Sophisticated and naturally durable, quartzite pairs a gorgeous colour palette with easy, everyday living.
About Quartzite
Quartzite has grown popular for good reason, combining real durability, low maintenance, and a beautiful colour palette straight from nature. It’s a stylish choice that holds up to daily life while giving a room something to look at.
What Is Quartzite?
The similar names cause plenty of confusion, so here’s the difference. Quartzite is a natural stone that starts life as sandstone and, under intense heat and pressure deep in the earth, transforms into quartzite. It’s mined, cut into slabs, then shaped with diamond blades before being polished and sealed for durability.
Quartz, by contrast, is a manmade, engineered stone made from crushed stone, resins, and pigment. In short, quartzite is natural and quartz is engineered.
Simple Care & Maintenance
Quartzite asks for the same care as other natural stones. Wipe up spills promptly and use trivets under hot items to protect the surface. A yearly sealing is recommended to keep etching and stains at bay, and that little bit of routine keeps it looking its best.
