Are Quartzite Countertops Right For You?

So you’ve planned your kitchen layout, you know you want those gorgeous cabinets with the ultra-sleek handles – but now you have to choose a countertop and you’re stuck. How do you decide which countertop material will look most beautiful in your new kitchen and will work best with your lifestyle? In our easy 10-part guide, we’ll talk about the top countertop materials from the expert’s perspective, and help you decide which is right for you.

This week, we’re looking at sleek and gorgeous quartzite.

Price: $40-$125 a square foot, depending on quality, source and uniqueness

Pros: Newly popular, this natural stone offers the hardness of granite and the lighter color palette of marble. It’s less stain-prone than marble, too.

Cons: Like all natural stones, quartzite needs to be sealed regularly to help it resist stains; once at installation, then once or twice a year after that. Variations in slabs make it difficult to get a consistent look in a large space.

How To Clean It: Wipe up spills right away. Clean with a paper towel and a stone cleaner.

Want it? Give Stone & Surface Specialists a call today on 801 856 0164 to schedule your FREE quartzite consultation and sealing. Our experts can advise on any area of this gorgeous stone you’re unsure about, and make sure it’s sealed and ready for action the minute it’s installed.
