- Malibu and Laguna, Silverkoast Collection – these versatile colours feature a white background with short veins running through the entire surface. The uniform and delicate structure makes it easy to incorporate into any design. Available in a velvet or polished finish.
- Marina and Salina, Silverkoast Collection – with a design that’s inspired by the classic beauty of Carrara marble, but reinterpreted through the lens of Dekton, these colours combine the beauty of natural stone with state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge performance.
- Neural, Onirika Collection – a light cream-toned base with fine, pale veins that run through the marbling, creating a fascinating neural network that moves in the same direction.
- Vigil, Onirika Collection – this colour recreates a strong Calacatta structure with thick veins in gradients of light and dark grey combined with a subtle touch of gold.

- Leave for a couple of minutes, then wipe off any soap residue with a cloth. Finally, dry it with kitchen roll.
