Sizes

Madreperola Quartzite is made in 2 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

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

What to expect once it is installed

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

Piece-to-piece variation: Medium

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

It has been tested and certified GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. The Gold tier holds a material to lower emission limits than the base certification does — a real gap, not a badge. NSF covers food-contact safety — it means the surface is certified for food prep, not tested for air. A LEED project can claim it; most kitchens never will.

What to put next to it

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

We measured this slab's own swatch at #CFB6A2 — light and warm. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Greige, so that is what the recommendations below are built from. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Cabinets

  • Pure White — walls one step warmer than the cabinets so the white reads crisp. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic

Countertop

  • White Veined (Marble-Look) — Greige keeps the veined white from feeling icy — the counter reads like linen instead of a showroom slab, and fingerprints vanish into the warmth.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Hardware

  • Warm Brass / Satin Gold — Brass pulls the hidden taupe out of greige, and as the lacquer softens over the years the pulls just look more collected, never tarnished.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Flooring

  • Natural / White Oak — Greige and natural oak share the same beige undertone, so the cabinets seem to grow out of the floor — a quiet trick that makes small kitchens feel seamless.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid

What is Madreperola Quartzite made of?

Does Madreperola 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.
