Quartzite Countertop FAQ
Everything you need to know before choosing your slab.
Is quartzite the same as quartz?
No. Quartzite is a 100% natural metamorphic rock, while quartz is a man-made engineered stone. Quartzite offers the natural beauty of real stone with higher heat resistance than engineered quartz.
Does quartzite scratch easily?
Quartzite is extremely scratch-resistant. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, it is harder than glass and even granite. It is the ideal choice for high-traffic kitchens that require maximum durability.
Does quartzite need to be sealed?
Yes, like all natural stones, quartzite is porous to some degree and requires professional sealing. We apply a high-performance sealer during installation to protect against stains and moisture.
Can I put hot pans directly on quartzite?
Quartzite is very heat resistant, much more so than engineered quartz. However, to prevent thermal shock and protect the stone’s natural structure, we always recommend using trivets for pots taken directly from the stove.
Why is quartzite more expensive than other stones?
Quartzite is a premium material because of its rarity and the difficulty of fabrication. Its extreme hardness requires more time and specialized tools to cut, but the result is a nearly indestructible luxury surface.
