Quartzite Countertops in Macomb County, MI

What Are Quartzite Countertops?

Do not confuse quartzite with quartz. Quartz is engineered in a factory. Quartzite is quarried natural stone, a metamorphic rock that started as sandstone and was transformed by heat and pressure over a very long time.

The result is one of the hardest countertop stones available, often with flowing veins and light backgrounds. Like granite, every slab is unique and it should be sealed. Because it is so hard, it takes more time and care to fabricate, which is why choosing an experienced fabricator matters.

Why Homeowners Choose Quartzite

• Natural stone with marble-like veining
• Very hard and scratch resistant
• Handles heat well
• Every slab is one of a kind
• Makes a statement on islands and waterfall edges

Best for: Homeowners who love the look of marble but want a tougher natural stone.

Caring for Quartzite Countertops
