Comments (15)I am a fabricator. Officially only "Cambria Qualified" fabricators are allowed to buy, fabricate, and install the product. Joe is correct about Cambria's vertical integration model. What he didn't mention is that Cambria 's business model also presumes they can charge a premium price based on their vast investment in marketing which portrays their product as "premium". In actuality there are many engineered stone alternatives that are equally beautiful and durable with the major factor determining the customers satisfaction being the quality of the fabricator. (Years ago Cambria had a technology edge in creating colors with limited movement but that edge is gone as other engineered stone OEM's have developed a similar capability.) Any regular reader of this forum will know Cambria has plenty of dissatisfied customers due to both material and fabrication issues. My advice to my customers has always been to use Cambria and pay the often substantial price premium only when the look of a unique Cambria color is key to their decorating scheme....See MorePaging ArlingtonVAremodel
Comments (3)Hi, carsonheim. Your plans sound lovely! I'd be glad to share some photos.

Comments (43)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....See MoreQuestion about quartz surface and samples (HanStone vs Aurea)
Comments (5)It's my understanding that once you pick out your slabs, then they are "fabricated" and during the fabrication process the slabs are polished (smoothed out). So I would think either brand should come out smooth, but lets not assume anything. You should call and ask just to be sure. I have a white HanStone counter and it's perfectly smooth....See Morebrettfelouzis
