Quartzite Stone

Quartzite (also called quartz stone) is metamorphosed natural quartz sandstone and are found in association with other metamorphosed sedimentary rocks such as phyllite, schist and marble.

The soft, natural colors of the stone combined with the slightly metallic glint of the mica make quartzite a perfect complement to other natural stone materials. Quartz stone tile is a very hard material, it's fireproof, non-slippery and medium-grained, making it an ideal covering materials suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, adding a distinctive glistening touch to areas with either artificial or natural light. It's best to be used for pool decks, coping, stair and garden pathways.
