FAQ
Taj Mahal Quartzite — Vancouver
Expect $130–$240 CAD/sq ft installed — premium over Ontario due to freight and lower yard competition on the North Shore.
Humidity accelerates sealer breakdown — specify penetrating sealers and reapply every 6–12 months in Kitsilano and West Van projects.
Leathered hides water marks in wet climates; polished maximizes gold veining for showcase kitchens in Shaughnessy estates.
Kitchen islands, feature walls, and powder rooms — avoid exterior horizontal use in heavy rain zones without breathable sealers.
Richmond and Burnaby slab yards stock Brazilian lots; North Shore buyers often cross to Vancouver distributors for exotic inventory.
