We're delighted to hear you've chosen Cambria! You are correct – all of our products are proudly made here in the US at our headquarters in southern Minnesota. Quartz is one of the hardest materials on earth – a 7 on the Moh hardness scale and therefore are extremely resistant to scratching and chipping. Our Newport™ design is a wonderful choice for a light and bright kitchen. To complement, we recommend a neutral-colored backsplash -- whites, greys, and even taupes would work well here.Check out Ann Sacks Tile & Stone for a variety of stunning textures and colors. Did you know you can also use our quartz as a backsplash? Our bold Brittanicca design would create an especially beautiful statement. In regards to selecting a paint for your cabinets, we have partnered with Benjamin Moore to select paint hues that are especially complementary with our countertop designs with our online paint match tool.

Hope this helps with your design considerations.

I don't have Cambria so I didn't reply at first. I would recommend that you Google images of kitchens that use that surface, and look for images you like. With complex counter surfaces you generally want to keep the bs tile simple and uniform. It is shown below with a neutral glazed ceramic tile in a herringbone pattern.

Rita, Great point! If anyone has experience with that edge let me know. Is the concern mostly that its not smooth rubbing against. Also, we have children so let me know if there would be concerns around that. I guess I'm concerned that others might mistake it for a plastic countertop and wondering if that is likely. I realize I don't need to be concerned with what others think, however I guess I can't help it. ;)
