Quartzite
A revered natural stone prized for its durability and striking beauty, is a versatile choice for a range of applications. Quarried from diverse locations worldwide, including Brazil, India, and the United States, quartzite boasts unique patterns and hues that add character to any space. At Vegas Granite and Marble, we offer expert guidance to help you explore the myriad options of quartzite, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your project.
Ideal for kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities, quartzite delivers both style and resilience, making it a practical choice for everyday living. Its exceptional durability and resistance to heat and scratches make it well-suited for high-traffic areas, promising enduring elegance in residential and commercial settings alike. However, while quartzite is suitable for most indoor applications, it may not be the best choice for outdoor surfaces or areas prone to heavy moisture exposure, as it can be susceptible to staining and etching over time.
Fun Fact: Quartzite is formed from sandstone subjected to high heat and pressure, resulting in a metamorphic rock renowned for its durability and unique veining patterns.
How to maintain it's beauty
Maintaining the beauty of your quartzite surfaces is crucial for ensuring they retain their pristine appearance over time. To keep your quartzite countertops and surfaces looking their best, it's essential to clean them regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of the quartzite and lead to scratching or dullness. Promptly wipe up any spills or stains to prevent them from penetrating the stone and causing discoloration. Additionally, use cutting boards and trivets to protect your quartzite from scratches and heat damage. Depending on the type of quartzite you have, periodic sealing may be necessary to provide added protection against stains and moisture damage. By following these simple maintenance practices, you can ensure that your quartzite surfaces remain a beautiful and elegant addition to your home or commercial space for years to come.
Protecting your investment
Proper maintenance is crucial to preserve the beauty and longevity of your quartzite surfaces. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and warm water is recommended to remove dirt and debris without causing damage. After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly dry the quartzite to prevent water spots and stains.
