DEKTON® BY COSENTINO
The production takes a
few of hours, but a
manufacturing plant
can produce up to
2,000 slabs a day.

Composition
Dekton® is made from minerals, which
naturally exist in over 90% of the Earth’s crust.

• Dekton® is a totally inorganic material.


• Dekton® uses inorganic materials not

Product Description & Characteristics


only for the bulk of the product but
also for pigmentation and veining.
• More than 20 different minerals are
used to create a Dekton® slab.

Production
Dekton® uses exclusive TSP Technology (Sinterized Particle Technology), a
high tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic
change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures
and pressure over thousands or millions of years. TSP technology synthesises
truly innovative procedures from the most advanced technology industries.
This evolution represents a technological and industrial leap capable of
generating a new process, a revolutionary material and a leading product.

The production takes a number of hours, but a manufacturing plant can produce up
to 2,000 slabs a day . From start to finish the process includes the following steps:

1. Decontamintaion of the raw materials.


2. Mixing of materials.
3. Addition of pigments
4. Distribution of material on conveyor belts.
5. Volume decoration process.
6. Compaction.
7. Drying and secondary decoration.
8. Sintering.

DEKTON® BY COSENTINO

Compaction
Compaction using a unique press made
specifically to manufacture ultra-
compact panels. Panels are pressed
at 25,000 cubic tons (50,000,000
lb.). This compaction helps to align
particles to achieve zero-porosity by
forcing air and moisture out, hence the
need for the homogeneous particle
sizes. Superficial textures (slate,
wood, leather, linen,etc...) can also be
added during the compaction stage.

process
During this process, the transformation of the raw materials
and pigments takes place By using heat, reactions are
controlled so that the correct synthesis path is followed.

• The kiln is 200 metres (218 yards) long.


• Temperatures reach approximately 1250ºC (2300 ºF).
• The total process time depends on the
thickness of the slab (around 4 hours).

consumption is optimised by increasing the efficiency of
its use, minimising industrial waste generation by 95%.

• Centralised dust collection and purification systems, through 7 bag


filters, are located in different sections of the factory. Bag filters
are highly efficient devices that purify 99% of the emitted dust.

Sustainability in the factory


• Four electric vehicles that transport the product throughout
the factory and from Silestone 3 to the automated
distribution centre. These vehicles do not consume fuel
(which means a significant reduction in emissions compared
to diesel engines) and have an energy saving system.

• Installation for vacuum, treatment and recovery of the fumes


from the kilns. This system can redirect the fumes from the
kilns to the atomisers, using their heat and thus, reducing
natural gas consumption and air emissions. Natural gas
consumption is reduced by 10% compared to conventional
installations and their corresponding CO2 emissions.

• MRD and SPR heat recovery systems in the kilns. These


systems recover some of the heat from the cooling zone
of the furnace to preheat the combustion air. Natural gas
consumption is reduced by 5%, with the consequent decrease
in atmospheric emissions linked to its combustion.

at a European level thanks to the reliability of its data and its scientific bases which
are supported in the methodology and procedures set out by Guinèe et al. (2001). To
calculate the primary renewable energy consumed, the Cumulative Energy Demand
(CED) methodology developed by Frischknecht et al. has been used. (2007).

The impact categories calculated are in accordance with those set out in
Multiple UN CPC codes 2012:01 Construction Products and Construction
Services (version 2.1) and the results were divided depending on the stages
and modules described in section 4. The latest available version of SimaPro
software (SimaPro 8.0.3.) was used to calculate this data. The calculated
impacts are potential and always consider standard operating conditions.

A building is energy
efficient when it is
designed to minimize
the amount of
conventional energy
used on a daily basis.

Dekton® Feroe

Energy Efficiency:
Leed and Breeam
The sustainability of architectural projects has gone
from being an interesting and desirable addition, to
representing a real need that must be considered
from the very beginning of the design stage. A
building or infrastructure will be sustainable as
long as it complies with different criteria, from its
impact on the environment where it is located, to
the origin of the materials used in its construction.

