What Are Dekton Countertops Made Of?
Dekton countertops are man-made, unlike granite, quartzite, and marble countertops, which are made from natural stone.
Porcelain, glass, and quartz are broken down into small beads and heated to over 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit. They are then compressed at more than 5,900 PSI to form durable Dekton countertops.
