Frequently Asked Questions

What is quartz backlighting?

Quartz backlighting is a design technique where light panels are placed behind the quartz creating a mildly translucent, glowing surface and appearance. Backlighting is available in select Cambria quartz designs and thicknesses. The effect is best in areas with low to mid-level lighting, where the radiance can truly shine.

Which Cambria designs can be backlit?

Only a select number of Cambria designs are suitable for backlighting, as the process requires a certain level of translucency.

It's always best to confirm with your fabricator or Cambria directly to ensure your chosen design is compatible with this technique.

What is quartz bookmatching?
