WHAT IS QUARTZITE?
Quartzite is a hard metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. The sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure from tectonic compression.
ARE QUARTZ AND QUARTZITE THE SAME THING?
No. The biggest difference between the two is that quartzite is a natural stone and quartz countertops are comprised of quartz material and approximately 7% resin.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF QUARTZITE?
Quartzite is exceptionally hard; therefore, it doesn’t scratch easily. It doesn’t fade so it’s a great choice if the countertop area is subjected to direct sunlight. Quartzite is heat-resistant so a hot pan on quartzite won’t damage it.
DOES QUARTZITE REQUIRE SEALING?
It depends upon the variety. Different varieties of quartzite require sealing and treating more than others. Generally speaking, quartzite is very low maintenance.
WHAT COLORS DOES QUARTZITE COME IN?
For the most part, quartzite colors are primarily in lighter, paler shades. That being said, if you prefer brighter colors then quartz countertops would be a better choice for you.
I LIKE MARBLE. ISN’T MARBLE SOFTER?
Correct! Marble is softer and scratches easier than quartzite does. Quartzite mimics the appearance of marble; therefore, if you like marble, you’ll love quartzite!
