When designing an outdoor kitchen, choosing the right countertop is one of the most crucial decisions. It needs to withstand the elements while maintaining its beauty and functionality. At American Grill and Hearth, we proudly offer Dekton by Cosentino, a premium surface that is as durable as it is stunning. Best of all, our measuring, templating, and installation are all done in-house, allowing us to reduce costs and maintain strict quality control.
What is Dekton?
Dekton is a carbon-neutral, ultracompact porcelain surface engineered for superior performance. Inspired by natural stone, it combines the latest innovations in technology to deliver a material that is non-porous, highly durable, and resistant to extreme outdoor conditions. The ultra-compaction process used in manufacturing Dekton ensures it has no weak points, making it an ideal choice for high-use areas like outdoor kitchens.
Why Choose Dekton for Your Outdoor Kitchen?
Outdoor countertops need to handle more than just meal prep—they must withstand sun exposure, temperature fluctuations, spills, stains, and everyday wear and tear. Many materials struggle in outdoor conditions, but Dekton excels. Whether you’re cooking for family gatherings, hosting summer barbecues, or simply enjoying your backyard space, Dekton ensures your countertops remain pristine for years to come.
Advantages of Dekton for Outdoor Kitchens
Abrasion & Scratch Resistance
Outdoor kitchens experience heavy use, from prepping food to setting down hot cookware. Dekton is highly resistant to scratches and abrasion, making it a long-lasting choice that won’t show wear and tear over time.
UV & Extreme Temperature Resistance
Unlike traditional stone or quartz, Dekton is completely UV-resistant, meaning it won’t fade or discolor under the sun. Additionally, its resistance to extreme temperatures allows it to handle the heat from hot pots and pans without damage.
Water & Stain Resistance
Outdoor spaces are exposed to rain, humidity, and potential spills from food and drinks. Dekton’s low porosity makes it highly resistant to water absorption and stains, ensuring your countertop stays clean and beautiful with minimal maintenance.
Impact Resistant
Accidents happen, especially in high-traffic outdoor areas. Dekton’s extreme impact resistance ensures that it can withstand dropped utensils, heavy objects, and the occasional mishap without cracking or chipping.
Low Maintenance & Easy Cleaning
One of the biggest advantages of Dekton is that it requires virtually no maintenance. A simple wipe-down with mild soap and water is enough to keep it looking as good as new. Unlike natural stone, it does not require sealing or special treatments.
