Natural quartzite countertops with marble-like veining and strong resistance to wear, heat and etching.
Quartzite is a natural stone formed when sandstone is transformed under heat and pressure. It is hard, it resists etching better than marble and it can show the same flowing veins that make marble beautiful. That combination of beauty and toughness has made it a favorite for statement kitchens and islands. Homeowners in Nashville who want the look of marble with fewer worries ask us about quartzite.
Because quartzite is sold under many names and the quality of slabs varies, we encourage you to see the actual slab. We help you check its density and how it responds to a drop of lemon juice or a scratch from a knife point, and we explain what the supplier says about sealing. Quartzite is hard on blades and drill bits, so fabrication takes more care and time. We plan the layout, template, fabricate, install and seal, and we give you a simple care routine.
Slabs vary, so we suggest looking at the piece in person and asking the yard about the stone and its sealing needs.
Quartzite is dense and wears tools quickly, so fabrication takes skill and time, and edge details should be chosen with that in mind.
Dramatic veining can flow across a waterfall edge or backsplash, so layout planning matters.
Quartzite is usually sealed, and it needs the same gentle cleaners and prompt wipe-ups as any natural stone.

We remove the old tops, set the new ones level, join the seams, seal where needed and set the sink and backsplash.
We clean up, haul away the old countertops if you asked, walk you through the finished work and explain how to care for it.
It is often comparable or harder. Hardness varies by slab, so we test and ask the supplier.
Properly sealed quartzite resists most stains and etching better than marble, but some soft stones sold as quartzite behave differently.
Many types can. We check the stone and its exposure.
It is harder to quarry and fabricate, and popular slabs can be limited in supply.
Usually yes. We confirm the right sealer for the stone you choose.