A building is energy efficient when it is designed to


minimise the amount of conventional energy used on
a daily basis. It is not just about saving on the energy
bill. There are many other benefits to this approach:
easier fitting of materials, lower maintenance costs
and reduced obsoletism and material degradation.
In order to undertake the construction of a
sustainable energy building, two types of strategy
must be developed: passive design strategies,
focused on taking advantage of the climate and the
environment in which the building is located; and
active design strategies, such as the use of different
renewable energy sources to supply the building.

LEED
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used
sustainable building rating system in the world. LEED provides a framework for classifying
eco-friendly and highly energy-efficient buildings, and is available for almost all types
of architectural projects. When constructing a building, taking into consideration
LEED certification is key to reducing costs before, during and after the project.

BREEAM
BREEAM is one of the most important and recognised sustainability
certifications in the world. It focuses on assessing the environmental impact of
all types of architectural projects. BREEAM assesses impacts in ten different
categories ranging from ecological land-use to the use of sustainable
materials and infrastructures and buildings energy efficiency. BREAM
encourages the development of projects from a sustainable approach that
generates economic, environmental and social benefits for all those involved
in the construction and subsequent use of the building or infrastructure.

Cosentino designs its materials from an innovative and sustainable


approach that helps architects and designers to meet the requirements
of the BREEAM evaluation system. Both the design of the products and
the materials used in their manufacture are focused on guaranteeing
the lowest environmental impact on each architectural project.
In this sense, the energy efficiency of buildings using Cosentino

Types of Patterns
We have classified our range of colors into three different clusters
of patterns to facilitate the design process. All our portfolio
is labeled as Infinite Pattern, Singular Pattern and Smooth
Pattern, depending on the effect desired for large surfaces and
the placement of slabs adjacent to one another, taking into
account the directionality of the design, shades and variations.

However this classification is merely indicative and


we recommend that you go to our Product to obtain an
individual assessment that guarantees how you can
materialize your project the way you imagined.
Colors and Surfaces

Infinite Pattern
Plain colors or designs with a uniform or
quasi-uniform composition and structure that,
when used for coverings such as floors, walls,
or facades, allows for the random placement
of boards and cut-outs achieving total visual
homogeneity. Recommended for large surfaces.

ToHa by Ron Arad and Avner Yashar. Tel Aviv, Israel


36
PRODUCT & FORMAT DETAILS
Singular Pattern
Designs with chromatic ranges of greater complexity
and very marked directionality, which result in patterns
with a lot of character and variation in smaller pieces and
adjacent placements. We recommend that you consult
our advisors for use on large surface claddings.

Colors and Surfaces


Armonk Professional Center. New York City. USA

Smooth Pattern
Designs with a directionality in the
graphic structure that has to be taken
into account when cutting and placing
adjacent boards, either if continuity
in the holistic design is sought or
otherwise. It is a very versatile type of
pattern but it requires the placement
and cutting of boards accordingly.
Recommended for large surfaces.

12mm (0.471 in) and 20 mm (0.787 in)

Customised Color,
graded in six shades
The Toha skyscraper challenge was
clear from the very beginning: to create,
from a photographic reference provided
by the architecture studio in charge
of the project, a customised color
with a six-shade color transition.

The collaboration between the team


of architects, which received sketches
and feedback during the process, and
the dynamic and well-coordinated
work of Cosentino’s team, made it
possible to overcome the challenge
and achieve a perfect color grade.

Large format
design possibilities
Large-format Dekton® panels were used to give
visual continuity to the building. In addition, the
installation of Dekton® panels had to be done in a
very specific way: angled in a criss-cross pattern,
creating a ventilated façade, unique in the world.

Color Stability
Accelerated Dekton® Aging.

Cosentino has conducted tests on Dekton® surfaces to prove


its stability to ultraviolet light. These tests have been done
in an accelerated ageing xenon arc light chamber.

To do these tests two colors were selected as representative


of the white and black ranges, Zenith and Domoos.

Tests have been conducted with a team model (Q Sun XE 3 HS) with daily
light filters and irradiation of 0.51 W/m2 in 340 n and following a typical
102/18 cycle based on ISO 11341:2004 with the following test parameters:
Dark panel temperature 63ºC, air chamber temperature 43ºC, humidity
30%; 1.42 hours of light/18 minutes of light and water spraying.

