Technical Specifications
Pitting and Veining
As Quartzite is a natural stone, pitting and veining will occur in random distribution of swirls. Subtle variations in shade or areas of contrast will also appear within the body of the worksurface.
Fissures, Blemishes and Natural Flaws
Some level of what could be referred to as spots or blemishes are inherent in the material. Small fissures are a common feature in Quartzite and these natural flaws were present at the rock formation.
Colour Variation (Drainers)
Drainer grooved and recessed drainers may be duller than the rest of the polished surface. Colour matching is not always possible and Quartzite can vary dramatically throughout each scant. Samples provided should be used as a guide only.
