Pros of Quartzite

Looks like marble

Quartzite looks like marble. Its unique, swirling grey and white designs make the countertops look interesting and help create an impressive kitchen or bathroom.

Durable

Quartzite is a natural stone with properties like granite, including hardness and durability. The peculiarities of this stone’s formation make it highly resistant to heat and water, meaning it will remain damage-free for a long time.

Low Maintenance

If you have sealed your quartzite countertop, it will be easy to clean and maintain. Use mild dishwashing soap and warm water to clean spills and you’ll get a spotless countertop ready to use. Avoid chemical-based cleaners as these can damage the sealant.

UV Resistant

Are you planning to build an outdoor kitchen? Does your kitchen get a lot of natural light? Quartzite countertops are UV resistant so won’t fade or darken when exposed to direct sunlight.

Looks Great

Quartzite is ideal for contemporary kitchens and bathrooms because of its stunning visual appeal. Its unique veining and natural colors make it an interesting addition.

cons of Quartzite

Prone to Scratches

Although quartzite is strong and durable, it can be damaged by sharp objects like knives. Chopping vegetables on your quartzite kitchen countertop, for instance, will mark up the surface and leave scratches.

Expensive

Despite being cheaper than marble, quartzite is still an expensive material for countertops, just like any natural stone. Since it requires diamond cutters to cut, fabricating it to the size of your kitchen or bathroom countertop is an expensive process that demands skilled workers.

Porous

Quartzite is a porous material that needs to be sealed. In the absence of sealing, spills can seep in, leading to tough stains and bacterial growth, especially if spills are not wiped up right away. Seal your quartzite countertops at least annually to keep it shiny and free from stain.

what our clients say about our work!

I own 7 Day Kitchens in Charlotte. I have been working with Radim and his team at Waterfall Countertops for all our countertop and vanity projects in Charlotte for several years now. He is as honest as the day is long and takes his work and his commitment to his customers very seriously. We have worked on 20+ kitchen remodeling projects together over the last year and he always comes through. I strongly recommend Waterfall Countertops in Charlotte for your kitchen countertop and bathroom vanity top projects.

Radim's team at Waterfall Countertops did a stunning job installing our new Cambria quartz countertops and back splash in our Kitchen. Skillfully installed our new island and new the countertop on existing cabinets with the new pearl and marble tile back splash. Simply beautiful quality work from start to finish. Radim is very detailed in his preparation, prompt and responsive through entire process!

- Dee Pettit

I recently had a quartz countertop installed in my kitchen. It was a great process from start to finish. Communication was good, the job was completed in a timely manner and the end result looks great. A very nice gentleman came out to template and was very knowledgeable and thorough. The installers were on time, took care during the install and did a great job with the two seams. I can barely find the seams so I am very happy with that. I would absolutely recommend Waterfall Countertops and will use them again in the future.

- Cara Cortazzo

Radim and Waterfall Countertops was an absolute pleasure to work with on our kitchen project. He provided an in-depth consultation to help us make decisions, connected us with reputable suppliers for granite, tile and sink, and used high quality service providers for electrical, plumbing and tiling needs. He provided us with a timeline for the project and delivered as promised. Radim was flexible around our scheduling needs, a quick problem solver when unexpected situations occurred, a great communicator and a pleasure to have in our home. We could not be happier with the end results and would happily recommend him to others.
