Taj Mahal, White Macaubas, Super White, Cristallo, and Tempesta are among the most sought-after for their marble-like appearance with superior performance.

Once a year is recommended for kitchen quartzite. We apply a high-quality impregnating sealer at installation and advise on maintenance.

Quartzite ranges from $80–$180+ per square foot installed depending on the variety and rarity. We provide exact pricing after measuring your space.

True quartzite will scratch glass and won't etch from vinegar or lemon juice. We can show you slabs in person and explain what you're looking at before you commit to a material.
