What is Azul Macaubas Quartzite?

Azul Macaubas Quartzite is a factory-pressed quartz slab rather than quarried rock, which is why it is non-porous and never sealed. Installed, engineered quartz runs $120 to $150 per square foot, below granite, quartzite and marble. Variation between slabs is moderate, so look at yours before it is cut.

What to expect once it is installed

A medium variation grade. The practical meaning is that you can choose this one from a single piece and not be surprised on delivery day.

Certifications

Certified to GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. Gold is the higher of the two Greenguard tiers, and the difference between them is a lower limit on indoor emissions. NSF speaks to food-contact safety — the surface is rated for food prep — rather than to indoor air. It contributes toward LEED where that is part of the brief.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Azul Macaubas Quartzite itself, not from its name.

We measured this slab's own swatch at #9D948A — mid-light and near-neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Warm Speckled Stone (Granite), so that is what the recommendations below are built from. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.

Cabinets

Olive Drab Green — Olive cabinets and warm stone share the same earthen yellow base, so the kitchen reads as one grown thing rather than parts from a catalog.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
Dusty Blue — Warm stone keeps dusty-blue cabinets from tipping nursery — the sandy flecks pull the blue toward coastal-grownup, and the busy surface hides crumbs between wipe-downs.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Warm White / Ivory — traditional comfort; undertones agree. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Espresso — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the slab reads as the light element dated

Questions about Azul Macaubas Quartzite

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Azul Macaubas Quartzite?

Azul Macaubas Quartzite comes in one size, 2 cm. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Azul Macaubas Quartzite?

Its maker rates it for countertops · wall · flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

What color is Azul Macaubas Quartzite, really?

We measured its own swatch at #9D948A — mid-light and near-neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

What is Azul Macaubas Quartzite made of?

Azul Macaubas Quartzite is a quartzite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.

Does Azul Macaubas Quartzite need sealing?

Yes. It is natural stone, so it is porous, so it wants sealing. Quartzite is the hardest thing we set — harder than granite — but hardness and porosity are different properties, and only one of them is on your side.
