What Do People Usually Ask About Dekton?

Where do I buy Dekton and who installs it?

Dekton sales are managed through TSDP showroom locations in Roseville and Minnetonka. We currently have a wide variety of Dekton samples at both locations as well as a full shower display in our Roseville showroom and another coming soon to Minnetonka.

We have partnered with a company called Stone Systems to handle the measurement, fabrication and installation of all our Dekton projects. Once you’ve made your final selections and would like to move forward with Dekton surfaces, Stone Systems will set up an appointment to take measurements of your install ready space.

What is an install ready space?

An install ready space is one that has all of the water proofing and shower pan surfaces set and ready for wall cladding and curb caps if applicable.

At TSDP, we have a large network of tile setters and contractors we can match you with who are familiar with our process that will get your project going and ready for your Dekton surfaces to be installed.

Can I buy Dekton slabs to install myself?

Generally speaking, no. Dekton fabrication is difficult and requires a specialized process for handling, cutting and installation to ensure a high quality result. This is especially true if TSDP is going to be installing shower glass on any of the surfaces. If Dekton surfaces are installed improperly, the likelihood of slabs cracking or breaking during glass installation increases significantly. Understandably, this is a problem that we want to avoid at all costs so it’s best to leave Dekton installation up to the professional installers at Stone Systems.

Tile and fiberglass shower pans are excellent choices for showers set to be clad with Dekton on the walls.

If you choose to utilize a tile shower pan, the floor and drain areas of your shower are the responsibility of you or your contractor. 2 cm Dekton material can be used as curb caps whether you’re looking to match your wall cladding or choose a contrasting color. If you choose Dekton for your curb caps on a tile base, it must have the water proofing and tile backer material set and ready for the curb caps to be installed. The process is the same as any other solid surface curb material.

For fiberglass shower pans, the higher quality you buy the better. Higher quality pans will be made with thicker material that flexes less and supports the mounting of shower glass more optimally.

In either case, the shower must be in install ready condition in order for Stone Systems to take final measurements for your Dekton slabs and curb caps (if applicable).
