Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartzite countertops here.

What makes quartzite different from quartz?

Quartzite is a natural stone formed through heat and pressure, while quartz countertops are man-made from crushed quartz and resins. Quartzite is harder and more heat-resistant than quartz, making it one of the most durable natural surfaces available. Unlike quartz, it requires sealing to protect against stains since it is naturally porous.

Is quartzite durable enough for a kitchen?

Yes. Quartzite is extremely durable, ranking 7–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it’s harder than glass and steel knife blades. It resists scratches, chips, and heat, making it ideal for high-traffic kitchens. With proper sealing, it also resists staining and bacteria, giving homeowners both beauty and long-term performance.

Do quartzite countertops need special care?

Quartzite requires periodic sealing to protect against spills since it’s a porous stone. Daily maintenance is simple—just clean with warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives to maintain the stone’s natural finish. With this care, quartzite countertops retain their elegance and strength for decades.

What our Customers are Saying

"I had the pleasure of working with CCT Natural Stone Designs to update my kitchen. They did an amazing job. They were professional and detail oriented and even made recommendations to take my project to the next level - like adding the granite window sill. From selecting my granite, taking measurements, and final install, I could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend CCT Natural Stone Designs for any upcoming project you might have!"

"I really enjoyed working with CCT for my new bathroom countertops. For cost effectiveness, I wanted to use the same slab for two bathrooms - one bathroom was gray, the other was shades of brown/tan. I needed a white countertop, and Claudia from CCT was terrific in providing options. We settled on the perfect countertop that went with both bathroom colors - and I couldn't be happier with the result. What a difference a new countertop/sink makes! I highly recommend using CCT - they made the whole process simple and easy."
