The Natural Veins of Bianco Eclipse Quartzite, the Velvety Feel of Smooth Matte
Portum has an off-white to pale grey backdrop and deeper tones with a marble look that will provide a beautiful and sturdy surface for your kitchen and bathrooms without being too dominant in the overall design scheme.
Many homeowners like the beauty of genuine stone materials like marble but are put off by its use and care requirements. It is one of the primary reasons why many prefer stones such as Dekton Portum over natural quartzite and marble. Portum is a non-porous worktop that doesn’t require special care. No need to worry about stains from spilt red wine or acidic juices from lemon and orange.
Dekton Portum Has a Quartzite in Matte Finish You Can Use Anywhere
A Dekton countertop provides advantages over other worktop materials such as quartz, marble and granite. In addition, the slabs undergo treatment during the production process. As a result, it results in advanced stain-resistant nanotechnology, UV rays protection, water resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
Our Portum 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.
Dekton Portum 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.

7 Advantages for Your Home and Office with Dekton Portum 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: 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 more 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 degrees Celsius 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 compared to quartz. And, unlike marble, it isn't affected by acids. Instead, spray the surface with any typical household and cleaning chemicals. As a result, 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.
- 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 in 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 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.

Dekton is a magnificent material for fire hearth and chimney external cladding applications because of its linear thermal expansion of: 5.1 and 6.5. 10⁻⁶ • ºC⁻1, allowing you to keep a minimal number of joints.
You can use Dekton on the front or side of chimneys, isolated from the heat by an internal resistive wall. However, the manufacturer doesn't recommend its use within ducts due to the possibility of sudden changing conditions and temperatures.
When comparing Dekton to quartz, the two main differences are that Dekton offers higher heat resistance (up to 300 Celsius vs 150 Celsius for quartz). You can also use Dekton outdoors because it doesn't contain the resins that discolour quartz when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. However, one con of Dekton vs quartz is that the former is a more rigid surface, making it more prone to chipping when a strong impact occurs (on its edges), even though it is not easy to chip Dekton.
No. Dekton is a new generation of porcelain classified as an ultra-compact, sintered stone. It differs from ceramic in terms of the raw materials that comprise it and the manufacturing processes.
