Valley Designs embarked on a stunning remodel project in Park City, focusing on creating an inviting and luxurious fireplace hearth. The centerpiece of this transformation was the exquisite Paramount Quartzite, a material renowned for its dramatic, organic appeal. Sourced from Brazil, this multi-toned quartzite features stark, thick white veining that elegantly cascades across a muted taupe background, delivering a sophisticated aesthetic that instantly elevates any space.
The design team meticulously crafted a mitered edge for the floating hearth, a detail that accentuates the material's inherent beauty and adds a touch of modern elegance. The choice of Paramount Quartzite not only ensures a durable and visually striking focal point but also imbues the fireplace area with a sense of warmth and natural grandeur. This project perfectly showcases how the right material and thoughtful design can transform a simple hearth into a captivating space where anyone would love to lounge.

Yes. Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, ranking around 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. It resists scratching, heat, and daily wear, making it an excellent choice for kitchens and other high-traffic areas. When sealed properly, it’s also resistant to moisture and staining, giving homeowners both beauty and long-term performance.
Quartzite is easy to maintain with regular care. Clean daily with warm water and a mild dish soap using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can dull the finish over time. Depending on usage and the type of quartzite, resealing may be recommended to maintain its resistance to stains and enhance its natural luster.
Quartzite forms naturally when sandstone is transformed by intense heat and pressure, resulting in a harder and denser surface than marble. It often features the soft veining seen in marble but provides the durability and heat resistance closer to granite. This combination makes quartzite a popular choice for homeowners who want a luxurious look with outstanding strength and longevity.
