At Dekton Surfaces, creating high-performance surfaces is about more than just aesthetics. A kitchen splashback needs to protect, perform, and complement the wider design – and Dekton has been engineered to do exactly that.
Often overlooked, splashbacks play a vital role in both the functionality and visual flow of a kitchen. When created using Dekton, they become a seamless extension of the overall surface design rather than an afterthought.
What makes a great splashback
A well-designed splashback must balance practicality with style. It should:
- Withstand heat and moisture
- Resist stains and everyday wear
- Be easy to clean and maintain
- Enhance the overall kitchen design
Dekton meets all of these requirements thanks to its ultra-compact structure and advanced manufacturing process, which compresses natural raw materials into an exceptionally dense, non-porous surface.
Built for everyday kitchen life
Dekton splashbacks are designed to perform in real kitchens, not just look good in showrooms.
Heat resistant
Dekton can be installed behind gas and electric hobs without concern. It will not warp, burn, or discolour when exposed to high temperatures.
Water and stain resistant
The non-porous surface prevents liquids, grease and food splashes from penetrating the material, making cleaning quick and straightforward.
Chemical resistant
Everyday cleaning products and accidental spills from acidic ingredients will not damage the surface or affect its appearance.
UV stable
Dekton retains its colour and finish even in kitchens exposed to strong natural light, making it suitable for bright, open-plan spaces.
Design flexibility without compromise
One of the defining advantages of Dekton splashbacks is the breadth of available colours, textures and finishes. From subtle stone-inspired tones to dramatic marble veining and contemporary industrial effects, Dekton allows splashbacks to either blend seamlessly with worktops or stand out as a feature.
Large-format slabs and slim profiles enable sleek, modern designs with clean lines and a refined finish. Whether paired with matching Dekton worktops or used as a contrast against cabinetry, the result is a cohesive and considered aesthetic.
Fewer joints, cleaner lines
Thanks to large slab sizes, Dekton splashbacks can often be fabricated with minimal joins. This not only enhances the visual impact but also improves hygiene by reducing areas where dirt and grime can collect. The absence of grout lines creates a smooth, uninterrupted surface that is both practical and visually striking.
Low maintenance, long-lasting results
Dekton splashbacks require no sealing or specialist treatments. Routine cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent is enough to keep the surface looking its best.
The material’s durability ensures it maintains its appearance over time, resisting fading, staining and surface wear even in high-use kitchens.
Designed to last
Dekton surfaces are created with longevity in mind. Their ultra-compact composition delivers exceptional strength and resistance, ensuring splashbacks remain as functional and visually appealing years after installation.
This long-term performance makes Dekton a reliable and sustainable choice for modern kitchens.
A Dekton splashback can transform a kitchen by:
- Creating a focal point
- Enhancing continuity between surfaces
- Protecting walls with minimal visual disruption
Every splashback is fabricated to suit the space precisely, ensuring a tailored finish that complements the overall kitchen design.
Why choose Dekton for splashbacks
Dekton combines durability, hygiene, and design versatility in a single surface. For splashbacks, this means confidence – confidence in performance, ease of maintenance, and long-term appearance.
When planning a kitchen, incorporating the splashback into the surface design from the outset allows the space to feel cohesive, refined, and built for everyday living. With Dekton, splashbacks deliver both function and form without compromise.
