Quartzite Kitchen Countertops
Are you considering quartzite kitchen countertops for your home? If so, you're making a wise decision! Quartzite is a beautiful natural stone slab that can add elegance and style to any kitchen. It's also highly durable and long-lasting, making it the perfect choice for busy families.
Sought after for its marble-like appearance, quartzite is a popular choice for kitchen countertops. It's available in a wide range of colors, from light and airy whites to deep and rich blacks. And because it's a natural stone, each slab is unique with its own veining patterns.
A Natural Stone WITH NATURAL BEAUTY
When you choose quartzite countertops you get the strength benefits of granite countertops while still maintaining the look of marble. Quartzite allows you to experience the best of both worlds when it comes to natural stone.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone that has been subjected to high temperature and pressure. Quartzite is formed when Sandstone comes into touch with magma deep within the earth's surface. Quartzite is extremely durable, strong, and dense, and it's very popular for countertops since it has the same veining and color palette as marble but with considerably greater chemical resistance. Although all quartzite is not 100% non-porous, its abrasion resistance and weathering durability make it ideal for almost any purpose.
You may not know that quartzite is resistant to UV rays. Because it does not fade in the sun, this is a great countertop material for an area that gets a lot of exposure. It's also ideal for use as a backsplash or countertop in an outdoor setting or for bathroom countertops.
If you're looking for a stone countertop that is both beautiful and durable, quartzite is a perfect choice.

What is the Difference Between Quartzite Countertops and Quartz Countertops?
Quartz and quartzite are two of the most popular stone countertop choices in Denver. They are also two of the most misunderstood natural stones. Many assume "quartz" is simply a shortened version of "quartzite," and that the two products are one and the same. But they are not. Understanding the difference between them and learning more about quartzite can help you decide which countertop material is appropriate for your needs.
What is Quartz?
Quartz is a manufactured material commonly sought after since it can give a consistent appearance. Engineered quartz is a high-quality, high-end, manufactured hard surface made of ground quartz, resin, and pigments that come in a variety of design styles and modern hues. Quartz is a preferred material for countertops due to its ease of cleaning, heat resistance, scratch resistance, and stain prevention.
What is Quartzite?
As mentioned, quartzite is a naturally occurring, metamorphic rock formed from Sandstone. A quartzite countertop is made from a single slab of stone that is cut, shaped, and polished to create a beautiful and functional countertop surface. Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as kitchens. It is also heat resistant and can withstand direct contact with hot pans and pots without damage.
