Quartzite is a hard, durable metamorphic rock, formed from sandstone, known for its beauty in countertops and surfaces, offering marble-like veining with granite-like toughness, resisting heat and scratches, but requiring care during fabrication due to silica dust hazards. It's used for countertops, flooring, and exterior cladding, valued for its strength, weather resistance, and elegant appearance

Properties & Uses

• Durability: Harder than granite and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Appearance: Can mimic marble's veining but without the etching issues, available in various colors and patterns.
• Heat Resistant: Very heat-resistant, but trivets are still recommended for extreme heat.
• Applications: Popular for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, flooring, walls, and exterior facades
• Varieties: Comes in many types (Taj Mahal, Macaubas Fantasy) with unique colors and veining.
• Cost: Generally more expensive than granite, with prices varying significantly based on rarity and complexity