After 5000 hours of exposure, samples were measured and compared with a parameter
that clearly determines Color variation. This is ΔE (Delta E) from CIELab. When the
difference between two colors is ΔE<1 this means that both colors can be considered
the same. If the Color change is ΔE>1 then it can be noticed by the human eye.
Customising Cuts & Special Elements

Results of this test:

Dekton® Color Exposure time ΔE*


Domoos >5000 <1
Zenith >5000 <1

These values show that Dekton® is not altered by UV radiation


so it can be used in outdoor applications.

PRODUCT & FORMAT DETAILS

Pieces with unique shapes (L & U shapes)


Corners in façade openings are typically weaker points
where stresses of the building structure or support wall
can be easily transmitted to the cladding causing cracks
to appear. This can be due to several factors such as the
deviation of slabs and beams, differential settlements
of foundations, expansion of the wall support etc.

For this reason, it is not recommended to cut special


shaped pieces (L or U shapes) in facade application.

Example of L shaped piece in elevation and


best layout solutions proposed:
Customising Cuts & Special Elements

In the event that these kinds of shapes cannot be avoided, it is


recommended a minimum radius of 0.40'' in interior corners.

Cut-outs
When cut-outs are to be done on site, the recommended
process is drilling in the corners before cutting.
Mortises need to have drill holes with a minimum radius of
5mm before cutting. These cannot be done too close to edges
and a minimum distance of 2'' to the edge is advisable. Approved disc and bit

Ventilated Facade
The ventilated facade is a construction solution that allows for
the establishment of a physical separation between the exterior
cladding solution and the supporting wall of the building.

This separation creates a ventilated chamber that allows a near


constant flow of air, which allows a series of thermal, acoustic and
functional advantages that give the building great added value.

Joints between panels in


ventilated facade systems
Cladding and subframe should apply joints where building expansion,
compression and structural joints are designed, as well as between panels.

• Structural joints must be placed in the same


position as the ones of the building.
• Compression joints are made horizontally at each level, with a recommended
gap of 15mm (0.590 in). They are commonly used in North America.
• Expansion joints are made vertically, each 6m (19.685 ft), and at 5m (16.40 ft)
from the corner of the building, recommended with 10mm thickness.
• Vertical and horizonal joints between panels are recommended
to have a minimum of 6mm (0.196 in) (butt end joints are not
recommended due to possible tension between panels) and up to
10mm (0.40 in), while 6-8 mm (0.236-0.315 in) is the most common
joint width with minimal penetration of water. The dimensions of
the joints between panels should be made considering the size,
expansion and shrinkage of the panels and substructure.

Pressure Equalized Rainscreen
Pressure equalized rainscreen systems are comprised of an air
barrier, air chamber and rainscreen, which are combined with
compartimentalization and back ventilation to reduce the pressure
diference on the cladding, creating a barrier against moisture.

The variations on air presure that act on the rainscreen is equalized


by joints between panels, through which air flows in into different
compartments resulting into cavity air pressure similar to the exterior.

Equalized air pressure within the cavity prevents wind driven rain to
reach the cavity interior, flowing down the cladding panels instead.

The main advantages of this system are:

• Structural joints must be placed in the same position as the ones of the building.
• Compression joints are made horizontally at each level, with a recommended
gap of 15mm (0.59 in). They are commonly used in North America.
• Expansion joints are made vertically, each 6m (19.685 ft), and at 5m (16.40 ft)
from the corner of the building, recommended with 10mm (0.393 in) thickness.
• Vertical and horizonal joints between panels are recommended to have a
minimum of 6mm (butt end joints are not recommended due to possible
tension between panels) and up to 10mm (0.393 in), while 6-8 mm (0.236-
0.315 in) is the most common joint width with minimal penetration of water.
The dimensions of the joints between panels should be made considering
the size, expansion and shrinkage of the panels and substructure.

