Best Uses for Quartzite Countertops
Kitchens
Quartzite’s heat and scratch-resistant surface makes it a chef’s favorite. You can place hot pans or pots directly on the surface without worrying about damage. Daily chopping and meal prep won’t dull the finish, keeping your kitchen pristine for years.
Wet Bars
Impress your guests with a wet bar topped with high-end quartzite. Its non-porous nature, when sealed, resists red wine and spirit spills. The unique veining creates a sophisticated focal point for entertaining spaces without the high maintenance of other materials.
Bathrooms
Transform your vanity into a spa-like retreat. Quartzite withstands the humidity and constant moisture of bathrooms better than natural marble. Its cool surface is also ideal for applying makeup or getting ready, providing a durable yet luxurious foundation.
Home Offices
Upgrade your office with a stunning executive desk or built-in shelves using quartzite remnants. The hard, durable surface resists dents from heavy monitors and writing instruments, while the natural stone aesthetic adds a professional, high-value look to your workspace.
Laundry Rooms
Use quartzite folding tables in your laundry room. Quartzite handles the vibration of heavy appliances without cracking. It also resists stains from detergent or fabric softener spills, turning a utility space into a beautiful yet functional area.
Outdoor Spaces
Quartzite is an excellent choice for outdoor kitchens due to its weather resistance and UV stability. It won’t fade in the sun and holds up well against freeze-thaw cycles, making it suitable for Mokena’s varied climate.
Quartzite Countertop Benefits
Highly Durable
Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones on earth, scoring a 7 (out of 10) on the Mohs hardness scale. It resists etching from acidic foods like lemon juice and vinegar, providing a worry-free surface that outperforms other materials in busy households.
Low Maintenance
While quartzite requires sealing (unlike quartz), it is surprisingly low-maintenance. With an annual or bi-annual sealant application, the surface becomes highly resistant to stains. Daily cleaning requires only mild soap, water, and a soft cloth – no harsh chemicals needed.
Countless Color Options
Quartzite is available in striking hues, such as dramatic blues, deep greens, rich golds, and soft pinks. Since it’s natural, each slab features unique veins and patterns, ensuring that your countertop is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Frequently Asked Questions About Quartzite Countertops
What is the difference between quartzite and quartz countertops?
Despite their similar names, quartzite and quartz are very different. Quartzite is a 100% natural stone mined from the earth, known for its marble-like veining and heat resistance. Quartz is an engineered stone made from crushed stone and resin. While quartz doesn’t need sealing, quartzite offers a more authentic, high-end natural look and is harder and more heat-resistant than most quartz products.
Can quartzite countertops be used outside?
Yes. Quartzite is highly resistant to sunlight and temperature fluctuations. It’s an exceptional choice for outdoor kitchens in Illinois, as it won’t fade, crack, or break down due to prolonged exposure to the elements.
Do quartzite countertops need to be sealed?
Yes, generally. While quartzite is dense, it’s still porous. We recommend sealing your quartzite upon installation and then annually thereafter. This prevents oils and colored liquids from soaking into the stone. Surface Solutions can perform this service for you and recommend the best sealants for annual upkeep.
How long do quartzite countertops last?
If properly maintained and annually sealed, quartzite countertops can last a lifetime (anywhere from 50 to 100 years). Since the stone is so hard, it won’t wear down. As long as the sealant is maintained and the stone isn’t subjected to extreme structural abuse, it’ll outlast most other materials in your home.
