Quartzite Countertops

Unique Colorways

Due to its natural origins, no two slabs are the same. People are often drawn to the gorgeous colors and patterns of quartzite countertops, which typically have ethereal movement and color pallets. Due to the subterranean pressure that helps form quartzite, the slabs have streaked patterns similar to marble.

Some of the most popular quartzite colors are Fantasy Brown, Super White, Taj Mahal, Everest and Macaubas. Many of the top sellers feature blue, gray, white and beige coloring.

Versatility

Quartzite is very versatile and can be used in so many spots of a home or business. Quartzite countertops are popular for kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, and fireplace surrounds.

If wear and tear is of high concern, it’s best to discuss the specific quartzite stone being considered with a fabricator, to understand if it’s the right fit for the space.

Stone Characteristics

• Requires occasional sealing to protect against stains and spills

Cleaning

Metropolitan has sealed the stone at time of installation. Additional applications are encouraged and may be required on more porous stone. Liquids such as water should bead on the surface of the countertop, when they stop beading it’s a clear indication that sealer should be reapplied. Additional applications are the responsibility of the homeowner. Countertops should be cleaned with a neutral cleaner. Metropolitan sells neutral cleaner.
