Outdoor kitchens and surfaces from Cosentino

Breaking down the barriers between the interior and exterior of the home has been a reoccurring theme in recent years, with the aim to make these spaces naturally merge together and unite. This is due to the growing need to connect with nature in the home through outdoor spaces, where family members and friends can gather, guests can be entertained, and memories can be made.

This unique continuity between the inside and outside of the home can only be achieved through the use of outdoor furniture that fits in with the same decorative style as the house, does not disrupt the overall aesthetics, and is functional and resistant at the same time. A challenge that can be overcome with Dekton by Cosentino’s surfaces.

Please see outdoor lifestyles from Dekton by Cosentino below, the market leader in sustainable design surfaces for architecture and the home.

All Dekton surfaces are resistant to scratch, heat and stains, making them perfect for everyday use and ensuring they stand the test of time. The various thicknesses of this unique material allow designers and homeowners to choose from an array of different edges and sizes. Further to this, there is an opportunity to utilise the design across the home on a multitude of applications, both indoor and outdoor. Exterior cladding, furniture, flooring, cupboard cladding, and sinks can be created using the same material for a cohesive look.

Dekton is completely carbon neutral – from the extraction of the raw material and its production cycle to its use and the end of the product’s life. This recognition is supported by the measures taken by Cosentino to achieve greater efficiency in terms of energy, consumption of resources, use of renewable electricity and sustainable policies. In order to obtain carbon neutrality, Dekton offsets its emissions by investing in emission reduction projects. These projects are not only responsible but also have a strong social component supporting the SDGs of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
