Quartz is an engineered stone that is made up of crushed quartz particles mixed with resin and other materials, is durable and resistant to stains, scratches, and heat. Quartz countertops are available in a wide range of colors and patterns, and they tend to have a homogeneous structure. Quartzite, on the other hand, is a natural stone that is formed from sandstone and quartz under intense pressure. It is harder than quartz and has a higher level of resistance to scratches and heat. Quartzite countertops often have unique patterns and textures, making them a popular choice for those looking for a natural and distinctive look. Another difference between quartz and quartzite is the level of maintenance required. While quartz is non-porous and does not require sealing, quartzite is porous and needs to be sealed regularly to prevent staining.
