Lava Quartzite

Lava Quartzite Worktops in London, UK

Lava Quartzite is a type of natural stone, often used in countertops, flooring, and wall cladding. Despite its name, it doesn’t come from actual lava—it’s called “Lava” because of its dark, dramatic color tones and intense veining that resemble molten rock or volcanic landscapes.

Key Features Of Lava Quartzite

• Origin: It’s a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under heat and pressure. It’s quarried in various countries, including Brazil and India.

• Appearance: Typically features shades of black, grey, brown, and sometimes reddish or gold streaks. The patterns can be bold and flowing, making it a striking choice for interior design.

• Durability: Quartzite is known for being very hard and durable, even harder than granite in many cases. It’s resistant to scratches and heat.

• Usage: Commonly used for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, wall features, and flooring due to its strength and beauty.

• Maintenance: Like other natural stones, it may need to be sealed periodically to prevent staining, especially in high-use areas.
