Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartzite countertops here.

What is quartzite, and how is it different from quartz?

Quartzite is a natural stone formed from sandstone under heat and pressure, making it extremely hard and durable. Quartz, on the other hand, is a man-made surface composed of natural quartz crystals and resins. Quartzite offers a more natural look with unique veining, while quartz is non-porous and available in consistent patterns.

Is quartzite a good choice for kitchen countertops?

Yes, quartzite is an excellent option for kitchen countertops. It’s highly resistant to heat, scratching, and etching, making it ideal for high-use areas. With proper sealing and maintenance, quartzite provides both long-lasting performance and elegant beauty.

Does quartzite need to be sealed?

Yes, because quartzite is a natural stone, it is porous and should be sealed to protect against stains and moisture. Sealing once a year is typically recommended, but frequency may vary depending on the type of quartzite and how heavily the surface is used.

What our Customers are Saying

"I had an amazing experience with Wise Stone Choice! From the beginning Bri Thomas went beyond great lengths to help me find the exact color of stone I wanted and had it delivered from outside of the city in great time! Outside of that she made sure I got the exact shape and color of sinks I wanted for all 8 of my sinks and had them ordered and ready to go in a short of time. Jose and Luis were on time and very pleasant to deal with during the installation process. Very professional and courteous..Mason was very friendly and respectful. I’d highly recommend Wise Stone Choice to any of my family or friends whether you need a small vanity done or complete kitchen! I had them do my entire home and am extremely happy with the outcome!"

"Working with Wise Stone Choice on the countertops for our new house has been a great experience. From the first time I called them last winter with questions and suggestions right through to the installation, they have been professional and helpful the whole way. They walked me through the samples and yard to see what all they had to offer and made suggestions that they thought would work. We will definitely recommend them to others looking for a quality product and service."
