style.

Dekton Fossil 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 Fossil making process entails 7 (seven) key stages during its production:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Pigmentation: The brand 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.
4. 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

1. Decoration of the slabs: The manufacturer carefully positions nanoparticles 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