DKT1 - Case Study

Thickness
12 mm (0.471 in)

For the refurbished façade of the


iconic Cap Ferrat building,
40,900 sq ft. of the ultra-compact
Dekton® surface by Cosentino
was used.
Cap Ferrat is an iconic residential building located on the
exclusive Avenida Vieira Souto in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro.
Built in 1976, this 20 storey landmark of the Ipanema
district has a surface area of 21,500 sq ft. and is home to
apartments, duplexes, garages and communal areas.

Forty years after it was built, the tower underwent


a project between 2013 and 2016 to refurbish the
cladding of its balconies. These had deteriorated
due to galvanic corrosion of the aluminium railings,
which had caused the original granite cladding of the
perimeter girders of the tower’s six balconies to crack.

Having analysed the performance of various


materials, the architectural studio in charge of the
project, Di Filippo Arquitectura, identified Dekton®
as meeting all of the essential requirements.

TYPES OF FIXING

The biggest challenge faced by the project team


was to find a new cladding that could be installed
over the original material and would entail a
maximum load of 90 kilograms per square metre.
In addition, due to the building’s proximity to the
sea, the chosen material needed to match the
exterior aesthetic with a subtle tone that blended
into the surroundings as well as having mechanical
properties to withstand the environmental
damage that is common to such locations.
DKT1 - Case Study

Di Filippo Arquitectura chose Dekton® by Cosentino


for the façade for various reasons: it represented just
50% of the permitted load for the material, it can be
manufactured in large format, bespoke slabs
(56´´x 126´´), the precision cutting of pieces, its
optimal performance against sand and saltwater
erosion from the beach, and its other exceptional
qualities such as its high resistance to ultraviolet
rays, its Color stability and high resistance to stains.

“When we decided to maintain the Last but not least, we needed a
existing cladding, we were faced with material with a low level of solar

it must have minimal porosity to well as being available in a Color that

it must be able to be installed using a Having analysed various materials,

by Cosentino was chosen. It fulfilled
all the requirements of the project.”

DKT1 - Case Study

The 12mm (0.471 in) -thick pieces were cut and the
exact number, dimensions and location of holes
were made at the Cosentino factory in Cantoria,
Almería, before being shipped to Brazil. The
holes made were the result of a ground-breaking
attachment technique developed for this project
by the company GMM Anchor Systems, supported
throughout by the Cosentino engineering
department. For the anchoring, Keil pieces
provided by Cosentino were used. Other pieces
and metal accessories were produced by GMM.

The Dekton® Color chosen for the façade’s cladding


was the cream tone Danae, for its elegance and
similarity to the Color of the sand on the beach.

12 mm (0.471 in) and 20 mm (0.787 in)

For the ToHa building project in Tel


Aviv, Israel, over 300,000 sq ft. of
Dekton® by Cosentino has been used
to clad the facade, flooring, lifts,
ceilings and interior partitions.
Located in the centre of Tel Aviv at the junction of two
shopping streets, the ToHa building reaches 29 storeys
high. Its unique, faceted profile, inspired by the geometry
of an iceberg, was designed by Ron Arad together with
Avner Yashar’s local team to house an office complex that
includes a public garden, viewing point and restaurant.

Over 300,000 sq ft. of Dekton® by Cosentino was


used to clad the building’s facade, flooring, elevators,
ceilings and interior partitions. The pieces, formed by
more than 10,000 different types, were manufactured
and cut at Cosentino’s headquarters in Cantoria
(Almeria, Spain) and transported by ship to Israel.

TYPES OF FIXING

Architectural and
decorative aspect
of the project.
A key strategic focus of the project was to reduce
the building’s surface area at street level to create
a large garden area, improving the quality of the
surrounding area for the public. As a result, the
building rises up on two huge legs that widen
progressively, framing a spiralled profile.
Geometrically versatile, Dekton® adapts with
precision to the complexity of the building,
thanks to its infinite range of formats, from
minimal thickness to maximum surface areas.
DKBG - Case Study

On the intermediate floors, the broken


perimeter of the concrete slabs is clad with
panels 12 mm (0.471 in ) thick and up to two
metres wide which, thanks to minutely
accurate cutting, define the
vertexes and edges exactly to
create an image of perfection.
170
TYPES OF FIXING
From a functional point of view, this
ambitious project turns the traditional
layout of an office block on its head,
locating facilities on the ground floor to
free up space at the top. This way, the
upper levels can be dedicated to leisure
use and the offices are distributed
up from the seventh floor, optimising
access to natural light and views.

