Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about J Adore Quartzite 2CM
Does J Adore Quartzite 2CM need to be sealed?
Yes. Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone and slightly porous - it should be sealed at installation and resealed every 1-2 years. Sealing keeps the surface stain-resistant against oils, wines, and citrus. We walk through care during the consultation.
Is J Adore Quartzite 2CM harder than granite?
Yes - quartzite is typically harder than granite on the Mohs scale (around 7-7.5 vs granite's 6-6.5). It's one of the most scratch-resistant natural stones for a kitchen countertop, and well suited to heavy daily use.
How is quartzite different from quartz?
Quartzite is a natural stone (mined and cut from the earth, like granite and marble). Quartz is an engineered product (about 90% natural quartz aggregate bound with resin). Quartzite has the marble-like aesthetic of a natural stone but is harder than marble; quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing but doesn't have the unique character of true stone. Both are excellent kitchen countertops - the choice comes down to whether you want a natural-stone read or engineered consistency.
