Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between quartzite and other natural stones?

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that began as sandstone and was transformed through intense heat and pressure. This process results in an extremely hard and durable material that is more resistant to scratching and acid etching than many other stone varieties.

Can I use quartzite for outdoor applications?

Yes, many quartzite slabs are excellent for outdoor use because they are highly durable and can withstand UV exposure and temperature changes. Products like Florida Wave and Platinum Blue are popular choices for outdoor kitchens and feature walls.

How do I maintain the movement and color of my quartzite surfaces?

To maintain the appearance of your stone, we recommend regular sealing to protect against stains. For daily cleaning, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone to keep the surface looking its best.

Is every slab of quartzite the same?

No; because it is a natural product, every slab is unique. The veining, movement, and color concentrations vary from block to block, which is why we encourage customers to view their specific slabs before fabrication.
