Packaging: Quartzite slabs are typically packaged with protective padding and wooden crates or A-frames to prevent damage during transport.

Weight: Quartzite slabs are quite heavy. For example, a 2 cm thick slab can weigh around 600-800 lbs (272-363 kg), while a 3 cm slab could weigh upwards of 1,000 lbs (454 kg).

Delivery Time: Depending on location, delivery can range from a few days for local orders to a few weeks for international or cross-country shipments.

Access: Make sure delivery trucks can access the site and there’s enough room for unloading.

Handling: Slabs may require a forklift or specialized equipment to unload due to their weight. 

Inspection: Inspect the slabs immediately upon delivery for any damages during transport, as shipping companies often have limited time for filing claims.

Initial Sealing: Quartzite is a naturally porous stone, so sealing it is recommended to protect against stains. 

Resealing: Depending on the usage, resealing should be done every 1-2 years. 

Mild Cleaners: Use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap with water. Avoid acidic or harsh cleaners (e.g., vinegar, lemon, bleach) as they can damage the stone over time.

Soft Cloths: Use soft microfiber cloths or non-abrasive sponges to wipe the surface.

Spills: Wipe up spills immediately, especially liquids like wine, coffee, or oils, to prevent staining.

Natural Variations: Quartzite is a natural stone, so variations in color, veining, and pattern are not considered defects.

Improper Maintenance: Damage caused by not sealing, using inappropriate cleaning agents, or failure to maintain the stone as recommended is usually not covered.

Installation Errors: Warranty might not cover problems resulting from poor installation. Always ensure that a professional stone fabricator or installer handles the installation.

Claims: If an issue arises during the warranty period, take photographs and document the problem.
