Quartzite is a natural stone that combines the look of marble with a surface harder than granite. Taj Mahal, White Macaubas, Kalahari and a dozen other stones are in stock as full slabs — every slab is unique, and the worktop is made to your measurements in our own factory.
Quartzite is one of the hardest kitchen worktop stones — everyday scratches and knocks are no threat.
Light, dramatically veined surfaces without marble’s sensitivity to acids and scratches.
Natural stone is chosen from a full-size slab in the showroom — you get exactly the pattern you see.
As a natural stone, quartzite tolerates hot pans considerably better than composites.
The names are often mixed up: a quartz worktop is a factory-made composite, whereas quartzite is a quarried natural stone formed from sandstone under great pressure and heat over millions of years. The result is a stone that is harder than granite but often looks like marble — which is why quartzite has become a favourite of architects and kitchen designers for statement projects.
The best-known quartzite is the beige Taj Mahal, whose soft pattern suits both modern and classic kitchens. Popular light stones are White Macaubas and Madreperola, among the warm tones Kalahari, and for something more unusual there are the blue Ocean Blue and Blue Roma. You can see the full range with prices below — and in our showroom you always choose the stone from a full-size slab, not a small sample piece.
As a natural stone, quartzite needs sealing from time to time — we explain care honestly in our care instructions. In return you get a surface that hot pans and sharp knives will not trouble.
Filter the range by colour, thickness and price — the €/m² price is shown on every stone’s card. In the showroom you can compare shades as full slabs.
In hardness quartzite beats granite — it is practically the hardest material a kitchen worktop is made from.
Dramatic veining and depth that a composite cannot reproduce. Every worktop is one of a kind.
Natural stone tolerates heat clearly better than resin-bound composites.
A quartzite worktop is an investment: it lifts the look of the kitchen and the value of the home just as marble does — without marble’s risks.

Quartzite is a natural stone formed from sandstone under great pressure and heat. It is even harder than granite, and many quartzites have a marble-like veining — which is why it is a popular choice when you want the look of marble and the durability of natural stone in one worktop. Quartzite is not the same as quartz composite (a factory-made quartz worktop).
Quartzite is a quarried natural stone, a quartz worktop is a factory-made composite. Quartzite is harder and tolerates heat better but needs sealing from time to time — the composite, on the other hand, is completely non-porous and needs no treatment.
Yes — Taj Mahal is the world’s best-known quartzite. Its beige, softly veined surface suits almost any kitchen, and it is part of our stock range.
Like natural stone, it copes clearly better than composites. We still recommend a trivet — a sudden thermal shock is not good for any stone.
Day to day, wiping with a pH-neutral detergent is enough. As a natural stone, quartzite is sealed from time to time — our installer advises on the right interval and product at installation.
