Spring ascends on South Africans with a vibrant sense of reawakening, enticing homeowners to venture into the glorious sunshine and sounds of nature just beyond their back doors. For those who dare to reimagine their outdoor entertainment area this season, Dekton makes the cut for extraordinary exteriors, in every way! 

With crisp, bright features and fresh, tropical colour palettes at the forefront of current design trends, discerning homeowners are turning to smooth surfaces and clean lines to enhance the organic beauty of garden surroundings. With a braai at the heart of many South African homes, using stone surfaces around your grilling area can create a stunning focal point for lazy afternoons and fireside fiestas.

One material that offers a flawless blend of style and functionality for patios and exterior features is Cosentino’s spectacular Dekton range. Perfect for countertops and cladding, flooring and facades, Dekton not only adds aesthetic appeal but also sweetens the overall experience of gatherings with family and friends.

What makes Dekton the ideal outdoor surface?

It’s robust and highly resistant to the elements

Dekton is renowned for its durability. It is resistant to fire, which adds an extra layer of safety for those summer braais. Dekton’s heat resistance also makes it ideal for areas where hot objects may be placed, such as around grills or outdoor kitchens.

Dekton’s UV resistance also ensures that prolonged exposure to sunlight won’t diminish its colour or cause damage, keeping your outdoor space beautiful all year round, for years to come.

Dekton is effortless to maintain

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘easy’ don’t always go hand-in-hand. We believe they should – the ultimate luxury of anything should be just how effortless it is, and Dekton is the set-in-stone embodiment of magnificent luxury and minimal maintenance.

Being non-porous, it doesn’t absorb liquids, which prevents mold and mildew growth, and cleaning is a breeze with just mild soap and water. The stone’s high resistance to scratches, stains, and fading makes it an excellent choice against the day-to-day wear and tear of outdoor environments.

Pretty as a picture and practical, too

Dekton’s soft-touch, non-slip finishes provide maximum grip, making it suitable for just about anything, from patio table tops and poolside surfaces. And unlike other traditional stone surfaces, installing Dekton is a piece of cake. Innovative technologies and slim 4mm thickness allow Dekton to be cut three times faster without altering its properties.

Gorgeously guilt-free

Choosing Dekton also means making an environmentally friendly choice. Cosentino’s commitment to what they term “Cradle-to-Grave Carbon Neutrality” ensures that you can enjoy your outdoor entertainment area with a conscience as crystal-clean as your outdoor countertops.

 Integrating stone features in your outdoor entertainment area will not only amplify your home’s exterior beauty but also provide lasting performance and ease of maintenance. Enjoy South Africa’s finest season with family and friends in a stylish space that celebrates the best of our climate, culture and community!
