PRO-TOPS specializes in fabricating and natural quartzite countertops for kitchens and baths. Quartzite is a natural stone prized for its stunning beauty and exceptional durability. Formed under intense heat and pressure, it has the elegant look of marble but with the strength and scratch resistance of granite. Its unique veining, wide range of colors, and ability to withstand heat and daily wear make it a standout choice for high-end, long-lasting countertops.
Origin Of Quartzite
Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock that forms when pure sandstone is subjected to high heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s crust. This process, called metamorphism, fuses the quartz grains in the sandstone into a dense, durable rock made almost entirely of quartz.
Quartzite countertops maintenance
Quartzite countertops are easy to maintain with regular care. Clean daily with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. Use cutting boards and trivets to prevent scratches and heat damage. Wipe spills quickly to avoid stains, and reseal the surface every 1–2 years to maintain protection and shine.
Countertop finishes can greatly influence the look and performance of quartzite, known for its durability and striking beauty.
For those seeking texture and character, a leathered finish enhances quartzite’s natural patterns with a slightly rough, pebbled surface that adds depth, resists fingerprints, and offers excellent stain resistance.
A polished quartzite finish brings out vivid colors and dramatic veining, offering a glossy, mirror-like surface that adds elegance and reflects light throughout the space.
