I’ve been on “Team Natural Stone or Nothing” until this gorgeous quartz stopped me in my tracks. I love it wholeheartedly. In comparison to this, all the quartzites and granites I’ve been looking at just don’t move me.

This is a hugely expensive endeavor, and I want to get something I love.

However… our kitchen gets relentless sun. From noon to sunset, all year round, it positively bakes our house.

Can adding UV-blocking film to my windows protect a quartz like this from discoloration?

Or do I have to suck it up and spend gobs of money on second-best? (HCOL area)

Kind honesty is appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT - our windows are brand-new standard-glass Anderson 400s
