Not Super White ... NEW Super White Quartzite. Opinions?
Comments (23)Beautiful slab. I can only dream as that would look perfect in my kitchen. About how many sq feet are you having. I was hoping to keep our counters (65 sq ft) coming in at about $5000. We have splurged on appliances. I am a sucker for nice appliances. Was thinking $6000 for appliances, came in about $16,000. Oh well moderate countertops will look great next to my range. New super white and polar white marble come in right on target. Waiting to hear about Mont Blanc and a couple calacattas which are most likely too expensive....See MoreNew Super white/Olympus quartzite
Comments (65)I have honed Vermont Danby marble in my kitchen, 5 years ago. I have carrara marble in my powder room for 20 years. I do not like the etching in my kitchen and I am sorry I got the marble. But what is worse is that the marble in my powder room oxidized at year 19, with big ugly splotches of rust, brown, yellow . Joseph commented on my 'oxidize' which I posted to warn potential users of marble. He said that the toilet leaked and water was the trigger. I mainly dont like marble for my kitchen because I wanted a modern look and marble has a more traditional/transitional flavor. I struggled with selecting a countertop and settled on marble after some months and it was a compromise. But I never received one compliment on it either. I do like cooking and baking on it. I think if you love love it you will perhaps forgive it's sins but as a gardenwebber, I have to share. I have no stains whatsoever and a couple of dings. Im pretty sure that I will get quartz for my new kitchen....See Moresuper white quartzite?
Comments (9)Yes, many stone yards can label Quartzite as marble, but if it is a true Quartzite the stone yard should have no problem testing it for you. Quartzite is an incredibly hard and durable stone unlike marble. therefore the yard should test it in front of you as proof. Also, some stone yards will sell you "that slab" but in reality will sell you one they have in the back somewhere so make sure you get the slab they test in front of you if that is the one you want....See MoreQuartzite Super White vs. New Super White
Comments (8)"Our stone company said that the New Super White that we already purchased is a Quartzite we already had template so there is no going back for us now. Sadly I came across the information that it is not a quartize after the fact. Countertops go in next week so thinking maybe I can have stone company out on an additional sealer before and know what I am getting into. I really hope I wasn't duped...feeling a little dumb that I just took their word for it." I disagree. You're in a position of strength now. They want to get tops installed in order to be able to collect. If you don't take delivery, they can't collect. A critical part of business is customer education which leads to customer satisfaction. They haven't properly set customer expectations; make them do their job please....See Morenhbaskets
