About Natural Quartzite

Ideal for interior applications

Natural Quartzite, not to be confused with Engineered Quartz, has become very popular over the years. Quartzite offers more of a “marble” look, while providing a very hard and durable surface suitable for kitchen countertops and other countertop applications. Quartzite is generally heat and scratch resistant but other impurities found in many Quartzites, can sometimes make them less durable than natural granite.

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that has been formed from sandstone and has been altered by heat and pressure over time.

Like most natural stones, Quartzite should be sealed to protect from staining and are typically more expensive than traditional granite materials.

Care & Maintenance

Natural Quartzite is durable, easy to clean, highly resistant to etching and when properly sealed, stain resistant as well. For daily maintenance, use a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Thoroughly rinse the surface with water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. You can also use products specifically designed for cleaning natural stone surfaces. Recommended sealing every 1-2 years.

See Technical Documents for more information about detailed long-term Care & Maintenance.
