Quartzite Countertops in Charleston, SC

See our featured Natural Stone Countertop and Kitchen Island Project.

Thinking of quartzite for your kitchen countertops in Charleston? Quartzite is a natural stone that begins as sandstone. Intense heat and pressure deep within the earth fuse the sand grains into a denser, harder stone, and the result is a quartzite countertop with a bright, crystalline sheen. Its natural beauty brings together the look of marble and the strength you see in granite.

Unlike engineered quartz, which is made in factories, quartzite is a natural material. Quartzite is slightly harder than quartz and usually resists etching better than marble, but it is not immune to stains, so wipe up spills quickly. For daily cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Choosing quartzite gives your kitchen strength and beauty, thanks to its natural design and durability.

Imagine a kitchen countertop that is not just about looks but also works hard every day. Quartzite is a stone formed under intense heat and pressure, and every slab keeps its own veining and color. Taj Mahal quartzite is one well-known example. Because the name sounds like quartz, we confirm that your slab is true quartzite before you order.

Quartzite catches the light with a soft, crystalline sparkle. It is a hard, dependable stone for a busy kitchen. Homeowners who love the look of natural stone often find quartzite similar to marble in style, with different care needs. Ask us which slabs suit your cabinets and lifestyle.

• Matches your home design. Quartzite comes in whites, grays and warm earth tones, so it works with white cabinets and many other styles.
• A one-of-a-kind design. Every slab is unique, so your countertops are too.
• Durability. Its durability suits busy kitchens.

In short, quartzite is a practical and stylish choice for kitchen countertops. It looks high-end, handles everyday use well and rewards the right care.

Quartzite has style and strength, but natural stone countertops need a bit of extra care. Here are the cons of quartzite countertops.

Quartzite is available in these colors, and every slab is unique, so pick yours before we cut.

• Quartzite is a porous material, so it can soak up spills if it is not protected. It is sealed after installation, and the schedule depends on the stone and the sealer, so follow the sealer's label and have it checked about once a year.
• Professional installation. Quartzite is heavy and needs a team of pros to handle it properly, which adds to the cost.
• Higher price. Natural quartzite is quarried and finished slab by slab, so it costs more than some other materials. Our comparison guide puts installation at about $80 to $220 per square foot. See our quartz vs quartzite comparison.
• A natural color range. Color comes from nature, mostly whites, grays and earthy tones, with some pink or red from iron.

Quartzite pairs beauty with strength, but it likes a little care and can lean on the pricier side. It is worth weighing these cons when making your decision about new countertops.

We fabricate quartzite countertops to fit your kitchen or bathroom. Tell us the shape, size and style you have in mind, and we will check what the slab and layout allow.

We can plan islands, perimeter counters, L-shapes and custom shapes, depending on the slab. Larger layouts may need more than one slab, and we plan seams and veining during templating.

Texture changes the look, too. Choose from polished, honed or leathered finishes, depending on the slab. Polished quartzite shows its sparkle, while honed and leathered finishes feel softer and more matte.

Patterns vary by slab, from subtle veining to bold swirls. Every slab is unique, and seeing slabs in person helps you picture how the pattern will fall across your quartzite island countertop.

From the first template to the final fit, we guide you and you make the decisions. Whether you have white cabinets or stainless steel appliances, we help you match the slab to your kitchen.
