Macabus White Quartzite is a masterpiece of nature, renowned for its perfect blend of elegance and exceptional durability. This premium quartzite features a clean, bright white background, elegantly veined with soft, flowing patterns of grey, silver, and occasional subtle taupe.

Its remarkable strength and resistance make it the ideal choice for those who desire the luxurious look of marble but require the superior performance of a harder stone for high-traffic and demanding applications.

Macabus White Quartzite's combination of beauty and resilience makes it incredibly versatile for both interior and exterior use:
Kitchen Countertops & Islands: Highly resistant to heat, scratches, and staining (when properly sealed).
Bathroom Vanities & Wet Walls: Resists moisture and etching from acidic products.
Flooring: Durable enough for high-traffic residential and commercial areas.
Wall Cladding: Interior feature walls and exterior facades (check frost resistance for specific climates).
Commercial Projects: Ideal for hotel lobbies, restaurant tables, and retail stores.
Performance Note: Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones. While it is significantly more resistant to etching and scratching than marble, we still recommend sealing it to prevent potential staining from highly pigmented liquids. Its natural cleft and micro-fissures are characteristic of this material and do not compromise its structural integrity.
Durability: Offers the closest look to marble with far greater durability and lower maintenance.
Heat Resistance: Naturally resistant to heat, making it perfect for kitchen environments.
Aesthetic Versatility: The bright white background with soft grey veining complements a wide range of design styles, from modern to traditional.
Jumbo Slabs: Available in large formats, reducing seams and creating a seamless, expansive look in big projects.
Low Porosity: Its low water absorption rate makes it an excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
Superior Packaging: Each slab is individually protected with soft foam, reinforced plastic corner guards, and a final layer of waterproof wrapping. Slabs are securely packed in custom-built, crated wooden crates designed for international shipping.
Global Export Expertise: We handle all logistics to major global ports under standard Incoterms (FOB, CIF, CFR).
Insurance: All shipments are fully insured for peace of mind.
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 1 x 20ft container (approx. 25-28 sqm for 2cm slabs).
Samples: Small cutting samples (10x10cm) are available upon request to verify quality and color. Due to the natural variation, reviewing a full-slab layout or video is strongly recommended for project matching.
Lead Time: Approximately 15-20 working days after order confirmation and deposit receipt.
Payment Terms: T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) with 30% deposit, 70% balance against copy of Bill of Lading. L/C at sight is acceptable for established partners.

Disclaimer: Macabus White Quartzite is a natural product. Variations in color, veining, and texture between blocks and slabs are inherent characteristics and are to be expected. These variations are not defects but are a testament to the stone's natural origin. We strongly advise clients to approve the actual slabs for their project via video or photo selection before shipping. Specifications may vary slightly per production lot.
