Looking to elevate your kitchen with a bold, luxurious touch? At BuildRite LLC, we recently completed a stunning kitchen remodel featuring Blue Ijen quartzite countertops with waterfall edges—a masterpiece of natural beauty and high-end design.
Quartzite is one of the most sought-after countertop materials for homeowners who crave the elegance of marble but need something stronger and more practical for everyday use. As a natural stone, quartzite is mined, cut into slabs, polished, and sealed—resulting in a surface that offers both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Often mistaken for quartz, quartzite is actually more similar in appearance to marble, showcasing intricate veining and dramatic patterns. However, it’s considerably more resilient to scratches, heat, and wear, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like the kitchen.
One of the highlights of our latest project is the Blue Ijen quartzite—a rare and luxurious stone featuring striking hues of deep blue, gray, and white, enhanced with natural veining. Its visual impact is further elevated by the waterfall edge design, where the stone cascades gracefully down the sides of the cabinetry for a seamless and sophisticated look.
Blue Ijen is perfect for homeowners who want to make a bold yet elegant statement. Whether paired with neutral cabinetry or contrasted with dark tones, it becomes the undeniable focal point of the space.
While quartzite is extremely durable, proper care ensures it stays beautiful for years to come. Here are a few simple guidelines:
Wipe spills immediately, especially acidic ones like wine, lemon juice, or coffee.
Use mild dish soap and warm water for daily cleaning.
Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners like bleach, ammonia, or acid-based products—they can damage the sealant and leave stains or etch marks.
Re-seal your quartzite countertops periodically (usually once a year) to maintain protection and longevity.
