If you are looking to install a countertop that is both aesthetically pleasing and durable enough to withstand everyday use, then quartzite may be an ideal choice. After installation and proper sealing, quartzite is relatively low-maintenance, although it does require periodic resealing to preserve its stain resistance. Allied Gallery can help you select your countertop and complete the installation process, enhancing your home’s value. Here are three reasons to install quartzite countertops:
1. Durable Design
Quartzite has the appearance of marble, but is more durable. It can withstand the rigors of daily use, whether in the kitchen or the bathroom. It is resistant to chips, scratches, and stains because of its hardness. This gives it an elegant look while being long-lasting. Once it has been sealed after installation, you reduce the risk of staining due to the sealed pores on the surface of the material. With proper sealing, quartzite resists liquid absorption, making it easy to wipe up spills before they can stain.
Quartzite is also heat resistant, making it ideal for busy kitchens. This adds both practicality and beauty to your kitchen. Many countertop stones, such as granite, might fade in the sun. Quartzite is naturally resistant to UV rays, making it a suitable choice for sunlit kitchens or select outdoor applications, although prolonged direct UV exposure may still affect some stones over time. Some people may prefer to use quartzite on their outdoor countertops due to its resistance to fading.
2. Unique Patterns
Because quartzite is a naturally formed stone, no two slabs are the same. When you get them installed as countertops, you can expect a unique stone due to its veining and pattern. Allied Gallery offers a wide range of patterns and selections for quartzite countertops, from classic, marble-like patterns to darker shades of blue with brightly contrasting colors. Not only does quartzite add a unique quality to your home, but it also enhances its value due to its exceptional longevity and durability.
3. Timeless Appeal
Quartzite is a beneficial countertop choice because it is compatible with various interior styles. It also complements kitchen accessories such as cabinetry and flooring. Some styles include:
- Modern: Opt for a lighter-colored stone with subtle veining to complement a clean, minimalist look.
- Farmhouse: Choose a stone with earthy colors and conspicuous veining to pair well with wood cabinets.
- Antique: Certain stones will complement ornate designs, as well as leather or wood furniture.

They can help you identify the right stone, with one-of-a-kind coloring and patterns. Quartzite complements a variety of design styles, offering versatility as weel as enduring elegance.
