quartzites
Why choose quartzites?
Quartzites are metamorphic rocks subjected to very high temperatures and pressures. They typically have a light colour and a medium grain. Quartzite is a very resistant material (hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale) and can also be used for external paving, passageways and cladding.
They are often associated with granites, since they share a similar composition and performance characteristics. They can be honed to the same degree of polish as granites. Quartzite has the look of marble, but it’s much easier to care for, so if maintenance is an issue that keeps you from marble, quartzite is a great alternative.
