DEKTON
Essential Living , utilised Dekton ® in a large redevelopment project , Vantage Point Archway Tower back in 2017 , making this an easy decision for subsequent projects .
With high rise façades being one of the key news topics in the UK , the imitable benefits of Cosentino ’ s revolutionary Dekton ® material , including safety , sustainability and energy efficiency , are all paramount considerations , especially within living quarters . Boasting LEED ** and BREEAM *** certifications in environmental and sustainable design , as well as the highest classification in terms of fire resistance : A2 s0 d1 for 12 mm , Dekton ® by Cosentino ’ s durability , ease of installation , consistency in colour and thickness as well as high scratch resistance and low porosity makes it the ideal surface for façades .
Dekton ® also offers high resistance to ultraviolet rays , frost and thawing , as well as colour stability and high stain resistance , which results in it being an ideal material for use on exterior ventilated façades . Cosentino ’ s National Façade Manager , Simon Hope comments “ This project demonstrates both a practical and aesthetically pleasing façade , which integrates with the window layout while complementing the innovative location . The result is a striking finish utilising a product that benefits from strong eco credentials and cutting-edge technology - all helping to meet the client ’ s brief .”
In addition , carbon neutrality has been achieved for the entire life cycle of Dekton ® , from the extraction of the raw material and the calculation of the direct and indirect emissions from its production cycle ( and those derived from its use ), to the end of the product ’ s life . This milestone is a result of the strong measures taken by Cosentino to achieve greater efficiency in terms of energy , consumption of resources , use of renewable electricity and sustainable mobility policies .
