Quartz & Natural Quartzite

The main difference is that quartzite is a natural stone material while quartz is synthetic. Quartzite is a type of metamorphic rock created by sandstone being subjected to extreme heat and pressure from tectonic plate compression in the crust of the earth. The stone is then mined and sawn into slabs to become countertops or tabletops that are polished and sealed for beauty and durability. Quartz countertops, also known as engineered countertops, are made from natural silicon dioxide and synthetic materials blended with a binder and pigment before being formed into slabs with a similar appearance.

Marble

At Porter Tile & Marble, we’ve found that marble is a first choice for our clients. We've sold so many marble countertops that we included it in our name.
This igneous stone is always in heavy demand due to its inherent elegance and timeless esthetic.
It is available in wide variety of colours ranging from white, black, rose, yellow, grey and green.
Each slab is unique so you’re guaranteed to have your own piece of nature's art.
Marble can take the heat and stands up well to hot pans or sparks from a fireplace.
