ABOUT QUARTZITE
Often mistaken for quartz, which is man-made, quartzite is a natural stone formed when sandstone is compressed under intense heat and pressure deep within the earth. Once quarried, it’s cut into slabs, revealing distinctive veining that resembles marble but with far greater durability and lower maintenance.
SETTING
From kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities to wall cladding and even fireplace surrounds, quartzite offers durability and natural beauty across a wide range of design elements.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain quartzite surfaces, regular cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner is recommended, and sealing every one to two years helps preserve its natural beauty.
COLOR PALETTE
Quartzite colors are determined by nature, with white, beige, and gray being the most common hues. However, variations like gold, green, or even blush hues can occur naturally.
