Dekton: I'm considering using Dekton for my countertops. Any experience or thought about this newer product?

    This is an intriguing product. The colors that look like copper or marble are especially appealing. It does not appear that many people have experience with it. I'm sure you've done similar searches, but the cons I've turned up in researching this are the price and the difficulty of installation. It sounds like the fabricator needs to really know what he's doing.

    Why don't you order a couple of samples and abuse them and see how they hold up?

      Hey Jen, my thoughts? Beautiful ! Also interesting and different in a good way.

      Thanks! The guy at Home Depot used his Exacto knife and ran it down the material several times...hard enough to produce sparks. The blade was rounded off afterwards. He then wiped the surface and there was no trace of the occurance. Pretty impressive!

      Yes, installation is my biggest concern. I actually think that this material could be the next big thing for countertops. Definitely for outdoor uses.

      jen, did they tell you how much it would be per square foot?
