04/ Dekton® and ventilated façades The transformation of a 1960s building starting with the façade The architect of this project had to deal with major structural problems. The idea was to restore a building from the 1960s with a low load-bearing capacity where limitations of energy demand and sound insulation had to be resolved. Furthermore, it was important to find a material that could withstand the unforgiving coastal conditions and could easily hide the installations and building elements. The developer proposed the use of a ventilated façade with ceramic cladding. Based on this proposal, the architect and marble supplier found the perfect solution in Dekton®. Thanks to Dekton®, they solved the structural and functional problems encountered, while providing an optimum and attractive result in record time. Dekton, the new skin for residential buildings Thirty-eight 1.2cm thick Dekton® Sirius slabs were used to clad the façade, which corresponds to a total surface area of 175m2. These slabs are easy to maintain and are supported on a stainless steel and aluminum structure that is highly resistant to moisture. 1 1 - Ventilated façade by Dekton® in Sirius Find your closest Cosentino Dealer Locate the Cosentino-certified shops and fabricators nearest you!Go to Locator Check out more inspiring outdoor spaces 01/ Beautifully continuous and durable outdoor spaces 02 / Visual continuity 03 / Functionality with a rustic touch 05 / Visual continuity, versatility, and durability in outdoor spaces 06 / Colors and texture for your outdoor spaces 07 / Porch and terrace in a single finish 08 / A material that blends in with nature More spaces and comprehensive solutions Kitchens Bathrooms Outdoors Living Rooms Furniture
