  • Cambria Natural Quartz Surfaces Earns GREEBGUARD Certification for Products "Green" Attributes
  • ebuild (12/11/2006)
  • Cambria's natural quartz surfaces, the only domestically produced quartz surfaces, were recently GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified by GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). GEI verified that Cambria natural quartz surfaces do not emit harmful levels of chemicals into the environment. Cambria is a stain-resistant, non-porous surface that is harder, stronger and easier to care for than other countertop materials. Cambria also is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International for food preparation - there is no safer surface available to consumers.

  • Kitchen Products Review: Quartz Surfacing
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/1/2005)
  • Now that all the attributes associated with quartz surfacing are becoming better known, it's finally time for manufacturers to live a little and experiment with color. Some have used granite and stone as their guides, developing lines that mimic Mother Nature. Others have embarked on what might be called the artificial-but-hip route, with muted tones that resemble concrete or such high-octane hues as acid green and burnt orange.

  • Granite is one of the most prized counter-top materials, the ultimate status and style symbol in the kitchen. And with good reason—it's water-, heat-, and scratch-resistant; durable; and virtually maintenance free. It's a rich, lustrous natural material that upgrades the look of the whole kitchen. But manufacturers claim their latest foray into man-made stone, quartz surfacing, tops even granite in both aesthetics and function.
  • Kitchens That Cook
  • BIG BUILDER Magazine (8/20/2003)
  • That's the kind of test only a chef could come up with; someone who knows his way around a kitchen and, presumably, how to set up a kitchen to make it cook.
