What Is Quartzite?

Quartzite is an ideal material for a kitchen backsplash because it blends natural beauty with long-lasting strength. Here’s why quartzite backsplashes are such a smart choice:

  • Natural Formation: Quartzite forms when sandstone rich in quartz is transformed by heat and pressure deep within the earth.

  • Exceptional Durability: This process creates a stone that is harder and more resilient than many other natural materials.

  • Heat & Scratch Resistance: Quartzite stands up to daily use, resisting scratches, heat, and everyday wear.

  • Unique Patterns: Every slab features distinctive veining and colour variations, ensuring your backsplash is truly one of a kind.

  • Elegant Appearance: With its refined, timeless look, quartzite brings a level of sophistication that manufactured materials can’t match.

By choosing a quartzite backsplash, you’re investing in both style and strength that will elevate your kitchen for years to come.

Benefits of a Quartzite Backsplash

Why Homeowners Love Quartzite

A quartzite backsplash isn’t just a design choice; it’s an upgrade that combines strength, beauty, and long-term value. Here are the top benefits:

  • Unmatched Durability: Quartzite is naturally resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it ideal for busy kitchens.

  • Unique Natural Beauty: Every slab showcases distinct veining and colour variations, so no two backsplashes are ever the same.

  • Long-Term Investment: Quartzite adds lasting value and timeless appeal to your home, making it a smart upgrade.

  • Low Maintenance: Unlike softer stones, quartzite is easy to clean and maintain, keeping your backsplash looking beautiful for years to come.

With quartzite, you get the perfect balance of practicality and elegance for a backsplash that truly stands out.

Quartzite Styles to Match Any Kitchen or Bath

Quartzite backsplashes come in a wide range of colours and patterns, making it easy to find a look that fits your design vision. Here are a few popular styles to inspire your kitchen upgrade:

  • Modern Minimalist: Sleek white or grey quartzite with subtle veining creates a clean, contemporary feel.

  • Bold & Dramatic: Deep-toned quartzite with striking patterns makes a strong visual statement.

  • Warm & Inviting: Beige or earth-toned quartzite adds warmth and comfort to cozy spaces.

  • Luxury Statement: Bookmatched slabs deliver a seamless, high-end look that exudes sophistication.

No matter your style, quartzite offers the versatility and natural beauty to elevate your kitchen design.

What Our Customers Are Saying…

  • Natural Stone City, can't recommend enough! They were so nice to deal with. There is a huge warehouse they let you walk around to see all of the options. Will answer all of your questions and have different levels of pricing for their products. Very competitive pricing and if you pick one of their stones, you only pay for what you need - you don't have to buy a half or full slab ... Install was quick and efficient. Highly recommend and would go back to them if we ever build another house!

    Pamela Woodburn

  • Our very large island required a seam and it is virtually unnoticeable due to the care of the installers and the attention of the person laying out our stone for cutting. We are so incredibly pleased with our countertops. Great business, great people, and great product. Highly recommend.

    Susan Cruickshank

  • Very friendly and professional staff. Delivery and setup was quick and prompt. Follow up service for minor concerns were looked after right away. So impressed with my new countertops I have recommended Natural City Stone to others who are doing kitchen remodeling. Thank you!!

    Beverlee Ament

  • Natural Stone installed our quartz countertop in an efficient and timely manner. They were a pleasure to work with; from the sales person, to the receptionist, the accounting people and the installers. They communicated very well and I always knew what to expect and when. Kudos to all the staff and a company that went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

    Katherine Watson

  • Great company to deal with. So quick! Installed 8 days after I ordered! And the installation crew was fantastic! So kind and respectful. Using drop cloths across the floor, cleaning up as they go, using shop vac so no dust was made. I highly recommend them.

    Val B.

  • We are extremely pleased with the new countertops in our kitchen. The quality of both the countertop and the service was excellent ... The installers were professional and worked efficiently while maintaining a good eye for small details. We would highly recommend this company.

    Karen Aitchison

  • I am impressed by their honesty and left even happier with their company at the end of the day. We will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend. Plus our counters are beautiful and their installation team was very personable and professional.

    Tara Akuna

  • We worked with a few people at the Kitchener location and everyone deserves a five star rating. We would recommend them to anyone looking for countertops.

    Susan Richards

  • A fabulous company. I say that as this is the fourth time I have ordered countertops from Natural Stone City in the past 17 years for myself and my family. Each time I return I do so as the product they sell is exemplary. They even replaced the black granite they installed 17 years ago with a more modern one. The prices are also better than anywhere else I have checked with. Very pleased.
