Dekton Taga
Cosentino Dekton Taga displays broad coloured waves and swirls and fascinating streaks with continuous veining throughout the slab. Read More
Dekton Taga, like its counterpart Dekton Arga, takes inspiration from the famous Taj Mahal quartzite combining natural beauty with the technological Stonika’s strength.
A Dekton Taga countertop is so desirable because it beautifully resembles the appearance of marble while having more hardness and durability than granite.
Cosentino Dekton Taga displays broad-coloured waves, swirls, and fascinating streaks with continuous veining throughout the slab. Moreover, its shades are soft, with creamy beige and tan marble-style veins. Altogether, the hue of this worktop is neutral, and it fits nicely in modern and pragmatic kitchens.
With revolutionary design and manufacturing blended with gorgeous raw materials, the Dekton Taga XGloss 322 x 144 cm slabs offer a new way to decorate interiors and outdoors without compromising perfect functionality. You can choose from 8 mm, 12 mm, 20 mm, and a gorgeous polished finish.
Dekton Taga vs Arga: Modern Spaces vs Classic Designs
Dekton Taga, like its counterpart Dekton Arga, takes inspiration from the famous Taj Mahal granite. However, whilst Arga focuses on classic aesthetics, Dekto Stonika Taga is a more modern version that retains the quartzite’s personality. The stone offers overall greyish tones with dominating marble and sparkling veins. The brilliant lustre and aesthetic beauty make it a luxurious work surface.
Taga offers so much personality that you don’t need to do much more with your design after your install it. You can even pair it with plain-coloured kitchen cabinets as a backsplash, kitchen island wrap-around, or fireplace wall panel.
Revolutionize Your Home Set-Up With a Dekton Taga Kitchen
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. As a result, it results in advanced stain-resistant nanotechnology, UV rays protection, water resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
Our Taga 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 Taga Sizes, Thicknesses, Finishes
- Slab Size: Dekton’s huge slab size of 3,200 x 1,440 mm covers many areas, minimizing 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, smaller stone pieces mean more cuts, more sides to polish, and, ultimately, more upkeep. With Taga, 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 most thickness options. You can select Dekton from thicknesses of 0.8 cm, 1. 2 cm, and 2 cm.
- Finish: Dekton Taga belongs to the Stonika Collection and is available in a polished finish that suits any design style.

7 Advantages for Your Home and Office with Dekton Taga Countertops
Dekton possesses all the technical criteria necessary to change any interior or outdoor residential design concept to a highly resistant surface.
- Wide Range of Colours: Fifty different Dekton colours across seven collections exist. Dekton's Collections encompass unlimited 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. 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. In contrast, 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.
- 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.
- Low Maintenace: it doesn't require sealants, additional coatings, primers, or enhancers. 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.
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 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 is always less than 11% by weight.

Dekton: 25-year warranty
Besides technical superiority, originality, and style, Dekton offers a 25-year warranty on its designs.
You must provide your invoice/receipt when filling out the Dekton warranty form within 6 (six) months of your purchase to activate your warranty.
If you don't activate your warranty within this period, you will enjoy the same benefits for 2 (two) years.
To install Dekton, you must first ensure that the surfaces are clean. After that, you can use acetone and soap. Then, you must ensure that the substrate (kitchen cabinets, bathroom units, etc.) are level and flat.
Reinforce the worktop's weakest points (the cutouts) as needed.
First, carefully place the panels over the cabinets during installation, ensuring the seams fit perfectly. Then, with the pieces in place, lift each panel and fix them with adhesive. You can make adjustments to the parts outdoors to avoid dust spreading. Finally, remove any glue and silicone excess with acetone and soap.
The below video shows an entire Dekton worktop installation by Cosentino:
Dekton is virtually stain-proof, and quartz is stain-resistant. Whilst quartz may stain with bleach and turmeric, Dekton does not. Dekton can withstand temperatures of up to 300 Celsius, and quartz tolerates up to 150 Celsius degrees. Dekton does not discolour when you expose it to direct sunlight for long periods, but quartz does.
Dekton is more rigid than quartz, making it more prone to edge chipping.
Dekton offers effortless and negligible maintenance. Clean Dekton using warm water, soap, and a sponge. Then, dry with a paper or towel cloth. If needed, use a window cleaning spray (for example, Windowlene) or any ph balanced soap.
Dekton worktops usually cost slightly more than quartz, typical granite, and marble. Nonetheless, Dekton is priced similarly to other popular worktop materials, starting at £169 per square metre. However, final prices vary according to the worktops' features, edge type, and the site's location and accessibility.
Dekton worktops are available in five different thicknesses: 4 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm. However, not all colours come in all five thicknesses.
You can choose the Dekton colours from these five different thicknesses: Sirocco, Sirius, Trilium, Zenith, and Halo. Then, there are 22 Dekton colours available in four thicknesses ranging from 4 mm to 20 mm. And you can also choose from 24 Dekton colours available in the three most popular thicknesses of 8 mm, 12 mm and 20 mm.
