The Cosentino Group, global leader in the production and distribution of innovative surfaces for architecture and design, has demonstrated once again its capacity for innovation with the launch of Dekton® XGloss, a new line of polished high-tech ultra-compact surfaces characterised by their dazzling crystal shine. 

This new line in the Dekton® range, produced by means of an advanced nanotechnological treatment and a mechanical polishing process, offers an extraordinary, dazzling, luminous and crystal-like shine which, combined with the hardness and very high resistance characteristic of Cosentino´s ultracompact surfaces, makes this a line of exceptional performance which is unique in the market. 

No other comparable surface today achieves this combination of aesthetics and technical performance. In order to achieve this spectacular result, the Cosentino Group´s R&D department spent almost two years developing a pioneering and exclusive treatment based on a nanotechnology called the “Nanocoating Process”. In addition to a high gloss finish, this technology gives Dekton® XGloss water-repellent properties which make it extraordinarily stain-resistant without altering the material´s other properties or adding any outer coating to the slabs.

With 41 experts from all around the world, who are chosen according to strict rules, the Red Dot Award: Product Design guarantees a very high judging competence: Only freelance designers, design professors and specialised journalists – but not designers employed at companies potentially participating – are appointed to the jury.

For Santiago Alfonso, Cosentino Group Marketing and Communications Director “This Red Dot Award, recognises Cosentino’s permanent commitment to Research and Development, and rewards with best Product Design 2016 a unique and extraordinary surfacing material like Dekton XGloss.”
