Creating elegant and sophisticated designs with innovative technology, Dekton, an ultra compact surface made with TSP Technology (Technology of Sintered Particles) has become a popular choice of many homebuilders who want unparalleled performance for their surface counters and wall treatments.

Developed and patented by Cosentino of Spain, Dekton is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and highly resistant to extreme heat and fire, making this an excellent option for bar counters and kitchen counter tops. This revolutionary technology makes Dekton’s large format size, thinness, and assurance of extreme levels of performance, possible.

Dekton boasts of zero water absorption and high resistance to UV radiation, making it an ideal outdoor material that can withstand all weather conditions. This feature makes this product ideal for both interior and exterior flooring and cladding applications.

Beautiful designs similar to Calcutta marble, travertine, wood or copper, as well as high gloss and matte solid finish are now possible for exterior applications with Dekton. It is ideal for high traffic areas and is the material of choice for various high profile international projects like HK International Airport and Changi Airport.

Developed by the same Spanish company as Dekton, Silestone is the top quartz surface in the world. It is made of 93 percent quartz and combines the best features of solid surface and natural stone. Silestone is highly resistant to staining and scratches.

In the Mohs hardness scale of 1 to 10 with 10 the hardest, Diamond is rated 10, Silestone is rated 7 while marble and granite range from 3 to 6. Moreover, Silestone is the only quartz surface with 100-percent  anti-bacterial protection built into the material. The homeowner is protected from the top, bottom and the cut sides.

This weekend is the bi-annual Manila FAME, the Philippines’ premier design and lifestyle event showcasing the high quality Philippine-made furniture, furnishings and holiday décor. A curated landscape of artisanal and contemporary apparel and fashion accessories at the Fashion Tent at the World Trade Center is an added attraction to this year’s event.

The Artisans Village at the Philippine Trade Training Center showcases handmade products from the islands. It is a one-stop retail marketplace featuring various arts and crafts from regional artisans.

The Katha Awards is a component of the Design Week Philippines, a week-long celebration of design through various events and programs scheduled around the Manila FAME trade show.

With the many talents showcased at the fair, the Katha Awards gives distinction to fresh, original, and innovative designs and, in turn, inspiring and encouraging others to bring up the standards of Philippine design and craftsmanship, creating better export products through the skillful use and exploration of the country’s natural resources.

The Katha Awards comprises the categories of Best Product Design which distinguishes innovative designs, each from furniture, homeware and furnishings, holiday décor and gifts, and fashion; Eco-Design Award for products that emulate sustainability and eco-friendliness; and Best Booth Display that recognizes booth designs at Manila FAME that capture smart and effective visual merchandising display.

The Manila FAME is ongoing at the World Trade Center until tomorrow. Check out www.manilafame.com for more details.
