Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our quartzite countertops here.
Yes! Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, ranking a 7–8 on the Mohs hardness scale. This makes it highly resistant to scratches from everyday use and tough enough to handle heavy traffic in the kitchen. It’s also heat resistant, so hot pots and pans won’t easily damage the surface, though using trivets is always recommended for long-term care.
Quartzite is a natural stone, which means it is porous. To help prevent staining and make cleaning easier, sealing is recommended before installation and resealing periodically thereafter. Your fabricator will guide you on the best sealing routine for your specific stone and usage level.
Quartzite is a natural stone formed under intense heat and pressure, giving it unique veining and a glassy, elegant look. Unlike quartz (an engineered surface), quartzite comes directly from the earth, so no two slabs are alike. Compared to granite, quartzite is often harder and more resistant to scratches, while offering softer, more marble-like patterns.
