Quartzite Counters

Anyone have them? I am leaning towards these for a new house remodel. Seems to give you the look of marble with the durability of granite. Any cons I should be worried about? I read reviews but always good to hear first hand knowledge.

Have them in my house and have no issues. Been durable look similar to granite. Best part is you don't have to seal them like granite.

Only con is price, but it's not a huge burden when you consider you don't have to seal.

Im building a house now and we're going with a mid grade granite about the same price as Quartz. We made the decision because my wife thinks it looks good and I let her make the decision

Re modeled w/ quartz in all the baths 4 years ago. No problems. A helluva lot more affordable than granite. They wear well. My bride is happy with them.

I use both granite and quartz when building houses. Quartz doesn't need sealed but never set a hot pan on quartz.

Quartzite is different than Quartz.

It has the look of marble with the durability of granite. Quartz Counters are technically engineered. Nothing wrong with that but it is different than what I am asking about.

Good deal.
