WHAT IS CAMBRIA?

Cambria is a QUARTZ COUNTERTOP and surfacing product that has a variety of uses in your home or business such as countertops, backsplashes, floor tile, vanities, fireplace surrounds, wet bars, showers, etc. Cambria consists of pure, natural quartz—one of the hardest and most common minerals on Earth—and pigments and binders. Some of our designs have the natural look and feel of granite, marble, and other quarried stones, but they all feature superior performance because of Cambria’s strength and durability. Cambria is nonabsorbent and nonporous and will not absorb food and liquids like granite does. And best of all, it is maintenance free.

HOW DOES CAMBRIA QUARTZ COMPARE TO GRANITE?

Cambria is made from natural quartz, one of the hardest minerals on Earth, for superior durability and performance. With Cambria, you get the look and feel of granite, but receive greater strength and the benefit of it being nonabsorbent and maintenance free. Simply clean Cambria with warm water, a soft cotton cloth, and mild soap, if desired. Cambria is stain resistant and never needs sealing or reconditioning. Granite is a porous stone and needs to be sealed regularly with a chemical treatment. It can absorb liquids and food, risking potential staining and bacterial growth within the countertop.

HOW BIG IS A CAMBRIA QUARTZ SLAB?

IS CAMBRIA SEAMLESS?

Cambria's slab sizes differ based on the design; the use of seams will vary based on slab size and application. Check with your fabricator to understand what your application will require. Note: there may be a visible pattern and shade change at each seam. However, these seams are often less noticeable than a typical granite seam.

IS CAMBRIA A NATURAL STONE?

Cambria is made from pure natural quartz, pigments, and binders. Quartz is the extremely hard mineral that gives Cambria its strength. Our unique process results in a quartz product of uncommon elegance, style, and superior strength. It’s stronger than granite and is nonabsorbent.

IS CAMBRIA MADE OR MANUFACTURED IN A PLANT?

Our slab manufacturing facility converts natural quartz into slabs by combining pure quartz with a small amount of pigment and binders. Through the recombining process, we are able to create slabs that are nonabsorbent, strong, and compact.

WHAT RANGE OF CAMBRIA PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE?

Cambria is an excellent surface choice for a wide variety of uses, including kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, shower and tub surrounds, furniture tabletops and accent pieces, fireplace surrounds, desktops, wet bar areas, and window sills. Cambria is available in 6mm, 1cm, 2cm, and 3cm thicknesses. Various edge profiles can also create the appearance of a thicker slab. We invite you to explore the many ways in which Cambria can be used throughout a variety of interiors.
