Quartzite is a hard, metamorphic rock which was
originally sandstone. Sandstone is converted into quartzite
through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic
compression within organic belts. Quartzite is strong and
durable which makes it lasting building material for
construction. Quartzite is resistant to wear and tear, has
high abrasion, hardness and resistance to chemical attack.
Being harder, consistency in dimensions and quality can be
maintained with various finishes.
Available in excellent range and finishes (polished, honed,
leather, flamed, sand blasted, shot blasted, bush hammered,
antique, etc.) with aesthetic appeal knowledgeable
architects, aware of its unique qualities, are using it more
extensively than ever before.
