We had the Laurent installed for our island and love it. Mainly the functionality of the material is why we chose Dekton..with kids and cooking, just made sense. We are now considering Dekton SLIM for a matching table as well, hopefully if I can figure out the design of the legs.

I just found this thread and it is very helpful to what I am working on now but first and foremost, I would like to share my condolences on the loss of your husband. I lost a husband many years ago and still recall how difficult it was. It is a journey, with ups and downs, but you will find a new normal life for you and your family. I am working on a condo kitchen reno and was trying to decide if I should recommend Dekton vs Silestone to the client. They really like the new Silestone - Ethereal Glow that has some warm gold veining in it. HOWEVER, she is not the best housekeeper and I wonder about stains and they also had a counter for 25+ years in their old house that was heat proof (can't recall what it was but it was not concrete). Based on this conversation I took a quick look at Dekton REM and it might be a better solution. What is the recommended edge for Dekton? The only other kitchen/bath reno I have done is a kitchen with a Cambria - Berwyn counter.

Nice work Marguerite!!! Wait until it gets a bit older and forever changes colors on you, especially after it blooms!! It's quite a bloomer if you keep it on the drier side come fall and in a cooler area like a window sill with full sun! Are you fertilizing it on a regular basis? From February right up until August? The nothing at all from September until January? It will green up and get richer looking colors if you do)

dwataha: My customers acknowledge in writing that I'm not responsible for any damages when I remove tops and agree to pay for any repairs (nearly impossible on sintered) at $150.00 per hour or no Joe for them. Depending on their thickness and how they were bonded to the substrate, recycling may not be cost effective.

A design showroom near me has a competitors porcelain made into a waterfall island- every seam is glaringly obvious so not a product I'm willing to use!

Ps: thank you for the suggestion. Also- I talked to a fabricator today who said she had thus far in the past many years of installing never had a complaint. She was a Consentino recommended fabricator and fabricates all kinds of product including Dekton (Despite all the reviews I’ve read!).

Just had the Dekton Laurent installed last week. It is beautiful and we love it. Make sure you have a good installer able to water cut if you have any angles. The first installer we were working with wanted to put in 2 extra seams. We changed to an installer that had a Computerized water cutter and they did an amazing job.

Oh wow!! You did?! What color are your cabinets and tile?! It’s been so agonising figuring out our cabinets (we’re thinking off white flat and have grey large format tile)! We hope our doesn’t look to stark/sterile/cheap! I’d love to see pictures of your wonderful countertop!!

Hello! We've also had this worktop installed recently and it really is beautiful! However I'm unsure what to clean it with to keep the colour rich and stop discolouration/fading. Any suggestions would be helpful! At the moment just using Method daily kitchen surface cleaner but not sure if that's the best thing to use.

I ordered this for my kitchen though Lowes & they commente connected me to a local installer that has great reviews but he says he’s never installed this color. He also says to get seams perfect is impossible. my island is so big it requires one. Please help, what do iI do?!

@John Gallagher How big is your island? Ours is a little larger than 4'x10' and there are no seams. We made sure our island was a full slab of Dekton. We did agree to a seam in a different smaller, inconspicuous section of the kitchen and it's not great. There's no way I would want a seam with Laurent on a large island.

I had Dekton Laurent installed last week and I am not happy with the color or texture. Both are very different from the sample. Purchased from Home Depot - also where the sample came from.

May I ask the lead time needed for the Dekton Laurent? I made my initial purchase thru The Home Depot last week. I haven’t heard from the local fabricator yet. I’m worried about the availability of material. We are updating the master bath and I will be using this for the countertops.

I used it in my recent Master Bath remodel and LOVE the choice. Bought through the Home Depot. No issues with getting it delivered on time.

We are scheduled for installation in 3 days and they are saying they cannot do a diagonal corner cut at the 90 degree angle. We are waiting to hear why. The abrupt transition is making us second guess our choice. Anyone have this issue?

We just purchased the Laurant from Home Depot and are having it installed on Thursday. We have honey oak cabinets (2000's) and thought the dark countertop would pop. We were able to make an appointment for the viewing of the slab to make sure we liked the color and patterns. I was also told about no 90 degree because they way they miter? The seam will be smaller without doing the corner/90 degree. I will post some before/after pics after Thursday. Sooo excited.
