Quartzite countertops in Austin are having a moment right now, and honestly, it makes sense. This is a material that holds up through years of daily kitchen and bathroom use without asking much from you in return.
At Architectural Tile & Stone, we have worked with quartzite for over two decades. We bring slabs in directly from processors in Italy and around the world, and every piece comes through our warehouse before it goes anywhere near your home.
Quartzite is a natural stone. It starts as sandstone and transforms under intense heat and pressure underground. The result is a dense, hard surface that resists scratching and stands up well to heat.
A lot of people mix it up with quartz, which is an engineered product. Quartzite is fully natural, and no two slabs look the same. That matters when you want a kitchen or bathroom that feels personal and not off-the-shelf.
We handle everything in-house. Fabrication, pre-installation layout, and installation are all done by the same team. That means fewer handoffs and more control over the finished result.
Our team uses the Slabsmith program to show you exactly how the stone’s veining and pattern will look in your space before any cutting begins.
Appointments are available, though walk-ins are welcome too. If you can bring cabinet samples, paint chips, or flooring pieces, that really helps our team point you in the right direction.
Our showroom is at 9315 Neils Thompson, Austin, Texas 78758. Call us at (512) 420-9989 to set something up.
At Architectural Tile & Stone, we have been matching Austin homeowners with the right stone since 1999, one careful slab at a time.
