Advantages

Though Taj Mahal quartzite might be more expensive compared to other materials, there are some excellent reasons to use this natural stone in your home:

  • Longevity: Quartzite is more scratch-resistant and harder than granite, and much more long-lasting than marble, making it a ideal for high-use kitchens and homes.

  • Resale Value: High-end natural stone surfaces, such as quartzite, will increase your home's value for any potential future buyers.

  • Low Maintenance: Properly sealed quartzite is stain-resistant and a low-maintenance choice in the long run.

Compared to Quartz

Despite similar spelling, Taj Mahal Quartzite and Taj Mahal Quartz are actually different products.

Here’s a quick explanation of what makes the two different:

  • Natural vs. Man-Made - Quartzite is actually cut from the ground and shaped from large slabs, while Taj Mahal quartz is an engineered stone from a factory.

  • Durability - Quartzite is tougher and more resilient than both granite and quartz.

  • Maintenance - Quartz is non-porous and doesn’t require sealing, while quartzite is does require sealing to prevent stains, although it’s very easy to care for long-term.

Other Countertop Materials

Every material has its own pros and cons.

If Taj Mahal quartzite countertops aren’t perfect for you, there are many other options to investigate.

Learn about some of the features of each material below, or take our countertop quiz to find suggestions for the stone countertop that might be right for you.

  • A natural stone known for its durability, heat resistance, and one-of-a-kind patterns. Granite is great for high-traffic kitchens but may require periodic sealing to prevent staining.

  • Elegant and timeless, marble offers soft veining and a luxurious look. It's ideal for bathrooms or low-use surfaces, though it can be prone to scratching and etching from acidic spills.

  • Engineered for consistency and strength, quartz is non-porous, stain-resistant, and easy to maintain. However, it’s not as heat-resistant as natural stone and can discolor under high temperatures.

  • A natural stone that looks like marble but performs like granite—extremely tough and resistant to heat and scratching. It can be more expensive and often needs sealing to protect against stains.

  • A cutting-edge, man-made material that’s ultra-durable, heatproof, UV-resistant, and non-porous. Ideal for modern spaces, though it can be harder to fabricate and less forgiving during installation.
