Is all Super White Quartzite Soft and Brittle? - I have loved the photos of Super White Quartzite and everything i have read about quartzite, i.e., the look of marble but the durability of granite. I finally saw some at a stone yard and fell madly in love with it. When I gave the sample to my builder he pulled out his knife and proceeded to scratch it then dropped it on the ground and it broke into pieces!! Obviously, it was super soft and NOT scratch resistant. Has anyone else observed this? I have heard that some quartzites are brittle and unfortunately, it looks like this is one of them. »
shalago mbts- our island is 2 1/2 " thick. It's a pencil edge. Our cabinets are just white- industrial grade white. We were suppose to do Simply White by Benjamin Moore but when my cabinet builder started painting them, we noticed color variations and we had a lot of issues (we actually wrote on this forum last year for help and opinions from others who have experience with painted white cabinets) It was a nightmare. We finally realized not to go with a "fancy: name color and just do WHITE. Couldn't be happier. Does not give off any weird yellow/ gray/ blue tones.
This was the hardest part of our kitchen project! I plan on posting pictures on houzz soon.
mbts Shalago - thanks so much. that is very helpful. We are having custom cabinets and are going to go with white dove...hopefully it works out well. I just noticed that your ideabook photos and mine are nearly identical! I'm in Massachusetts. Great taste!
