    Cambria Quartz With Veins

    If you love the look of natural stone but are looking for a surface that is low maintenance and worry-free (almost), Cambria could be a good option for you. Cambria has used nature as the inspiration for a large number of its colors and designs, making this countertop option a desirable choice for those looking for the look and feel of a natural stone without the maintenance. Cambria has all of the fabulous properties of quartz (stain resistance, heat resistance, and scratch resistance), and you never have to seal it like natural stone.

    One of Cambria's offerings that deserves recognition is Torquay, a soft marble look-alike. This stone has gray and white colors with a hint of a taupe undertone. It is especially nice to warm things up. This stone works great with wood tones and painted finishes.

    Cambria Galloway Is Inspired by the Sea

    Cambria's Coastal Series includes Galloway. It has a touch of green and gold, which was inspired by seaweed and greys inspired by the sandy seashore. The vein pattern looks like low tide on a mossy beach. The quartz companies have all discontinued most of their greens, so the Galloway is extremely exciting for green lovers as well as beach lovers.

    Summerhill from the Cambria Coastal Series has that low-tide look like the Galloway. It has creamy colors mixed with sandy greys. Because the colors don't have high contrast, it provides a neutral color that looks like a granite-marble hybrid. This color is versatile and could be found in traditional as well as contemporary designs.
