What are the best countertops materials. I am also discussing everything you need to know about before deciding on new countertop material for your remodel or when you are building a new home.
In my opinion, the best materials are those that score high when compared on different factors like looks, function, maintenance and durability.
Quartzite Countertops Quartzite slabs are available in a wide range of colors. You can find quartzite slabs in light colors like white, grey, beige with subtle vein pattern.
Quartzite is a very hard stone which means it is scratch resistant. This natural material is also heat resistant. You can put hot pans directly on the quartzite kitchen island without worrying.
Since it is a natural stone, quartzite requires sealing. To make sure its longevity and stain-resistance, you need to seal quartzite countertops at least once a year.
Quartzites are considerably expensive. The prices are relatively high if you compare it to granite cost. Quartzite do not require a lot of maintenance.
