Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning

Sealing
Seal quartzite every 12-18 months. While denser than marble, quartzite still benefits from periodic sealing to maintain its stain resistance.
Stain Prevention
Clean up spills promptly, particularly oil-based substances. The sealed surface provides excellent protection against most household stains.
Long-Term Care
Quartzite is exceptionally durable and requires minimal long-term maintenance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pads that could dull the polished surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between quartz and quartzite?
This is one of the most common questions we get! Quartz is an engineered stone made from crushed quartz mixed with resin. Quartzite is a 100% natural stone formed from sandstone under extreme heat and pressure. Quartzite offers the beauty of marble with the durability of granite, while quartz offers more consistent patterns and zero maintenance.
Is quartzite more expensive than granite?
Quartzite typically costs more than granite due to its rarity and the difficulty of quarrying and fabricating it. However, its exceptional durability and stunning marble-like beauty make it an excellent long-term investment. At KC Cabinetry & Stone, we offer competitive pricing on all quartzite varieties.
Can quartzite be used outdoors?
Yes! Quartzite is UV resistant and won't fade in sunlight, making it an excellent choice for outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas, and patio bars. It's one of the few natural stones that performs beautifully in both indoor and outdoor applications.
How hard is quartzite?
Quartzite rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale (granite is 6-7). It's one of the hardest natural stones available, making it extremely resistant to scratching, chipping, and everyday wear. This makes quartzite ideal for busy family kitchens.
How much do quartzite countertops cost in Kansas City?
Quartzite pricing varies based on the variety (Super White is more accessible, exotic varieties like Blue Louise are premium), slab thickness, edge profile, and project complexity. Contact KC Cabinetry & Stone for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific project.
Does quartzite need to be sealed?
Yes, we recommend sealing quartzite every 12-18 months. While quartzite is denser than marble, periodic sealing maintains optimal stain resistance. We seal all countertops during installation and provide care instructions for ongoing maintenance.
Is quartzite good for kitchen countertops?
Quartzite is one of the best natural stones for kitchen countertops. It combines the stunning veined appearance of marble with hardness that exceeds granite. It's heat resistant, scratch resistant, and with proper sealing, highly stain resistant. It's the best of both worlds.
