Maintenance & Care for Quartzite Slabs
While quartzite requires minimal maintenance compared to other natural stones, proper care ensures its beauty endures for generations:
- Initial Sealing: All quartzite slabs should receive a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation.
- Regular Resealing: Depending on usage, reapply sealer every 1-2 years to maintain optimal protection.
- Daily Cleaning: Use pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for natural stone surfaces.
- Spill Management: Promptly wipe spills, particularly from acidic substances like citrus, wine, or vinegar.
- Physical Protection: While highly durable, use cutting boards and trivets to prevent potential damage.
Our stone specialists provide comprehensive maintenance guidelines with every quartzite purchase, ensuring your investment remains pristine.

Popular Questions
Frequently Asked Questions for Quartzite Slabs
How does quartzite compare to marble and granite?
Quartzite combines marble’s aesthetic beauty with granite’s durability. It offers the elegant veining patterns similar to marble but with significantly greater hardness and resistance to etching. Unlike granite, quartzite typically features lighter backgrounds with more delicate, flowing patterns that many designers prefer for contemporary spaces.
Is quartzite resistant to etching and staining?
Quartzite has excellent natural resistance to etching from acidic substances like lemon juice or wine. While more resistant to staining than marble, quartzite still benefits from proper sealing to prevent stains from penetrating the stone, especially for lighter colored varieties. With regular maintenance, quartzite maintains its pristine appearance for decades.
What is the price range for quality quartzite slabs?
Premium quartzite slabs typically range from $75-$200 per square foot, depending on rarity, origin, and visual characteristics. While representing a higher investment than some alternatives, quartzite’s longevity, performance, and timeless beauty provide exceptional long-term value for luxury projects where quality cannot be compromised.
How can I verify I'm getting genuine quartzite?
True quartzite is sometimes confused with softer stones or marketed incorrectly. At Superior Selected Stone, we provide mineralogical documentation for our quartzite slabs. Genuine quartzite should resist scratching from a knife blade and remain unaffected by a lemon juice test. We encourage clients to visit our showroom to experience the authentic qualities of our premium quartzite collection firsthand.
