Cambria counter tops are engineered from quartz pellets and resin binders. Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on Earth and provides a very hard surface that is scratch resistant. The manufacturing process results in a synthetic stone. And because it is synthetic, it is non-porous, making it stain resistant, and virtually maintenance free. And unlike natural stone counter tops, it never needs sealing. That is why every Cambria counter top comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. And the wide variety of colors and patterns available mean anyone can find the perfect choice to go with their personal style and sensibility.
