White Taj Mahal Quartzite Slab

Brazil White Taj Mahal Quartzite Stone Slab for Countertops and Wall Cladding Tiles

Natural Quartzite, which is popular as a commercial product, is very beneficial to both miners and consumers. Not only in appearance, the use of quartzite stone and granite has opened up a diversified market for natural stone products, and the application scope of these stones has also been expanded to both internal and external walls. Stone with low abrasion resistance is often affected by some products with high corrosivity when used in industry, commerce, and housing. It also includes some stone materials used for external walls, which will be affected by acid rain.

This means that they are more likely to penetrate into the surface of marble than some of the liquid spots. However, more and more materials after polishing are coated with a layer of resin or waterproof layer to prevent the penetration of liquid and surface spots.

Taj Mahal Quartzite features a soft white background and subtle gold veins. All-natural quartzite is more durable than granite and is known for its wispy and dramatic veins like marble. Use this elegant natural stone to create beautiful quartzite countertops, waterfall islands, floors, and accent walls throughout the home and commercial properties.

Taj Mahal is a quartzite from Brazil. This white quartzite resembles the Italian Calacatta marbles in appearance but is much harder and more durable. It can be used for kitchen countertops without having the scratching and etching issues experienced with marble.

What’s the difference between Quartzite and Quartz?

Quartzite and quartz are often confused, but they are two different surface materials. While quartzite is a natural stone, quartz surface products are an engineered, manmade material. Both products contain natural quartz minerals, but manmade quartz surfaces are manufactured through a process where the minerals are ground up and fused with binders like resin. By adding pigments and manipulating the process along the way, quartz countertops can be made in a variety of colors and can mimic the look of natural stones like marble.

While both materials are considered very durable, natural quartzite stands up well to the elements, while engineered quartz is more sensitive to heat and sunlight. This makes natural quartzite suitable for a range of uses, including outdoor applications, while engineered quartz is best kept indoors, as prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause warping or cracking. Lastly, engineered quartz is made to be non-porous and never needs to be sealed, while natural quartzite might require occasional sealing.

 In which areas of the home should quartz be used?

A: Use quartz for kitchen counters, bathroom vanity tops, fireplaces, shower surrounds, windowsills, and coffee tables. Businesses can use quartz for food service counters, conference tables, and reception tops. Just remember that quartz cannot be used for exterior purposes as it can discolor with too much exposure to ultraviolet light.
