Quartzite LED Backlighting for Countertops, Walls, and Feature Panels
Quartzite is a striking natural stone that becomes even more dramatic when lit from behind. At Nu World, we specialize in custom LED panel systems designed specifically to illuminate quartzite in residential and commercial settings—from kitchen islands to wall features and bar faces.
We’ve completed quartzite backlighting projects in cities across North America including Los Angeles, Toronto, San Jose, Vancouver, Miami, and Calgary—bringing stone to life with seamless illumination.
Why Choose Quartzite for Backlighting?
Subtle Translucency: Many quartzites like Cristallo, Taj Mahal, Perla Venata, and Sea Pearl have partial translucency that pairs beautifully with our edge-lit LED technology.
Elegant, Natural Diffusion: The stone’s internal texture and veining help diffuse light evenly, creating a soft, glowing effect.
Durable and Timeless: Quartzite is extremely hard and ideal for high-use areas like kitchens, but when backlit, it adds a high-end design element that sets it apart.
Versatility: We’ve backlit quartzite in a wide range of applications including countertops, backsplashes, feature walls, floating vanities, and illuminated staircases.
LED Lighting for Quartzite Installations
Ultra-Thin Panels: Our 6mm frameless LED light panels are designed for tight installations with no visible hotspots.
Recommended Edge Detail: A mitered edge allows light to travel through the edge of the stone, enhancing the floating appearance.
Large Surface Applications: For larger islands or multiple panels, we recommend using a ½” to ¾” clear acrylic diffusion layer to eliminate visible seams.
