Light Up Your Cristallo Quartzite Installation in Chicago
From the Gold Coast to Lincoln Park, Chicago homes and commercial spaces are embracing natural stone features like Cristallo Quartzite to bring elegance and personality into the room. But without proper lighting, this stunning material often gets lost in the shadows. That’s where we come in.
At Nu World, we specialize in LED backlighting systems specifically designed for translucent stone. Our ultra-thin panels are custom-built to fit behind quartzite slabs on countertops, backsplashes, walls, fireplace surrounds, and more—giving them that “wow” factor day or night.
We don’t sell the stone—we provide the light that makes it shine. All panels are built to size, plug-and-play ready, and shipped directly to your project site in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois.
Why Choose Nu World for Backlit Quartzite?
Cristallo Quartzite is naturally translucent, which makes it the perfect candidate for LED backlighting. But it needs a purpose-built system—not strips, tiles, or bulky light boxes. Our panels are edge-lit using high-CRI LEDs and come in thicknesses as slim as 6mm.
We’ve supported projects throughout the U.S. for over 15 years. From commercial towers to private residences, our lighting systems are trusted by designers, architects, and fabricators across North America.

Ideal Applications in Chicago Homes and Businesses
- Kitchen countertops and islands
- Backsplashes with under-cabinet illumination
- Commercial reception desks and lobby walls
- Bathroom walls and custom vanities
- Bar tops and wine feature walls
We also provide optional layers like acrylic spacers and diffusion films for highly transparent slabs. You can test your panel and slab combination on-site—or follow our trusted layering method upfront.
Common Questions from Chicago Designers & Installers
Q: What type of power supplies do you offer?
A: We offer plug-in and dimmable drivers (ELV, 0–10V, Lutron-compatible), with most clients placing the driver in a cabinet or electrical box.
Q: How do I know if my quartzite needs diffusion?
A: If your stone is highly crystalline or transparent, we recommend a ½” clear acrylic spacer and a diffusion film (like Lee 452) for a smooth glow. See our layering guide for full details.
Q: Do you work with Chicago stone fabricators?
A: Yes. We often coordinate directly with fabricators to ensure a seamless fit. Just provide us with slab dimensions or cutout drawings, and we’ll do the rest.
