Quartzite is a very hard metamorphic rock that originated as sandstone. Through a process of high heating and pressurization, sandstone is transformed into Quartzite, an extremely strong and durable natural stone. When heated, individual quartz pieces recrystallize giving it a beautiful and decorative sparkling pattern. Quartzite is ideal for any countertop surface due to its strength and long-lasting composition. For the most effective use of quartzite, it is best to have it sealed periodically to protect against stains.

Chances are, if you are building a new home or having your kitchen remodeled, you will be searching for a new countertop that is efficient and eye appealing. Consider quartzite countertops for its strength, beauty, and overall durability. You may think that there is a lack of colors available. That is not the case for quartzite! Quartzite mostly comes in a variety of white, cream, and beige colors with amazing patterns. Aside from the base colors, you can find hues of green, blue, and red. These colors come naturally from the minerals in the earth which add wonderful texture and character to the countertops.
