In this post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Dekton bathroom walls.

Dekton Bathroom Walls: Durability

Everyone knows the difficulties of a moldy shower. Various molds can cultivate on top of and even under the grout that is essential to tile. If bleach doesn’t work — it often fails when mold grows beneath the grout — what’s left is a horrible chemical stench and even more work to do. In other words, it’s an arduous process to clean moldy grout. To do a proper job in a mold-ridden bathroom, you often have to completely remove the grout.

In a conventional bathroom’s lifetime, it may be necessary to repeat that process many times, magnifying the expense and headache of maintenance.

With Dekton, there is no need for grout as there are few to no seams since the slabs come in large sizes (3200 x 1400mm) and is ultra-resistant to moisture and stains, and does not require any specific maintenance except wiping with a soft wet cloth. This makes cleaning a breeze!

Dekton Bathroom Walls: Exquisite Aesthetics

Beyond durability, one of the most impressive aspects of Dekton is its appearance. Its large format size of 3200 x 1400mm ensures fewer joints which results in a high-end look. It is also great for showing off a statement design.

Dekton exudes the look and feel of luxury. With Dekton beating all engineered stones for durability, it’s easy to forget just how stunning it is in vertical settings like on shower surrounds and wall panels.

In Conclusion…

Dekton Slim in 4mm gives architects and designers a chance to rethink the bathroom and any other wet area in the home.

Dekton Slim offers the same hard-wearing properties as standard Dekton, including a high resistance to scratches and staining for easy cleaning. Due to its thin thickness and ultra-light weight  (10kg/m2), the Slim surfaces are easier to cut, transport and install.  This makes it possible to save money whilst still having bathroom cladding from a market leading brand.
