The Look: Subtle Elegance Inspired by Calacatta Marble

Dekton Natura 18 is renowned for its striking resemblance to honed Calacatta marble, one of the most coveted stones in the world. With delicate veining and a soft white background, this slab provides timeless beauty with a twist: it’s entirely man-made using advanced sintering technology. The result is a consistent, yet naturally elegant surface that offers visual drama without maintenance anxiety.

This exceptional material fits seamlessly alongside traditional options in Zicana Boutique’s luxurious collections like the Marble Slabs Collection or the Porcelain Slabs Collection, making it the perfect solution for anyone who desires the aesthetic richness of natural stone with the superior performance of sintered surfaces.

Performance: Engineered for Architects and Everyday Life

What makes Dekton Natura 18 truly exceptional is its technical superiority. Developed using exclusive Sinterized Particle Technology, Dekton is formed from a blend of glass, porcelain, and quartz under extreme heat and pressure. The outcome is an ultra-compact surface engineered to withstand the rigors of modern living.

• Scratch-resistant: Ideal for high-traffic spaces like kitchen countertops and flooring.
• Heat-resistant: Place hot cookware directly on the surface with zero worry.
• UV-stable: Perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Low porosity: Highly resistant to staining and does not require sealing.
• Eco-conscious production: Dekton is certified carbon neutral throughout its entire life cycle.

These features make it a favorite for architects, interior designers, and builders working on high-performance residential builds or luxury commercial projects.
