General Questions
What is quartzite?
Quartzite is a tough, natural rock formed underground when sandstone mixes with high heat and pressure. The result is a durable, beautiful stone exuding a variety of colors like white, gray, and pink. It’s an excellent choice for countertops and walls because of its durability and style. Each piece of quartzite is unique in appearance, ensuring the design is truly one-of-a-kind when used in a home or business.
How to clean quartzite countertops?
Cleaning quartzite countertops is not much unlike cleaning most other countertop surfaces. The easiest method is to wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in warm, soapy water. Be sure to avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, as they can cause damage. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Additionally, regularly sealing the countertops helps maintain their luster and protects them from stains.
What's the difference between Della Terra® Quartz and quartzite?
The fundamental difference between Della Terra® Quartz and quartzite is how each is created. Della Terra® Quartz is a man-made product, manufactured from quartz crystals and resin and holds a uniformity in its pattern and appearance. Quartzite is a metamorphic natural stone which evolved from a sandstone due to extreme heat and pressure.
Does quartzite stain?
While all stone surfaces are subject to the risk of stains, when sealed properly, quartzite is simple to care for and maintain. As with any surface, cleaning up spills quickly will minimize any “beauty marks” caused by usage.
Does quartzite need to be sealed?
Yes. For quartzite to retain its luster and durability, it is recommended that it be sealed to extend its longevity.
Is quartzite heat resistant?
Quartzite is more heat resistant most other countertop surfaces. As a safety precaution, use coasters or trivets on countertop areas.

Is quartzite good for kitchen countertops?
