1. Top 3 reasons why
Indian Quartzite is
gaining popularity

2. Quartzite countertops are synthetic compounds made by man. They have quartz as the
base material which forms at least 90 percent of its composition. Quartzite is made
from ground quartz and blended with resins, synthetic fibers and polymers. They come
in amazing hues and patterns as they can be mixed with pigments and chemicals. Once
solid, Quartzite offers excellent strength and polished surface finish. Quartzite is
similar to granite in structural durability and has a freckled look owing to the presence
of coarse quartzite.

3. 3 REASONS WHY INDIAN QUARTZITE IS
GAINING POPULARITY

4. BLEND OF NATURAL QUARTZ AND
SYNTHETIC POLYMERS
Quartz is a naturally occurring material, mostly occurring in the sands and ocean
floors. Quartzite has the combined property of quartz and sandstone. They are fused
under great pressure and heat. The underlying layers of sandstone is filled with the
particles of quartz and they form a glue like structure giving a more compact
structure.

5. Quartzite is harder than quartz and is resistant to compression. Heat and water have no
effect on its surface and it is also resistant to tremendous amount of force applied
directly on it. On Mohs scale, Quartzite scores 7. Diamond is the hardest with a score of
10 while talc is the softest at 1. Granite has a reasonably fair hardness score of 6.5. This
highlights that quartzite is a better option in any case when compared to sandstone,
slate and granite.

6. SIMPLE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Quartzite, just like other natural stone items, must be protected from the usual
enemies. Quartzite gets etched when acid or oil stains the surface. Most kitchen
countertops are made of quartzite. It is commonly used for sinks and bathroom fits as
well, owing to their great artistic look. India and Brazil are the largest producers and
exporters of the Quartzite stone. The pricing of the quartzite stone largely depends on
the color, pattern and strength of the slabs.

7. NATURAL CRACKS THAT CAN BE HEALED
Protection and maintenance of the quartzite are similar to granite. It has a little issue
with water absorption as they can get stained internally and then crack from inside.
Larger crystal build up and construction of quartzite depends on the purity of the
quartz particles used. In addition to the construction, the amount of silica also plays a
big role in maintaining its position as the superior product compared to granite

8. In some cases, the quartzite structure might have natural cracks owing to the
pressure and heat applied during the process. The greater the space between the
layers, rougher would be the surface. It can be reduced by machining, but by adding
an extra bit of polymer and synthetic resin. Indian Quartzite is rising as a star in the
league of neo-synthetic building blocks made of naturally occurring stones.
