Tell me about the stone

Earthy and rugged, Gold Green quartzite is the perfect backdrop for the country kitchen of your dreams. Its harsh metallic hues contrast perfectly with warm and cozy wooden furniture, creating the perfect balance of natural materials.

Quartzite's rustic charm is unmatched by any stone. It has a consistent, fine-grain which results in a subtle swirling pattern throughout the stone. While it cannot be described as totally uniform, as each tile has its own unique texture and pattern, the absence of large veins and crystals means this is a reliable stone.

As one of the most hardwearing stones out there, quartzite is a great investment. It is formed when shale undergoes certain temperature and pressure changes which alter the soft stone to form a hardened rock. It is incredibly dense and is difficult to scratch or damage. While it must be sealed upon installation, like most natural stones, the protective layer prevents quartzite from staining or obtaining moisture damage. It is a great natural material for those who are looking for a hardy household flooring, as it is more than capable of standing up to vigorous wear and tear.

Tell me about the tile's finish

In keeping with the tile's wild origins, it has a natural cleft face. This is created when the tiles are cleaved along their layers and formed into slabs. It is not reworked or ground down but retains its naturally occurring texture. While it is flat, the stone's grooves, ridges, and bumps are left intact. This is a great finish for those looking to add a touch of nature to their interior or want a patio or porch that will blend seamlessly with its surroundings.

There is no doubt that a natural cleft face is superior in many ways in terms of its design, but it's also one of the most functional finishes. Many tiles can become slippery when wet due to their lack of texture and grip. The bumpy surface of a natural cleft face gives the stone enough traction to prevent slips and trips.

A natural cleft face also adds to the stone's durability. Whereas some finishes can be easily damaged or worn down, the textured surface ages beautifully, only adding to the stone's charm.

What overall look will I achieve?

Quartzite is perfect for creating a relaxed home environment. Its earthy, dark surface contrasts beautifully with pale painted wooden kitchen cabinets, creating a stunning country kitchen. Keep the calming vibe running through your decor with neutral soft furnishings and elegant lighting. You'll create the home of your dreams at the drop of a hat with Gold Green quartzite.

Outside the house, Gold Green quartzite can be used to create a welcoming porch or entrance hall. Its functional finish, sturdy structure, and dark color palette make it perfect for dealing with heavy boots and wet shoes.
