STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone and subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. This metamorphism gives Taj Mahal Quartzite its biggest advantage – durability, which means resistance to scratches, heat, and stains.

Compared to marble, this stone is harder and stronger, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like flooring and kitchen countertops. It also works beautifully in outdoor venues because its subtle colorations blend well with stone and greenery while it’s strength holds up to whatever nature decides.  

Whether you are using Taj Mahal Quartzite in a residential or commercial setting, this stone will stand the test of time.

THE ESSENCE OF ELEGANCE

Exceptional but subtle beauty is another of the hallmarks of IRG’s Taj Mahal Quartzite. Known for its varied patterns — ranging from delicate and wispy to bold and dramatic — the stone’s veining adds true depth of character, while its range of lighter colorations (creamy ivory, subtle beige, or khaki) make it a versatile choice for many different design spaces.

The light coloration of Taj Mahal Quartzite makes it an excellent choice for small spaces. Its reflection of light helps to create the illusion of space while not overpowering other elements in the room. And it can be used in larger spaces to create a sense of continuity between different areas, providing a cohesive and unified look.

A STONE OF VERSATILITY

Taj Mahal Quartzite can be easily incorporated into traditional, modern and minimalist interior styles due to its range of neutral colorations from beige and white to grey and brown. These adaptable undertones paired with finish options – honed, polished or satin/leathered – allow this quartzite to fit into nearly any design scheme or any space that calls for natural stone slabs. Its subtle colors and unique veining make it a great choice for creating a serene, spa-like atmosphere in a bathroom. And in living areas, its neutral colorations provide a great backdrop for artwork and other design elements.

The unique combination of durability and design versatility of this stone make it a popular alternative to white marbles. Whether you are remodeling your kitchen or another space in your home, consider Taj Mahal Quartzite for a high-quality and long-lasting surface choice.
