Who loves their Cambria? I have read a bit on GW, but nothing about FIELDSTONE that I can find! PHOTOS!???? That would be great too....

No engineered stone is approved for UV exposure. It’s not an industry secret at all. None can go outside. Period. If your professionals that you worked with had done their jobs, you’d be an educated consumer and know that it’s not an exclusion just for Cambria. Direct sun from standard new windows shouldn’t pass enough UV to damage your floors, furniture, or e-stone. Standard windows already come with UV blocking properties, so if yours are so old that they don’t have it, you’ve got other issues about UV exposure in your house. Old windows need UV blocking film installed to avoid degradation to all kinds of interior finishes. Not just your e-stone. If it’s a relatively new window, that’s a conversation that you need to have with your window manufacturer. It’s defective. This is Not on Cambria. Or Silestone. Or Pental. Or Zodiaq. Or any e-stone manufacturer. New windows shouldn’t have issues with transmitting enough UV to damage your home.. Poop happens. This isn’t on Cambria. Talk to your window manufacturer.

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.

A friend of mine has Cambria and absolutely loves it. At any rate, I would strongly recommend that you ask your contractor to let you pick out your slab. Any good contractor will allow this (in fact, he/she should insist on it). If for some reason he/she won't permit this, get another contractor. Cambria is usually consistent throughout... best of luck! Here is a link that might be useful: cambria quartz
