Durat’s Big Chip Energy: Boldly Sustainable Solid Surface

Mindful Material Meets Modern Design: The Power of Dekton Ukiyo and Standard Dekton in Unified Spaces

At CaraGreen, our material selections are driven by a simple ethos: beautiful design should never come at the cost of sustainability or functionality. With Dekton Ukiyo, Cosentino has once again elevated the conversation—offering a surface solution that is not only carbon neutral and ultra-durable, but also visually distinctive.

Paired with CaraGreen’s curated selection of standard Dekton slabs, Ukiyo enables designers to create seamless, high-end spaces that connect horizontal and vertical surfaces in an intentional, elevated way.

What Sets Dekton Ukiyo Apart

Dekton Ukiyo is a departure from the smooth, monolithic slab norm. It introduces linear fluting in shallow, rhythmic grooves that run across large-format panels—offering texture, shadow play, and dimension without sacrificing minimalism.

What makes Ukiyo uniquely valuable is that these grooves are:

• • 🏭 Factory-integrated – No need for costly post-processing or CNC routing.
    
  • 📏 Consistently spaced and finished – Available in two fluted profiles, GV2 (5mm wide grooves) and GV3 (3mm wide grooves).
    
  • 🔧 Ready for installation – Ideal for vertical applications like wall cladding, reception areas, or retail displays.
    

This textured aesthetic elevates the feel of any space, evoking Japanese architectural calm and craftsmanship without the added labor or cost of manual detailing.

Designing a Cohesive Space with Standard Dekton + Ukiyo

By combining standard Dekton slabs (for horizontal and functional vertical use) with Ukiyo’s fluted wall panels, designers can create layered, high-end environments that flow seamlessly from surface to surface. Here’s how these materials come together in key applications:

🔲 Countertops and Worksurfaces

Standard Dekton slabs deliver unmatched durability, stain and heat resistance, and clean edge detailing—perfect for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, or reception desks. These smooth, large-format surfaces establish the functional base of a space and provide contrast to Ukiyo’s texture.

🧱 Vertical Wall Cladding

Ukiyo truly shines in vertical applications. Use it on accent walls, behind vanities, in hotel lobbies, or on elevator cores to create drama through shadow and texture. The consistent fluting pattern delivers architectural refinement without feeling ornamental or busy.

🧼 Backsplashes and Vertical Runs

Bridge the visual language between countertops and walls with vertical slab backsplashes in standard Dekton. This continuity draws the eye upward and allows Ukiyo’s tactile cladding to act as the feature backdrop, bringing depth and texture to spaces that are typically overlooked.

🚪 Cabinet Fronts and Vertical Panels

For an ultra-modern, integrated look, standard Dekton slabs can be applied to cabinet faces or large built-ins. This enables consistency in tone and material while letting Ukiyo-clad walls add the textural accent. Think modern kitchens, custom casework, or retail merchandising walls that need both performance and aesthetic punch.

Sustainability that Speaks the CaraGreen Language

Both Dekton and Ukiyo are built on the same material foundation—and sustainability is baked into every step:

• • ♻️ Carbon neutral from cradle to grave
    
  • 💧 100% recycled water in manufacturing
    
  • ⚡ Produced with 100% renewable electricity
    
  • 🔄 Select colors made with up to 80% recycled content
    
  • 🧱 Exceptionally long-lasting, reducing replacement waste
    

This makes Dekton more than a design material—it’s a sustainability tool. And at CaraGreen, we’re proud to offer surface solutions that align with the environmental and aesthetic standards of forward-thinking designers.

Conclusion: Unified Surfaces, Elevated Spaces

With Dekton standard slabs and Ukiyo textured panels, designers can now articulate every surface of a space with one high-performance, visually coordinated material system. From functional worksurfaces to expressive wall treatments, this combination opens the door to cohesive, sculptural, and sustainable design.

And thanks to Ukiyo’s factory-milled grooves, you can get that layered look—refined and repeatable—without the cost or complexity of custom fabrication.

Let CaraGreen help you bring this modern material language to your next project. Because great design starts with great surfaces—and those should always do more than look good.
