White Macaubas Quartzite Cross-Room Design Solutions

- Fireplace Surrounds: Quartzite is a perfect alternative to limestone and granite for fireplace surrounds. Fireplace surrounds are one of the most popular uses for quartzite in the home because it offers higher resistance to cracks than marble and limestone.
- Coffee tables and Console Tables: white, grey or black quartzite are beautiful natural stones for coffee tables and other home décor pieces. Natural quartzite is an excellent choice for a coffee table, a tabletop or even a fancy bar countertop, as it is resistant to cracking, scratches, and stains.
- Breakfast Bars: A quartzite breakfast bar is a sturdy choice for any kitchen. Kitchen islands also work well with quartzite, as it is more robust than marble, allowing you to create unsupported breakfast bars of up to 30 cm.
- Splashback and Shelf combinations: White Macaubas quartzite is also perfect for creating a shelf combination with a splashback, as it will not crack if the splashback gets wet. You can create shelves with mitred edges that wrap around the substrate, creating a modern and stylish feature in any contemporary or traditional space.
