Quartzite is a beautiful secret that people tend to get confused and mixed up with quartz. So let's clear this up a bit. Quartzite is a natural stone and is not considered engineered stone (man-made). Quartzite starts out as sandstone and is transformed into a masterpice over time as heat and pressure is applied through a natural process.
Quartzite is so beautiful and elegant, that it often gets confused with types of marble that are available on the market today, but it's actually stronger than marble! It's an extraordinary material and should be valued as such. Learn more about quartzite countertops and what they can do for you.
I’m sure you were hoping that we would give you a straight answer on this question, but it’s truly difficult to do. The best countertop material depends on your particular situation and what you will be using it for. Are you wanting something for looks that is stylish and luxurious, or would you prefer something more durable and non-porous, so that it lasts a long time and is harder to stain? Are you wanting a countertop for the indoor kitchen or outdoor kitchen?
These are all questions you must ask yourself. For example, granite might be a good choice for an outdoor countertop whereas marble probably isn’t our first or second choice. Ultimately, the best kitchen countertop material comes down to your taste and values.
Granite has been a popular choice for countertops for many years for a variety of reasons. Truth be told, it's an awesome natural stone solution that can be applied to many parts of the household. However, the trend in 2023 is showing that quartz countertops are increasing in popularity due to the durability and variety of styles available on the market today. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues into 2024 and beyond, but only time will tell. As of right now, quartz may be leading the pack, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best option for you. The "best" solution is what works best for you and your home!

To prevents staining your new countertops, we recommend that you are careful with the types of materials you use near them and always clean up the mess as quickly as possible. Try to avoid using harsh chemicals or acids on your countertops and get your countertop sealed if you can. If you have natural stone countertops, many of them will need to be sealed at least once a year.
Chips and cracks in your countertops can be frightening upon first sight. However, there are ways to remedy the situation if you find that your beautiful countertop has been damaged. For most issues, a color-matched epoxy or resin can fill in the crack or chip. However, you may need to contact your local stone and granite company or a professional for assistance and advice on repairing your natural stone countertop. If you are worried and have questions, please give us a call!
Firstly, you’ll want to take a step back and examine your entire space. The last thing you want to do is rush into picking a color or style without a little bit of thought first. However, keep in mind that neutral colors tend to work well in a variety of home space.s These colors include white, grey, and beige. Obviously, choosing very particular colors like blue or green may not mesh well with your environment over time, as many of us change our home styles over the years and may even sell our homes at some point. So keep that in mind when choosing a countertop style.
Polished finishes – These tend to have a glossy shine to them and can even enhance the colors and patterns present in the stone.
Honed finishes – These matte finishes are a bit softer and not quite as shiny as polished finishes are. They have a softer non-reflective feel that can help hide marks and blemishes over time, but the colors of the countertop material may not shine quite the same as a polished finish.
Yes, you can absolutely use the same material for different areas of your home (like granite or quartz) but you need to ensure that you have done proper research to ensure that the material you choose is meant for the particular area you are installing. For example,you would not want to install a delicate material in an outdoor space. So please get some professional advice if you are unsure about the location or durability of a countertop material.
