Taj Mahal Polished Quartzite

Taj Mahal Polished Quartzite Slabs and Countertops

Taj Mahal quartzite is a pristine countertop material that will be able to fit into a wide variety of home designs due to its white base with greyish brown veins. This beautiful natural stone is a great option for kitchen countertops, as well as bathroom countertops, fireplace surrounds, home bar tops, commercial bar tops, and outdoor kitchen countertops.

This white quartzite resembles the Italian Calacatta marbles in appearance but is much harder and more durable. It can be used for kitchen countertops without having the scratching and etching issues experienced with marble. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks, or fissures that may exist.

FAQ  of Granite and Marble Stone 

Is Quartzite a Natural Stone?

Yes! Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, which means it started out as one kind of stone—in this case, sandstone—and then it changed into a new kind of stone due to prolonged exposure to heat and pressure below the Earth’s surface. Depending on how intense that heat and pressure get, quartzite may exist on a spectrum. Lightly metamorphosed quartzite sometimes retains a “grainy” quality (a feature leftover from its parent rock, sandstone). Crystalline quartzite is less grainy and less porous. You can learn more about how quartzite is formed in our blog post explaining different types of quartzite.

What’s the difference between Quartzite and Quartz?

Quartzite and quartz are often confused, but they are two different surface materials. While quartzite is a natural stone, quartz surface products are an engineered, manmade material. Both products contain natural quartz minerals, but manmade quartz surfaces are manufactured through a process where the minerals are ground up and fused with binders like resin. By adding pigments and manipulating the process along the way, quartz countertops can be made in a variety of colors and can mimic the look of natural stones like marble.

While both materials are considered very durable, natural quartzite stands up well to the elements, while engineered quartz is more sensitive to heat and sunlight. This makes natural quartzite suitable for a range of uses, including outdoor applications, while engineered quartz is best kept indoors, as prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause warping or cracking. Lastly, engineered quartz is made to be non-porous and never needs to be sealed, while natural quartzite might require occasional sealing.
