Quartz should not be discussed in the same conversation as natural stone. It’s clearly manmade and looks the part. If you’re into that, it’s perfect.

Quartz also can become discolored if exposed to excessive uv light so it shouldn’t be used outdoors.

I have white countertops throughout my home. Quartz in the kitchen and marble in the bathroom and the quartz looks a lot better to me than the marble does, but to each his own

I put Ubatuba outside on my patio and I love it.

No complaints.

Kind of splitting hairs between granite and quartzite, they both fall under natural stone, plus quartzite is like $75-80/ft. Pretty steep for outside an outdoor kitchen.


I agree. I wanted quartzite in my home but the neighborhood just can’t justify the cost. We went with a granite that looks like most quartzite they are putting in now for about half the cost. Win/win.

What do you like about the look of the quartz? You don't find it looks artificial?
