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.

They have the same degree of movement. The color is much lighter. So, it seems calmer. It's hard to find a slab. Get your fabricator to call around. They should be able to find someone who has a slab. I found a slab at a competitor. The competitor said it goes out as fast as it comes into the shop. I just got lucky to see it before they cut it.

We have polished Organic White countertops. We also get subtle metal marks that won't come out. These counters are just a few months old. No one else would notice it, but I certainly do. I would recommend getting a sample of the quartz you are considering and testing it yourself. Maybe we're just unlucky? Although, the number of websites that say "quartz doesn't stain" seem to be equalled by the number of websites that say "here's how to get stains out of your quartz". We haven't tried Magic Eraser and it is somewhat discouraged since it is abrasive, but we may try that next.

Simplechoice- that is helpful, I’ll look into the glacier white! joseph corlett llc- the cambria color is exclusive to Home Depot- I’d rather spend my money at a small business rather than a big box store. Another similar, name brand quartz is $5,000 cheaper for our kitchen, has nothing to do with buying an off brand material... but glad you’re not my fabricator.
