Sea Breeze Quartzite

SIZE(S)/THICKNESS(ES)
3/4" (2cm slab)
1-1/4" (3cm slab)
Sea Breeze Quartzite is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Brazil. This quartzite will have some veining in the slabs which gives it more of the look of a marble than a quartzite. Because quartzite is harder than granite, Sea Breeze is perfect for kitchen countertops. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched; meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and polished to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab or tile. As a natural stone product, it is recommended that this be sealed to extend its longevity.
