As mentioned above, Cambria is almost fully made from quartz. This makes it extremely hard and strong. The material will not wear or tear over time and will last for many years. This can be evidenced by the fact that it comes with a 25-year warranty. Kitchen countertops are subjected to a lot of abuse. Most materials will start showing chips, stains or scratches, but not Cambria quartz.

One of the main drawbacks of natural stones such as marble and granite is that they require regular maintenance in the form of polishing and sealing. This makes these materials very high maintenance. On the other hand, Cambria quartz is just the opposite, as it requires less maintenance. You don't need to seal it at all since it is already sealed during manufacturing with polymer resin. All you need is to just wipe with some water and soap, if needed, to clean.

Since Cambria is a sealed material, it is non-porous and non-absorbent. Kitchen counters are constantly in the presence of moisture. Porous or absorbent material will absorb this moisture, which can then lead to the growth of bacteria. This is definitely something that you do not want in the place where you cook meals for yourself and your family. Cambria quartz in the UK is one of the most hygienic materials that you can get, and it is also NSF 51 certified.

Not only is Cambria a high-quality material it is also one of the elegant surface materials. The finish that this material offers is unparalleled. It comes in so many colours and patterns that, irrespective of the style that you choose for the kitchen, you would not have any difficulty getting the perfect countertop to complement the style. Cambria countertops also come in two finishes - matte and high-gloss. These two finishes combined with a wide range of colours and patterns are another reason for Cambria's popularity.

In the pursuit of the perfect home, one shouldn't forget about the environment. Cambria is manufactured using safe and sustainable practices that do not harm the environment. It also has Mindful materials certification, is compliant with the Living Building Challenge and is listed as Health Product Declaration Collaborative v2.1.
