STONE SPOTLIGHT: IRG’s MONT BLANC QUARTZITE STONE

1. Why is MONT BLANC QUARTZITE so unique?

With a creamy background and subtle veining resembling marble, IRG’s Mont Blanc Quartzite adds luxury and value to your home immediately upon installation. Unlike marble, however, this lovely Brazilian surfacing material offers practicality as well: it’s classic, versatile, and durable when properly sealed and maintained.

As with many light colored quartzites, your fabricator should pay special attention to sealing during the fabrication process of Mont Blanc and we encourage you to speak with your fabricator before selecting your slab.

2. Where can MONT BLANC QUARTZITE be used?

IRG’s Mont Blanc Quartzite is as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing. Use this material on countertops, countersplashes, kitchens, bars, and fireplaces. It also pairs well with a variety of cabinet colors and woods, and blends effortlessly with many design styles, although it is most popular today in clean, less-rustic applications.

3. How do I care for MONT BLANC QUARTZITE?

Quartzite is heat- and stain-resistant, making it a very durable and practical material. That’s why you can use it on everything from a spectacular waterfall kitchen counter to a minimalist installation. And remember, we highly recommend proper sealing on an 8-month to annual basis to keep out the moisture and bacteria while retaining its magnificent appearance.
