Natural stone

Quartzite.

The beauty of marble with the strength of granite.

Quartzite forms when sandstone is transformed under high pressure and heat, fusing quartz grains into an extremely dense and hard stone. The result is a material with veining and depth reminiscent of marble, but with considerably higher durability.

Quartzite withstands heat, scratches and wear very well, which makes it a first choice for kitchens that are used hard. Note that genuine quartzite is natural stone and should not be confused with composite (“quartz”).
