Natural Quartzite Countertops You'll Love
Quartzite is a beautiful material that begins its journey as grains of sand found in beaches, deserts, and riverbeds, that compress and bind together. Over time, increased pressure and temperatures cause the sand grains to alter their shape and fuse with each other. This process forms the dense and lovely quartzite that we know today.
With a rating of seven on the Mohs hardness scale, which is higher than both glass and knife blades, quartzite is an excellent choice for custom kitchen and bath countertops in Denver, CO. Our stone squad is happy to answer your countertop questions and provide you with a free consultation!
