Quartzite Countertops
Quality Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is a beautiful type of natural stone that seldom gets the appreciation it deserves. This sleek, subtle, and stunning material will look amazing as part of your kitchen or bathroom design.
- You Won’t Believe It’s Not Marble
- Quartzite is known for looking just like delicate marble while being as resistant and useful as granite. Here are just a few of the many features that have made quartzite counters so popular:
- Beautiful: Quartzite slabs have an ethereal presence that can’t be replicated by other types of stone. No matter which color you choose, you’ll love how the quartzite looks as part of your interior design.
- Strong: Quartzite is created under high amounts of pressure beneath the Earth’s surface. This stone is tough and nearly impossible to break, which means it will last a long time in your home.
- Scratch-resistant: Unlike marble, which scratches the second you touch it with a metal fork, quartzite is extremely difficult to etch. This makes it a great choice for the kitchen; you can chop as many vegetables as you like without damaging the stone.
- Heat-resistant: Quartzite is slightly less heat-resistant than granite but significantly more heat-resistant than quartz. Choose this material when you want counters that have an amazing appearance and can withstand the occasional hot cookie tray.
- Cleanable: Quartzite is non-porous, which means it’s resistant to bacteria and easy to clean. Properly sealed quartzite won’t stain and can be cleaned with nothing more than soap and water.
- Unique: Quartzite is a natural material, and every piece has a unique pattern. Choose from a range of colors with beautiful marbling; your counters will be the only ones of their kind.
- Quartzite Colors and Patterns
- Quartzite typically has a white or gray color, although you may also see the stone veined with shades of brown, gold, or blue. One of the most popular quartzite patterns is known as Taj Mahal after the similar white-and-gold marbling featured in the famous building.
- Although the colors of quartzite are more limited than granite, the many different patterns offer plenty of choices to work with. With bold streaks and subtle veins, you won’t have any trouble finding a quartzite slab that works for your home.
- Caring for Your New Quartzite Countertops
- Quartzite counters can be cleaned with soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. If you need to disinfect, use alcohol or a cleaner intended for natural stone. Never clean natural stone counters with an abrasive tool like steel wool or an acidic substance like vinegar or lemon juice; these cleaning methods will break through the seal and damage the stone underneath.
- Quartzite counters need to be re-sealed once a year. This seal protects the stone underneath and increases the longevity of your counters. Contact us when your counters need re-sealing; we’ll do a professional job and correct any signs of wear or damage.
