Water damage can quickly ruin the look and structure of hardwood flooring — especially near windows, doors, or other moisture-prone areas. Recently, our team was called to a home where leaking windows had caused extensive water damage to the hardwood floors. Instead of replacing the wood and risking the same issue again, we upgraded the space with Dekton flooring, creating a sleek and worry-free solution that will last for years.
What Is Dekton?
Dekton is an advanced, ultra-compact surface made from a blend of natural materials including quartz, porcelain, and glass. It’s created using a process called Sinterized Particle Technology, which subjects these materials to extreme heat and pressure — producing one of the most durable, non-porous surfaces available today.
Benefits of Dekton Flooring
Dekton has quickly become a top choice for tile installers and homeowners looking for a combination of beauty and performance. Here’s why:
100% Waterproof: Dekton is completely impervious to moisture, making it ideal for floors near windows, entryways, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Heat and UV Resistant: It won’t fade, crack, or warp from direct sunlight — perfect for bright, sunny spaces.
Scratch and Stain Resistant: Dekton’s dense surface stands up to everyday wear, pets, and heavy furniture without showing damage.
Low Maintenance: No sealing, waxing, or special cleaners required — simply wipe it clean.
Design Flexibility: Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes, Dekton can mimic stone, concrete, or even wood while offering superior durability.
Our Recent Project: Replacing Water-Damaged Hardwood with Dekton
For this project, we removed the damaged hardwood flooring in front of the windows and replaced it with Dekton tile. The new surface not only prevents future water damage but also adds a clean, modern touch that ties seamlessly into the existing flooring.
The homeowners were thrilled with the result — a stylish, waterproof surface that’s built to last and requires virtually no upkeep.
