I know a stainless-steel counter won't chip. Butcherblock isn't going to chip. Of course, it really only maters how easily something chips. Dekton chips easier than corian or other quartz. Easier than quartzite or granite. Easier than soapstone or marble. If making a ranking of most likely to chip, Dekton would be at or near the top. Plus, the repair process should be considered.

Viking showroom, The Colony, Lewisville TX yesterday:

Sinage covers chip, according to salesperson.

Looks like a patch to me. If so, it's pretty well done.

It works as a wall covering.

Does the black porcelain also chip on the Wolf GR 304?
Q
Comments (4)
We have the (slightly) older style Wolf AG range. Our oven floor was replaced a few years ago (excessive "tin canning"--flexing during oven use). It has screws like you describe, so I am guessing it can be replaced if needed. If the porcelain is the same as ours, so far ours seems okay. Burnt on/baked in stuff that sometimes "flakes" off onto the sponge when I clean the oven (I've never been able to clean it off entirely), but it doesn't appear to be any of the porcelain itself flaking off.

Does anyone know how to get the chipped paint look?
Q

Oh wow...that is amazing. I was gifted a faux fireplace that had been in a house that suffered a fire. Then it was left outside, and when I went to wash the soot off (luckily it did not smell), most of the old paint washed off. I tried to sand the rest of the paint off, but it just smeared. I think it was still a bit damp. Anyway, I painted over it with some pale green and want to get a lot of the green paint off, then maybe hit it with some glaze. It's got a lot of dentil molding and is really nice, but it NEEDS to be distressed finished. I will attempt to post a pic when I can download them off the camera. I'm going to check out that blog for more inspiration. I hope someone can come up with a way to distress like that piece shown tho!

does your white cabinet paint chip?
Q

There are companies that come out and do touch up.(And, they also told me that they would clean the cabinets too.) We had damage to a corner of a cabinet when the cabinet next to it had to be replaced because the size was wrong. They gave me a thick touch up filler stick and a small bottle of paint. I have use the stick and it fills in nicely. I think that this is just one of those things with a white kitchen. No one but me would notice every little tiny chip or ding. And over all, the kitchen still looks great.

It was never said how fast it dried, only that it did. You can either go with a heavier mix like said with the downside of the mix holding too much water or pot up with the same mix you have now. To answer your question though, if you want to water more, every other day like you said, lift the pots when they are dry and make sure before you water that they are dry. Not plant wilting dry but time to water dry.

EVERYTHING can chip, in the right circumstances. Even Corian. Maybe it or laminate needs a really forceful whack for it to happen. But everything chips. Especially if you have bulls in china shops that need to stay in the barn until taught civilized behavior. Because abuse is never covered by anyone's warranty for anything.

I've used Dekton many times in client projects, and have never heard any complaints. It's a very hard material, however, and you have to make sure your fabricator is certified for it. They've got some beautiful designs, IMO, and they are very durable.

"Does dekton chip?" yes. absolutely yes. It is very hard making it more prone to chipping than many other countertop options. It is commonly produced with very little radius on the upper corner because it is so hard it wears the diamond tooling in the fab shop much more quickly than other materials. The sharp corner also contributes to the increased potential for chipping. Not a good choice if you are concerned about shipping.

This thread is from last year. People shared their experiences with Dekton and did experience chips, including in a backsplash.
