Timeless Elegance Meets Natural Strength
Luxury Natural Stone for Discerning Homeowners

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about marble & quartzite countertops
Marble can be beautiful in kitchens but requires realistic expectations:
- Best for: Bakers (cool surface), low-cook households, design enthusiasts who embrace patina
- Challenges: Etches from acidic foods (lemon, tomato, wine), stains without proper sealing, scratches more easily than granite/quartz
- Smart approach: Many homeowners use marble on islands or specific sections, pairing with more durable materials for high-use areas
If you want marble's look without the maintenance: Consider quartzite or quartz that mimics Carrara or Calacatta patterns!
They look similar but have very different properties:
Marble:
- Soft metamorphic rock (calcium carbonate)
- Etches from acids, scratches more easily
- Requires sealing and careful maintenance
- Develops patina over time
- Generally less expensive ($50-150/sq ft)
Quartzite:
- Very hard metamorphic rock (pure quartz)
- Harder than granite - extremely durable
- Highly resistant to scratching, etching, heat
- Minimal maintenance, less prone to staining
- Premium pricing ($75-200+/sq ft)
Bottom line: Quartzite gives you marble's beauty with granite's (or better) performance!
Marble requires consistent care to stay beautiful:
Daily maintenance:
- Wipe up spills immediately, especially acidic liquids
- Clean with pH-neutral cleaner (not acidic or abrasive)
- Use cutting boards and trivets always
Regular care:
- Re-seal every 3-6 months (more for white marble)
- Use coasters under glasses and bottles
- Blot spills rather than wiping to prevent spreading
Long-term expectations:
- Etching (dull spots) will occur - can be professionally polished
- Some staining may develop despite best efforts
- Many owners embrace the developing character as part of marble's charm
Yes, for many homeowners! Here's why quartzite justifies the premium:
- Superior durability: Harder than granite, resists scratches/chips better than any other natural stone
- Low maintenance: Less porous than granite, needs sealing only annually vs. every 6 months
- Heat & UV resistant: Perfect for kitchen islands and outdoor applications
- Unique beauty: Natural veining and patterns like marble, with translucent depth
- Resale value: Premium material buyers recognize and appreciate
- Lifetime durability: Won't need replacing - a true lifetime investment
Best value: If you love marble's look but need serious durability, quartzite delivers both without compromise!
