What is Gray Canyon Quartzite?

It reads gray. Quartz is the least expensive stone Ace fabricates, at $120 to $150 per square foot installed. Gray Canyon Quartzite is a factory-pressed quartz slab rather than quarried rock, which is why it is non-porous and never sealed.

Sizes and finishes

How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.

Sizes

Gray Canyon Quartzite is made in 4 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

  • 2 cm
  • 3 cm
  • 108X42X2CM
  • 112x26x2CM

Finishes

It comes in 2 finishes. Finish decides how much light the surface throws back — a polished face will brighten a galley kitchen, a matte one hides water spotting near the sink.

  • Brushed
  • Polished

Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

Gray Canyon Quartzite carries a rating for countertops · wall · flooring, at residential duty.

Rated for

  • Countertops — residential

  • Flooring — residential

What to expect once it is installed

The ratings that decide whether the finished counter matches the sample.

Piece-to-piece variation: Medium

Variation between pieces: medium. Pieces run close enough that nobody will read the differences across a finished run.

Certifications

This one carries GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. The Gold tier is the strict one — it is set against the air-quality limits used for classrooms. NSF is about food contact, not air: it certifies the surface as safe to prepare food on. Useful on a LEED project; irrelevant on most kitchens, but it costs nothing to have.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Gray Canyon Quartzite itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #9F9E99 — mid-light and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest Concrete / Cement Gray in our pairing data. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

  • Pure White — soft modern; keeps a small kitchen light without going all-white. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid

Backsplash

  • Terracotta / Clay — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Steer away from

  • Light Gray — Flat gray on flat gray is the 2015 flip-house special — no undertone tension, so the whole room goes dishwater the moment the light drops.
