Product Attributes

• All Natural Quartz - Durable and Everlasting - Cambria is 93% quartz, twice as strong as granite and will last far longer than other stone and laminated countertop materials.
• Cambria Natural Quartz Surfaces™ have a lower "carbon footprint" compared with other imported quartz products - Cambria is made from quartz primarily mined in North America. Cambria is the only quartz product made in the United States. It is produced and shipped from Minnesota to North American partners, then to the end user. Other quartz products, primarily manufactured in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, require greater shipping and transportation resources than Cambria.
• Cambria GREENGUARD Certification - Why it Matters - GREENGUARD certification offers consumers the independent assurance that Cambria has no impact on indoor air quality.
• GREENGUARD: Indoor Air Quality - Cambria is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute(GEI) under the GREENGUARD Standard for Low Emitting Products. The accredidation means that Cambria meets the GEI's indoor air standards for low chemical and particle emissions and contributes one point in any LEED-certified building project in the Indoor Environmental Quality category.
• GREENGUARD: Children & Schools - Children are more heavily exposed to environmental toxins than adults. They consume more food, water, and have higher inhalation rates per pound of body weight than adults. Cambria is proud ti be GREENGUARD for Children & Schools^SM certified by the GEI as safe for schools and daycare. Cambria also complies with State of California's Department of Health Services(CDHS) Standard Practice for testing chemical emissions, a more stringent certification than GREENGUARD's indoor Air Quality certification, and can be used to earn valuable credits in the CDHS Best Practices Manual for K-12 schools.
• NSF International Certification - For more than 60 years, NSF International has helped protect consumers by certifying products and writing standards for food, water, air and consumer goods. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, NSF's ongoing public health commitment is to encourage everyone to live safer. Cambria meets NSF 51 Food Zone Compliance, its nonporous surface resists staining and prevents absorption of moisture and food materials which can harbor harmful bacteria. Cambria doesn't require sealing or maintenance to protect its surface; it is naturally safe for your home and commercial food preparation areas.
• No chemical cleaners or sealers required - Cambria, unlike granite, is virtually worry-free and exceptionally easy to maintain. Cambria is twice as strong as granite. Granite is porous and subject to staining if not maintained with sealers, conditioners, cleaners and wax. Just wash Cambria with warm water. It's that simple.
