The four new colors include:
- Halo, with a soft white hue fitting traditional aesthetics and sleek, modern spaces alike;
- Blaze, evocative of a dark-polished mirror in gunmetal gray;
- Splendor, a subtle grey with a modern take on a classic hue; and
- Lumina, a highly saturated, warm taupe bringing an earthy hue juxtaposed with unmatched radiance.
As with other Dekton products, XGLOSS is available is available in 56” X 126”, and in three thicknesses: 0.8cm, 1.2cm and 2cm.
XGLOSS meets the interior design industry’s growing demand reflective. Popular in high-gloss cabinetry, mirrored furniture, and now countertops and surfacing, the style adds a modern finish to any space.
“Just as Cosentino pioneered the development of Dekton as an extremely resilient ultra-compact surface, we’ve continued our innovation with the breakthrough of a nanotechnology treatment that creates an extraordinarily luxurious, shiny finish on these new Dekton colors,” says Lorenzo Marquez, VP of Marketing for Cosentino North America.
The newly developed Nanocoating Process creates a crystalline shine that not only enhances the XGLOSS Series colors but maintains the material’s resistance to scratches, stains, UV rays and temperature shock. Dekton’s durability makes it suitable for an array of indoor and outdoor applications, including countertops, façades, cladding, flooring, stairs and more.
Dekton is made using a proprietary process called Particle Sintering Technology (PST), an accelerated four-hour version of the change that rocks and stone undergo in nature when subjected to heat and pressure over thousands of years. The result: an ultra-compact surface with superior technical characteristics, including resistance to UV, scratches, stains, thermal shock, and very low water absorption.
Its resistance to thermal shock against heat, frost and thawing allows Dekton to be used in any climate, offering potential for seamless design from indoor to outdoor spaces. Such unique characteristics and durability make Dekton ideal for an array of surface applications, including countertops, vanities, shower walls, flooring, decking, building facades, and many other architectural surfaces.