DKBG - Case Study


The technical foundations are clad
using a unique ventilated facade
system that alternates the orientation
of intersecting Dekton® panels.

This application allows for the passage


of air between the large-format (10.5
x 2.29 ft)pieces and creates a uniform
frontage that gives texture and depth
to the elevation. Cosentino also offers
the opportunity to custom-make a
personalised palette of six colors,
based on the Strato model, that
create a progressive color gradation
from the lower part upwards.

171
TYPES OF FIXING
DKBG - Case Study

Inside, a huge 30-metre atrium acts


as a vestibule and meeting point. The
offices face outwards, through a glass
facade, and inwards towards the central
courtyard lit by a large light well.

Finishes have been carefully chosen


to create a comfortable workplace
and coherent corporate image. The
possibility to produce large-format
Dekton pieces for floors, walls
and ceilings allows the number of
joints to be reduced and the sense
of continuity to be maximised.

Shape Alterations
Although Cosentino can supply pieces to specific
measurements, it is possible to cut them on site to
deal with design changes, corners, pillars, etc.
For pieces with interior corners a radius
of at least 10mm should be used.
Pieces will always include a minimal bevel.

Single elements
Screws and mortises for single elements are
made in situ. Therefore, these do not need
to be taken into account when measuring.

PROCESSING & INSTALLATION
Receipt of material
• A good communication flow is recommended regarding
incoming material logistics. There must be proper
coordination between supplier, carrier and recipient of
the goods. It is imperative to obtain delivery information
showing the quantity, the date of arrival and the
specifics of the material to be received in order to
optimise the time on site of the different work teams.

• Always pay attention to the loading and unloading


instructions found on the pallet wrapping.
Unloading the pallet from the wrong position can
significantly affect the integrity of the product.

• The incoming goods must be checked on site immediately


after unloading. The points to be checked are the condition
of the pallet, the number of packages and pieces, and the
integrity of the pieces or slabs. In the case of an incident
during the receipt of the material, a photographic report
will be drawn up and Cosentino´s project manager will be
contacted immediately. Furthermore, whenever possible,
the incident should be recorded on the delivery note.

Movement of Materials on Site


• Knowing how and when the material will be received
will facilitate the correct management of the unloading
at the workplace, allowing the necessary auxiliary
equipment to be prepared, storage location to be
reserved and delivery notes to be correctly kept.

• It is recommended to check the packing


list included in each package.

233
PROCESSING & INSTALLATION

Storage
Assignment of the storage area arranged for the
unloading and storage of Cosentino material.
The area must be clean, level and delimited in a way
that allows an efficient organization of the material.
The area must be situated away from the transit area
on site, in order to ensure the integrity of the product.

Different kinds of packaging according to project.

Recommended storage of the panels:


in a dry place, protected from rain.
Movement of Materials on Site

Frame design for Dekton

Package handling
The transport from the storage location to the installation
site must be carried out by mechanical means (fork-
lift truck, manitou, etc.). The package must be handled
according to the instructions on the package.

It is essential that the staff operating cranes, auto cranes


or fork-lifts are fully qualified and have received specific
training for the task. It must be ensured that the staff in
charge of these activities receive the guidelines provided
by Cosentino regarding the handling of materials.

Scaffolding
There are different types of scaffolding on
the market and any can be used depending
on the project size, the work to be done
and the size of the parts to be fitted:

• Mast climbing work platforms: ideal for


large-format pieces and where loading is
carried out on the same platform, always
in compliance with the loading limitations
according to the manufacturer’s specific
instructions. The length of the platforms can
be up to 1.181''. It is the scaffolding system
most used by Cosentino's customers due
to its versatility and speed of assembly.

• Supported scaffolding with platforms for


unloading material. This type of scaffolding
is ideal for façades with small cuts.

