Dekton and porcelain are both highly durable, engineered materials, but they differ in composition and performance. Dekton is made from a mix of natural minerals, including quartz, silica, and glass, which are compressed under extreme pressure and heat, resulting in an ultra-compact, non-porous surface that is resistant to scratches, stains, and high temperatures. Porcelain, on the other hand, is a ceramic material made from refined clay, which is fired at high temperatures, creating a dense and non-porous surface that is also resistant to stains and moisture. While both are suitable for countertops, Dekton is typically stronger and more heat-resistant, making it better suited for high-traffic areas and extreme conditions, whereas porcelain is lighter and can offer a wider variety of design options, often mimicking natural stone or wood.
