quartz countertops

16 years ago

Has anyone used cambridge quartz for kitchen countertop. I am thinking of using the color sutton and only having small samples of it makes it hard to know if it will really look good in a large kitchen. If you have the color sutton let me know how you like it?

    Yes I have Cambria Sutton and I love it. I have it on my counters and island with cooktop and a second tier for seating. Everyone who sees it likes it very much. I was also concerned with the look from the sample but it turned out great. My kitchen is not formal. Cabinets are shaker with dark hardware and small subway tiles in beige/khaki shades. Sort of old looking. Only person who did not like the Sutton was the backsplash installer. He also sells and installs granite, marble and other stone. His worker asked what the counter was and he replied "plastic" and couldn't understand why I wouldn't go with granite or other stone for the price.

    Glad to hear that you love the Cambria Sutton. I have a new country home with medium color shaker cabinets. Just want the quartz to look great - Should have cabinets and counter in soon - thanks for your opinion

    Just an FYI, my friend has the Cambria Lancaster with dark cherry shaker cabinets. Hers are more elegant for lack of a better description and the Lancaster goes well with them. She has black appliances and I have stainless. I think you will be happy

    I have ordered the electrolux line of appliances in stainless steel. If your cambria sutton goes well with stainless that's what I'm going do. Wish I could have brought a big slab home to look at!!! It doesn't look blotchy does it?

    No it's not blotchy. It has a few places where the quartz or the resin I guess is more pronounced but nothing huge. I have read that some people had problems with "pooling" of resin but mine isn't and neither is my friends. How big a sample did they show you? I saw a foot square sample and was able to bring it home for a day or two. the little pieces that are a few inches square are difficult to imagine. Have you asked if they have larger samples or if they have a customer who has it and might let you see theirs?

    Here's a line of quartz that I found. It's pretty new but I really liked it. I'm doing mostly E'lux with birch cabs and using the Sterling color which goes great with my flooring.

    FWIW, I've only heard good about Cambria and had planned on using that until recently.
