Gold Vein Quartzite

What quartzite actually is

Natural stone. Looks like marble, but behaves much more like granite, so it handles daily kitchen use far better than marble does.

Warm cream stone with soft gold veining. A favourite for islands where you want the stone to be the thing people notice.

Best for: Anyone who wants the marble look without worrying about every spill.

Looking after it

Wipe a sealer over it about once a year. It takes roughly twenty minutes for a whole kitchen and we show you how on install day. Day to day, warm water and a little dish soap is all it needs.
