Look and Character

Best Uses
Use White Macaubas quartzite for kitchen countertops, statement islands, waterfall edges, bathroom vanities and accent walls. For a balanced design, combine it with white, gray, navy or natural wood cabinetry.
Care and Maintenance
Quartzite is very hard and stands up well to heat and daily use. Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner, wipe up spills promptly and reseal periodically to keep it protected.

Is White Macaubas Quartzite good for kitchen countertops?
Yes. It is a durable, practical choice for kitchen countertops, islands and vanities in everyday use.
