Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between quartz and quartzite?

Quartz is an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments, offering consistency and low maintenance. Quartzite is a natural stone, formed through the metamorphosis of sandstone, known for its unique veining and higher heat resistance—but it requires sealing to protect against staining.

Is Taj Mahal quartzite durable for kitchens?

Yes, Taj Mahal quartzite is extremely durable and ideal for kitchen countertops. It resists heat, scratches, and etching better than many natural stones, making it a popular choice for high-end kitchen surfaces.

Do quartzite countertops need to be sealed?

Yes, natural quartzite should be sealed upon installation and resealed periodically (typically once a year) to protect it from stains and moisture absorption. Proper sealing ensures long-lasting beauty and performance.

How do I clean and maintain my quartzite countertops?

Use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap and warm water for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals. With proper care, quartzite maintains its luxurious finish for years.

What edge profile works best with quartzite countertops?

Quartzite looks stunning with a mitered edge, eased edge, or beveled profile. The choice depends on your kitchen design—mitered edges create a thick, waterfall look, while eased edges offer a clean, modern finish.
