I used to cut this stuff as part of a previous job. Imagine a kitchen-sized cnc water jet/saw.

We had to cut a prescribed pattern out of the edges of the slab to relieve stresses. Even at 2cm thickness it was slower to cut than any 3cm natural stone.

Part of the job was smashing the offcuts with a sledge to fit more stone per dumpster. Smashing dekton is like when you get a bad hit with a baseball bat and you feel it through your elbows and shoulders. Every time, like nothing else.

I think it looks like crap. Maybe good for high traffic floors or wall treatments where weight is a concern.

There are third-party tests that mostly validate this. Dekton appears to be rather more prone to breakage due to impact than most other countertop materials.
