Blanc Concrete by Dekton Ceramic

Blanc Concrete is a beige, light grey ceramic material that comes in a smooth matte & textured texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Dekton company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Blanc Concrete is the perfect material for stone kitchen worktops?

Thin, durable and incredibly tough stone surfaces like the beige, light grey Blanc Concrete ceramic worktops make for a great alternative to granite and quartz. Not only are they just as sturdy and long-lasting as other stone worktops, these surfaces are exclusively available in 12mm thicknesses (6mm and even 3mm may be obtainable upon request). This means the realm of new applications unlocked for these lightweight products is extremely broad, encompassing vast projects. From wall cladding to layering kitchen cabinets, ceilings or even furniture.

Sintered-stone, commonly known as ceramic or porcelain, is predominantly utilised for kitchen worktops. It’s the supreme properties that truly make them stand out. Ceramic worktops are exquisitely simple to clean and maintain; they can withstand mechanical damage; but above all, their heat resistance is matched by granite alone. After all, these products are wrought by the fusion of vast additives: powdered quartz, ground minerals, waste raw materials and other heat-resistant particles. As such, the boiling water, hot oil, burning pots and pans won’t bring ceramic worktops any harm.

The mottled & worn Blanc Concrete kitchen ceramic worktops are made to provide its users comfort and an ease of cooking. Their sole purpose is to withstand and endure the risks brought about by everyday use of kitchen facilities. Today, ceramic kitchen worktops are one of the strongest kitchen countertop options on the market. And a remarkable decor alternative to fragile paint, tiles or wallpaper.

What thicknesses are available for Blanc Concrete?

The slabs of Blanc Concrete by Dekton are available in 12mm or 20mm thicknesses. This stone material depth is ideal for multiple applications. From big projects like kitchen worktops, paving, flooring & wall cladding to smaller installations of coffee tabletops, dining tables or windowsills. Surfaces of this depth are manufactured in bespoke fashion, tailor-made to complete even the most demanding projects.

Any stone surface available in 12mm (or under) is also ideal for wall, kitchen cabinet or even furniture cladding. These thin surfaces are equally as strong as their thicker counterparts, except their weight is severely reduced.

Consequently, they are superb products used to clad ceilings, walls, stairs as well as bathtubs, bathroom equipment, swimming pools or other waterproofed areas. Thanks to their low-weight attribute, they are likewise utilised to decorate furniture, or more commonly kitchen cabinets. These fragile elements benefit from the low mass as their delicate hinges and fittings don’t buckle under the weight. Meanwhile they are continuously protected from dirt, grime, or unintentional scratches, making them very desirable.

What makes Blanc Concrete so unique?

Product colour description:

The beige colour of Blanc Concrete ceramic really stands out when it comes to stone worktops. Out of our entire collection (600+ hues), merely 30 are beige. Regardless, beige is a harmonious, neutral shade that pairs very well with modern, glazed cabinets. A beige worktop complements white, grey or light brown units, the latter being a highly recommended ‘mocha’ pairing.

The light grey colour of Blanc Concrete by Dekton is without a doubt the most frequently purchased hue in our collection. This is today’s trend, after all. Grey spaces no longer evoke the feeling of industrial melancholy, instead elements like light grey kitchen worktops are implemented into modern architecture because they represent novelty and minimalism. A highly sought-out, attractive colour that instantly becomes the heart of any setting. And because of its deemed universality, it pairs with almost every type of cabinet, from white gloss, through to black matte or brown, classic raw wood.

Material structure & composition:

Mottled patterns are a common feature on our stone product spectrum. Such is the Blanc Concrete material above, filled with speckles that disperse over the surface in irregular fashion, providing the worktop some depth and intricacy. Mottled stone products, whether man-made or organic, fit a whole range of spaces. But above all those traditional pubs or cottage-like interiors steeped with history and organic motifs.

Material recommended for:

• Traditional or historic spaces,
• Chopping boards,
• Fireplace surrounds.

The worn effect, present on Blanc Concrete above, is reminiscent of rough, brushed materials like unpolished metal, stone or concrete. It’s a rugged style, filled with ‘bruised’ patches that appear scrubbed or worn-out. It’s made for lovers of hoarse, raw traits attributed to decorative resources. These materials fit well into modern kitchens known for inclusion of contrasting, polished, materials or those inclusive of wood, brick, slate, copper or iron elements.

Material recommended for:

• Kitchen worktops,
• Coffee table tops,
• Interiors rich in brick, slate, wood & copper.

What textures/finishes is this product supplied in?

The ‘smooth matte’ texture of the beige, light grey Blanc Concrete colour is distinctively applied to stone ceramic surfaces by Dekton Cosentino. This finish has a soft matte feeling, paralleling a semi-polished stone. This texture finish is the right choice for customers who seek a bit less gloss and a lot more focus on the colour itself. Products with this ‘rough’ finish are suitable for rustic as well as contemporary kitchens. Moreover, they make for a great contrast against typically glossed cabinet doors.

The ‘textured’ or lightly matte finish of this beige, light grey Blanc Concrete colour by Dekton almost feels like a coarse floor tile often used for bathroom cladding. Like hardened, sanded clay or porcelain. If you wish to replicate this finish in your project, but instead of a standard tile opt for a strong, extremely durable Dekton material, this product might be your optimal solution. We highly recommend this finish for floor cladding projects, thanks to anti-slip properties unique to stone surfaces.
