Quartzite Countertops

Quartzite exists as a naturally hard metamorphic rock, typically found throughout a variety of rock formations and sandstone mines. Through extreme amounts of heat and pressure, quartzite begins to form into a beautiful mosaic of crystal and shiny streaks. This metamorphism leaves behind a durable and versatile material to use in creating unique quartzite countertops.

Quartzite countertops are extremely durable with its strong and non-porous top, while also being naturally resistant to chemical weathering. With such a hard structure, quartzite countertops are not as flexible, leaving it susceptible to chipping and scratching from sharp objects.  

Like quartz, quartzite has a similar appearance due to the presence of mixed minerals colors. However, quartzite appears as white & grey with pink and red hues due to the oxidization of the pure sandstone. While quartzite countertops are limited to the amount of color options available, it does provide a more natural stone appearance than quartz.  

In terms of maintenance, quartzite does require a little more maintenance than quartz. Unfortunately, because quartzite countertops hold natural stone, they need to be sealed properly once or twice a year to prevent stains or other materials getting into the quartzite. Once sealed, quartzite can easily be cleaned, however please ensure the cleaner you are using is safe to use on countertops.