• Suspended scaffolding. They are used for small


jobs, such as replacement or maintenance work,

Adhesion
Chemical anchoring
When installing Dekton on a ventilated facade,
it is important to follow a series of instructions:

• The profile on which it is to be glued must always be in


a vertical position, suitably plumbed and free of tension.

• A panel must be fixed to at least two vertical profiles. Depending


on the size of the panel and the conditions of the project, the
number of profiles needed to fix the panel will be defined.

• Precise positioning of the panel on the vertical profile of the facade is important.

• The application temperature of the adhesive system must be


respected (it is usually between +5°C/+35°C (40-95°F)).

• Adhesive systems must be complete and supplied by a single manufacturer


in accordance with his technical application instructions.

Adhesion

General observations on application,


execution and control of work
• Do not prime or bond in when there is rain or high moisture
content (e.g. heavy fog).

• Avoid risk of condensation on profiles and panels. Profile


temperature should be above dew point.

• Follow the recommended application temperatures, drying


times and application of each component.

• We recommend having a daily control of the work with


information about the installed panels, weather conditions,
construction solutions, system used (components).

• It is recommended that the installation be completed by


companies that have had proper training on this type of system.
For a list of these companies, please contact Cosentino.

HANDLING AND SERVICE

Cleaning and
Maintenance
Dekton® has practically zero porosity, so is easy to clean. Rainfall is effective to
remove any accumulated dirt and to keep the external cladding clean.

But the dirt and soil depends largely on the local atmospheric conditions depending on
the location of the project. In heavily industrialized areas, coastal areas and the areas
where construction works are being carried out, it might be necessary to clean the product
occasionally or on a periodic basis, solely for the purpose of aesthetic appearance.

If Dekton® cleaning is required, the schedule might be adjusted with other cleaning
operations of the external facade for example, glass and painted aluminium components.

If an automatic wall cleaning machine is to be used, a pre-test should be done


in the early stage of equipment design to confirm that there is no detrimental
effect on the panel as well as to clarify the cleaning effect and frequency.

Final Cleaning On Site


After the installation of Dekton®, the surface usually shows remains of work, in
Cleaning and Maintenance

the form of film or small accumulations of cement, lime, epoxy, etc. Therefore, it is
necessary to do a final cleaning job to ensure total cleanliness of the Dekton®.

Cleaning protocol:

A) Prepare the cleaning products and tools


• Descaling detergent. (Acid-based buffer)
• Epoxy remover cleaning product
• High-pressure washer
• Brush or scourer and sponge can be used if a high-pressure washer is not available

B) Procedure
• Mix the acid product and water (according to the manufacturer’s instructions)
• Spread the mix on the facade and leave it for few minutes
(according to the manufacturer’s instructions)
• Clean with a high-pressure washer; if you do not have a high-pressure washer,
it is recommended to scrub with a brush and rinse with a damp sponge.
240
HANDLING AND SERVICE
Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintenance has the important purpose of removing dirt superficially embedded.
Correct maintenance guarantees a natural appearance of the facade.

The site should be inspected on a six monthly or yearly basis, depending upon the
atmospheric conditions where the project is located as defined above.

For cleaning, it is recommended to use a neutral detergent with high cleaning


power, avoiding products with too much soap or presence of wax.

The simplest procedure for cleaning is to spread the solution, following the manufacturer’s
instructions, wait a few minutes and clear out with a high pressure washer; without the high-
pressure washer, it is recommended to scrub with a brush and rinse with a damp sponge.

Stubborn Stains
For stubborn stains, those which have been there for a while, or of a special
composition, that are stuck to the surface and cannot be removed
with daily cleaning, we recommend following the table below.

professional, thereby creating turnkey projects and providing
solutions for each of the phases in a personalised manner.

stone washing machine, and a texturing machine.

Over 187 employees work in the flooring and cladding factory,


with one automatic line that creates large slabs measuring
from 24'' x 24'' up to 56´´x 126´´, and another automatic line
for pieces measuring from 24'' x 6'' in up to a maximum of
the size of the slab itself (56´´x 126´´). Furthermore, more
