Quartzite is one of the leading products in our company---Xiamen Dragon Stone Co., Ltd.
Quartzite is a naturally occurring substance, and in ground-up form it is combined with resins to form a hard surface much like engineered granite. Most
Quartzite countertops are well over 90% quartz, which gives it the hardness and lack of porosity needed for the heavy demands of cooking. Some manufacturers also combine antibacterial substances.
The chief benefit of the quartz
countertops is its natural luster. Whereas pure polymer-based solid surface countertops such as Corian have a hard time achieving a deep, three-dimensional appearance, it's easy for quartz countertops to have this because of their natural appearance. Also,
Quartzite is extremely hard and makes for a good work surface.
When dealing with natural slab
Granite you're going to have a lot more problems with potential cracks and staining than you will with
Quartzite. Also, the installers have a bit easier time dealing with
Quartzite than they do with granite because it is a more forgiving material for fabrication.
