Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our quartzite countertops here.
No, quartzite and quartz are very different materials. Quartzite is a natural stone formed through heat and pressure, making it extremely durable and resistant to heat and scratches. Quartz, on the other hand, is an engineered surface made from crushed quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments. Both are beautiful, but quartzite offers the uniqueness of a natural slab while quartz provides consistent patterns and colors.
Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, ranking 7–8 on the Mohs hardness scale. It resists scratches from daily kitchen use, stands up to high heat, and handles busy households with ease. Because it is so tough, quartzite is especially popular among homeowners looking for a surface that combines elegance with long-term performance.
Quartzite is relatively low-maintenance, but it is a porous natural stone, so sealing is recommended to protect against stains and spills. Day-to-day care is simple—just use mild soap and water for cleaning. With routine maintenance, quartzite countertops can keep their beauty for decades.
