Quartzite Countertops
The durability of granite with the elegance of marble. Quartzite is a premium natural stone that offers the best of both worlds.
What is Quartzite?
Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock formed when sandstone is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Often confused with quartz (an engineered material), quartzite is 100% natural and significantly harder than marble. Its stunning veining patterns rival marble's beauty while offering much greater durability and resistance to etching.
