As one of the hardest natural stones available, quartzite it is highly resistant to scratches, cracks, and chips. Quartzite is known for its durability and ability to withstand daily wear and tear in a kitchen environment. Quartzite has a unique and luxurious appearance, often resembling marble with intricate patterns and veining. Quartzite is available in a wide range of colors and patterns, providing versatility in kitchen design.

When properly sealed, quartzite is very resistant to both stains and etching — but not as much as granite, especially light-colored counters. When cared for properly, quartzite will stay beautiful for decades.
Quartzite can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. To keep quartzite looking its best, a non-acidic, low pH soap and water, or stone-specific cleaners, are recommended. As with most natural stones, quartzite countertops should be sealed and resealed periodically (about every one to two years depending on usage).
Quartzite is extremely heat-resistant — withstanding temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for placing hot pans or pots directly on the countertop without worrying about damage or discoloration. This property is especially important in a kitchen, where high temperatures are common.
