Applications of Dekton
Ventilated Facades
The ventilated facade is a high performance solution for building enclosures which takes advantage of mechanical anchoring elements. Through connections between the cladding material and the mechanical assembly, design loads are effectively transferred back to the structural wall, providing a safe and secure facade.
For facades fixed with glue it is very important to select the appropriate adhesives. Mechanical tie-backs may also be used where needed.
Spandrel Dekton panels are used in place of glazing units in curtain wall systems where it is necessary to hide the edges of floor slabs, celling details, insulation , and other building elements.

Siding
Simple Paneling: The siding of indoor and outdoor walls can be achieved by a single siding system, using adhesive cement plaster directly on the outside of the building or the interior support wall, to which the DEKTON pieces are stuck.
Mixed Paneling: The siding of indoor and outdoor walls by mixed panelling, consists of the combination of cement adhesives, with the use of mechanical reinforcing elements embedded in the separation joints between DEKTON pieces and mechanically fixed to the enclosure.
Dry Paneling: The siding of indoor and outdoor walls by dry veneer, consists of using a metal substructure affixed to the enclosure, to which the DEKTON pieces are stuck.

How do I care for my granite or quartz countertops?
