Aurora Blue quartzite is one of a kind in looks. It's soft veining and light contrast in colors really makes it stand out!
Understanding Quartzite
It’s more durable than granite. The two are both natural stones, both are hard, and both are very beautiful, but you have to look a little deeper to see if one is a better fit for you than the other. Both are formed deep within the earth from heat and pressure, so both stones are hard and sturdy. At a 7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, quartzite is actually harder than granite. It’s harder than all the other popular stones used in countertops.
Many people love the look of quartzite because some types can look very much like marble. Another difference between the two stones is the fact that most quartzite is denser and less porous than granite so some people don’t even seal the stone at all.
Quartzite and quartz are two very different materials. Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone formed when sand is heated and compressed within the earth. Quartz contains pieces of ground quartz combined with resin and polymers to create a man-made material that’s pretty and strong.
Quartzite may seem expensive. However, it can be less expensive than most marble. When comparing the price to either granite or quartz, you’ll find they fall in a similar range. Generally, the more ‘exotic’ i.e. rare, the higher the price. Quartzites that look like marble can fetch higher prices because of demand.
We hope you personally check out our beautiful quartzite selection!

Born a classic. Named after its expression. Clean lines and uncomplicated elegance make Baseline an obvious starting point for the interior decoration of your living room. Baseline is the epitome of quality, comfort, and classic design. Plus double the flexibility. With its stylistically consistent simplicity, Baseline glides effortlessly into any interior. Moreover, we have produced it in a varied series of corners, centre elements, stools and chaise-lounge which provide almost unlimited possibilities for individual combinations. Build the modules in systems - or choose them as free-standing furniture.
Both the seat and back are upholstered with a super flexible layer of pre-compressed fiberfill which optimizes sitting comfort and gives a soft, rounded look. You can easily purchase movable neckroll pillows and large down pillows, 55 x 65 cm, so Baseline invites even more relaxed enjoyment. The 25 cm broad armrest gives a balanced finish and also lifts the sofa which seems to float freely in the air on its legs of black-stained wood that are only a few centimetres high.
You can choose your cover from Eilersen's large fabric collection. The cover is removable and fitted with velcro so you can easily take it off and clean it (follow the care and maintenance instructions of the fabric). Under the cover, the sofa is further protected by a base cover in 100% cotton.

Featured on the Discovery Channel's Renovation Nation, this green solar home built on a narrow infill lot is passively heated, naturally cooled and solar powered. Unlike conventional homes built with wood or masonry, this home is built from the soil from the excavation on site. A machine uses very high pressure to compress the soil into a brick. The compressed earth bricks, wrapped with a continuous layer of foam insulation to retain heat, form a structurally sound massive exterior wall that is an integral part of the home’s passive heating and cooling system. In the winter, the sun coming through the south facing windows heats the house and warms the walls. At night, the massive walls radiate heat back into the home. Features of this house include 3000 gallons of rainwater collection, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation, and non-toxic materials. The home is certified by EarthCraft Virginia green building program.

After breaking out some concrete, we installed some piers for an addition and our piers will support the roof structure. They provide a great uplift resistance (tension) as well as over 33000 lbs of compression. It's a great application and no digging or concrete to mess with.
