14 alternatives to Taj Mahal quartzite
Taj Mahal quartzite is one of the most requested materials for kitchens and bathrooms: a cream base with soft, golden-beige veining. Still, there are good reasons to look further. You may need a different thickness, a specific finish, a material with less maintenance or simply your own take on that warm look.
Short answer: to get as close as possible to Taj Mahal, choose BQS Taj Mahal, Unistone Taj Mahal or Uniceramica Taj Mahal. New to the range are Uniceramica Perla Santana, with a grey-green undertone and the same craquelé effect as Taj Mahal, and Uniceramica Makrana, with warmer veining that suits walnut and copper. If you want genuine natural stone with the same warmth, look at Travertino Classico Super or Travertino Alabastrino. For a more luxurious option, there are Lasa Dune and Cristallo Traslux.
