Why Choose Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is a type of sandstone that is made up of mostly quartz material that has been transformed through pressure, and chemical activity into a strong and durable material. The sand grains get recrystallized and the silica acts as a cement that binds the particles together. These natural changes with the help of the magic of time and nature give quartzite that sought after sparkle and natural patterns that will surely elevate the look and feel of any space it is installed and used in. Here are some more reasons why you should choose quartzite:
- Durable and does not easily scratch
- May not require sealing
- Resistant to etching
- Resistant to heat
- Still cheaper than most marbles
- Naturally occurring colors and patterns

FAQs about quartzite countertops

- Quartz countertops are an engineered product, created by mixing ground quartz and resin. Quartzite is a natural stone, formed by immense heat and pressure on quartz sandstone. Quartzite is a hard, metamorphic rock that is much more durable than its engineered counterpart. While they often vary in price, quartzite can be a better investment due to its resilience and unique properties.
- Natural quartzite countertops are an attractive and reliable alternative to marble. Quartzite has a similar aesthetic to some of the world's finest marbles, yet it is much more durable and resistant to wear and tear, including etching, scratching, and breaking. Moreover, depending on the variety of quartzite chosen, it may be a more affordable option than marble.
- Quartzite is a hard and durable material for countertops. With proper care and maintenance, it can last a very long time. It is also rare and has unique patterns and designs that will be the envy of every guest and neighbor that walks through your kitchen halls.
- Quartzite is strong, durable and can go a long time without maintenance. A light once over with soapy water can be enough maintenance most of the time. Quartzite however can break in environments of extreme heat and the surface can easily be scratched by sharp metals. Some variants of quartzite may also require resealing from time to time. Given the rarity, the colors and patterns may be limited.
- Quartzite is among what they call maintenance-free surfaces. A once over with warm water and some soap will be all that you need on a daily basis.
- Heat is the kryptonite of quartzite. As the material is made from high heat and pressure, it is also reactive to the same. The good news is, a towel or rag might be all you need to keep your quartzite countertops safe.
- Just like most natural stones, prolonged, and repeated exposure to acid may cause stains. Although quartzite is mostly resistant to household acids from drinks, cleaning agents, and fruits, it would be best to wipe them off after exposure.
- Being a naturally porous stone, quartzite is still known to absorb water. This quality will mean that prolonged and repeated exposure especially to standing water may cause stains over time. Sealing and constant cleaning and drying will easily prevent this.
- Quartzite countertops in Chicago will set you back around $60 to $100 per square foot. This is attributed to its design, rarity and durability.
