Does anyone have Cambria Preston countertops?

15 years ago

And if you do would you mind sharing a picture? I want replace my countertops with quartz, and based on a sample I saw in a store I think this is the color I like. However, it makes me nervous I've been able to find no pictures of actual countertops in this color anywhere on the internet or a display at any store. Thanks in advance for your help!

your samples will NOT match the actual product no matter how large and Cambria will not guarantee your satisfaction. Go with granite!

We had Cambria Somerset installed a month ago- it's a perfect match to the sample and we love it!

Cambria's Preston color
Q
Comments (0)
Hi -- Cambria's newest colors include Preston. Anyone have this as a countertop, or for those of you involved in the industry, have a showroom with a countertop made of this color? Does it read more "grey" or are there olive- y or mustard-y tones to it? I am also considering Silestone Alpina White and Cambria's Sheffield. TIA.

Anyone Have the Waterford Design Cambria Countertops?
Q

I share your interest, as I've been searching high and low for photos of a Cambria from the same collection (Windermere). Because these 'colors' were released this winter, there are not many installed photos out there. I hope someone can help you. I have seen 12X6 samples of the Cambrian Collection, and I think that they are all beautiful. Is Waterford the one that has an occasional blue sparkle amidst black/gray? If so, I remember it as being quite stunning. All cambria is the same price. A bonus! I've found it to be the same price as a mid-grade granite and less than all other quartzs. I love it and can't wait to have it installed in a few weeks (Windermere).

Anyone have CAMBRIA 'Reading' Countertops?

Hi- We love our Cambria Somerset and have not had any problems of any kind with it. No scratches, chipping, dings, huge resin blobs.... It is absolutely beautiful and was the best choice for us because of it's ease of care, resiliency and the Somerset was the perfect compliment to the sandstone wall we have on one side of the kitchen. Good luck!

Does anyone have Cambria Summerhill with stained cabinets?
Q
Comments (13)
No, It is the same as Summerhill but doesn't have the grey vein running thru it which has the sparkles. When I ordered samples I ordered the 12×12 as it gives you a better sample. If your near Hastings, MN you could come see it installed ὠ9. I have a huge kitchen; I was worried I would get too much gray as stained cabinets is my primary focus. Thus the reason I used both; seeing it now installed. It was a homerun! If I was going with only one and stained cabinets. I would definitely choose PendleHill.

Our Cambria Windsor had to be done in two slabs on our lengthy island, and the two slabs did not match each other, as they came from different batches. One looked grey-er and one had more beige in it. In any light, you could see the seam.

Both Cambria and the fabricating company were wonderful in getting replacement counters for me. The countertops on the island now match and they look seamless, but they are slightly beige-ier than the counters along the sink wall which I didn't have them replace (due to sink and stove cut-ins), but NO ONE notices any difference in color.

They will not guarantee matches to the sample, though.

I don't have Preston. I have Bradford. My experience so far is good. I didn't have any problems to be resolved (who knows what would have happened if it did), no seams in a 3' x 7'+ island, no unsightly resin globs. We did already get a teeny tiny tomato stain in one place. No big deal, just a bright spot of red, like one of those little red spiders that you can barely see.
