Darker colours of white quartzite worktops such as this one are a good alternative if you don’t want to deviate enormously from the standard white kitchen worktops.
2. White quartzite worktops do not have to cover the entire length of the kitchen surfaces. The worktops in large kitchens with wood cabinetry and copper accents can be designed entirely of white quartzite. The Acara Grey worktop features a somewhat symmetrical pattern allowing you to choose this stone if you have an area of the kitchen or bathroom that needs to stand out.
3. When designing a white kitchen, you can craft it tastefully down to the smallest detail. For example, you can use the cooking section of your worktop in black marble and the kitchen island in Acara Grey quartzite. It is an excellent approach to generate an impressive aesthetic and a distinction between the sections you use for doing the washing up and those you use for cooking.

Before completing your project, our worktop installers will seal your Grey Acara quartzite worktops for a second time, ensuring no dirt or bacteria can penetrate their surface.

You must wash and dry the worktop after cleaning it to clear any residues from the surface.

Below are five simple recommendations to help you keep your quartzite worktops pristine for many years:

• Avoid placing very scorching things directly on the worktop. To avoid scratching the stone, we recommend using a chopping board.
• If any liquids fall on the worktop, wipe these up right away.
• Don’t chop straight on the worktop to avoid potential surface scratches.
• Avoid using harsh cleaners like metal scrubbing pads. Instead, to avoid damage, lightly brush the stone.

Here are four questions you may want to know more about before purchasing quartzite for your home, office or business:

How Is Quartzite Made?

Quartzite is a natural stone that was originally sandstone. Over millennia, the heat and pressure from biological processes transform the sandstone into quartzite by crystallizing its structure, providing the glassy appearance of the material.

Where does the name quartzite come from?

This stone’s term is ‘quartzite’ because it comprises primarily natural quartz (silica).

Are Quartzite and Quartz The Same?

Don’t confuse it with ‘quartz’, the generic term for engineered quartz. Quartz is the common term given to artificial stone materials currently on the market by brands such as Silestone, Caesarstone, Quartzforms, Compac Surfaces Company, etc.

Can Quartzite Handle Heat?

Yes. Quartzite can withstand temperatures of over 200°C without altering its surface. Furthermore, the melting temperature for quartzite starts at 625-650°C and has a maximum temperature of 900-1000°C. Unlike manufactured quartz, natural quartzite does not contain polymer resins, ensuring it never develops surface burning or scorching.
