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.

Hi @Dhanamasala, we're happy to hear you're considering Cambria for you upcoming project and thank you for your sharing your thoughts. This past September, Cambria announced a price increase for five of its designs: Brittanicca and Ella, Roxwell and Oakmoor and Whitecliff. We want to assure you that there were many factors contributing to the decision to increase the price, but we’d love to learn more about the scope of the project and fabricator you are working with. Please call out our team and ask for Mandy or Molly at 1-866-226-2742.

Don't let anyone kid you. The gray veining may be cool, but the white background, the largest part of the surface, is very creamy. I was all set to buy it until I saw it in person. Took a sample of my white doors with me (my doors are quite white, but not stark white-white) and it was awful. I would have been introducing a completely new element into the color scheme.

The backsplash needs to compliment the rest of your space; what are your other materials?
