Is Quartzite a Good Material for a Benchtop?
Quartzite is an excellent material for kitchen benchtops. While it is not as common as Granite, it has the same strength and durability as granite while still having the appearance of Marble. Unlike marble, it is resistant to etching and scratching. As a result, Quartzite is a beautiful material for an island countertop.
Due to the quartzite slabs' similar size to granite slabs, most kitchens require multiple slabs. Ensure that the colours and veining at the seams are consistent so the countertop seems to be a continuous piece. Remember the precise alignment that may not be achievable, so we strive to reduce the decorations as much as possible.
There are varieties of surfaces and finishes that can be used to modify the appearance of the quartzite. A polished surface will appear shiny, highlighting the stone's colours and the veins. Honed surfaces offer a softer, matte appearance with minor veining and colour variations. These surfaces of a leathered surface are slightly rough as a sheer gloss.

The Durability
Granite is frequently credited with being a long-lasting benchtop material. However, just because granite is durable doesn’t imply other benchtops aren’t as well. Quartzite is not only durable but is also more substantial than granite. Quartzite is between a seven and an eight on the Mohs scale, whereas granite is between a 6.5 and a 7. On the same scale, marble is usually a 3 or 4, while quartz is a 7. Quartzite is, in fact, the toughest of all tabletop materials.
The density of a benchtop is a critical consideration. Quartzite benchtop is denser than granite, which means it has fewer pores. Due to its density, quartzite rarely needs to be sealed. Despite some professionals claiming otherwise, the use of a sealer regularly will help to avoid deterioration. Quartzite, on the other hand, is less likely to stain.
Quartzite Edges
Almost any edge profile achieved with stone can be achieved with quartz. Two of the most frequent treatments are the standard eased edge, softly rounded over to avoid any harsh angles, and the more whimsical ogee, which resembles an S curve on its side.
Fabricators will work with you to choose an edge that complements the style of your kitchen and the thickness of the countertop—typically ½, ¾, or 1¼ inches—and will shape the profile using a template given by the manufacturer. Custom designs, such as a chiselled, bare edge or a gently cascading three-level waterfall-style profile, are available from fabricators. Remember that the more complicated the edge, the more expensive it will
