FAQs About Dekton for Outdoor Applications

Can Dekton be used for outdoor countertops?

Absolutely. Dekton is a go-to choice for outdoor kitchens, bars, and grilling areas. Its resistance to UV, heat, and staining makes it ideal for exterior countertop use across all climates.

Does Dekton get hot in direct sunlight?

Like most dense surfaces, Dekton may warm under intense sun, particularly darker finishes. However, its high heat resistance ensures it won’t degrade or warp even in peak summer temperatures. For high-sun applications, consider lighter tones for a cooler touch.

Is Dekton maintenance-free outdoors?

Yes, Dekton requires virtually zero maintenance. It never needs sealing and can be cleaned effortlessly with mild soap and water—perfect for busy hospitality spaces or low-maintenance home environments.

How does Dekton compare to quartz for outdoors?

Unlike quartz, which can discolor or degrade in UV exposure, Dekton is UV-stable and better suited to outdoor use. Quartz is best indoors, while Dekton excels in both settings seamlessly.
