Quartzite has become extremely popular, and with good reason as it is a versatile and durable stone material. It can be used in many applications, both residential and commercial, making it an excellent choice for home remodel projects.
What Is Quartzite?
Quartzite, a natural stone, is formed when sandstone is exposed to tremendous levels of pressure and heat beneath the earth’s surface. Quartzite has a unique blend of strength and beauty with gorgeous veining and a color palate that resembles marble, but without the upkeep and expense of marble. Quartzite is also a lower maintenance stone compared to marble, and it can be cleaned with a simple solution of warm water and soap.
Residential Use
Quartzite countertops are a suitable option for residential installations because of their substantial durability and aesthetic allure. Their accommodation in various zones of the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and adjacent to fireplaces, is evidence of their broad-based applicability. Quartzite is a very hard stone, making it an excellent choice for daily use. The luxurious appearance of quartzite can add a sophisticated touch to your home which will enhance its overall visual appeal. Additionally, the wide range of shades and vein patterns offer you the chance to build a chic bathroom that matches your individual tastes.
Kitchen Countertops
If you want to make a real statement in your kitchen, quartzite is a great option. Thanks to the power of nature, each slab is one-of-a-kind which means you are investing in unique, naturally formed countertops. While quartz and other engineered stones can mimic the patterns and colors of natural stone, quartzite is the real thing. Quartzite kitchen countertops are a unique option for your home, and are guaranteed to be a showstopper. And, with diversity in its colors and patterns, quartzite is adaptable in any kitchen, whether that be modern or classic.
