Has anyone used Cambria Sandgate for their countertops?

We decided on Sandgate today and it’s absolutely beautiful. Not too plain, not too busy and has a subtle sparkle.

    We didn't install Sandgate, but Windermere. I really like the Cambria product. This looks really pretty. I hope you can find some pictures or others who've installed it.

    We are also considering Sandgate. Did you install it and have any pictures?

    No, install won’t be until early May. Cabinets are delayed until end of April unfortunately.

    @brooksbuild - Did you install your Sandgate? Would love to see photos of your kitchen. I can't find any online using it. I just picked that too but our cabinets wont be in until August.

    I too picked Sandgate but will not be installed for 4-6 weeks. I have a sample and it looks beautiful with my white cabinets. I think I will be very pleased with selection.

    Pictures do not capture the beauty of Sandgate. It has some silver flecks randomly placed that is just beautiful to me. looks like tiny diamond chips. Kitchen not done completely but here are some pics.

    @kaoltman - Beautiful! We are waiting on templating but should have out counters in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait. We also did white cabinets with it and our paint color is Upward by Sherwin Williams. What are you doing for a backsplash if any?

    KW-I am doing Sandgate for the backsplash. They install it next week. I went back and forth on what I was going to do but I have a friend who did matching backsplash and she said she loves her backsplash matching her counters. Hope it looks nice as I love love the countertop.

    Do you have a picture with backsplash of Sandgate. I am considering this. I have chosen Sandgate for counter top, but not sure of backsplash.

    We have Cambria Highgate which is also similar. Cambria makes a beautiful product, and they have a lifetime guarantee against chips, damage, etc..

    @kaoltman - Your kitchen is beautiful! Our Sandgate will be installed next Wednesday. Still trying to pick a backsplash but decided I'm going to wait until the counters are in. Here are my options at the moment but I LOVE using it as the backsplash too! Thought it would be too busy but it looks wonderful. I'm afraid the bowling pin tile will look too busy but also think I'd flip it around so I don't think "bowling pin" everytime I see it. LOL.

    Absolutely stunning - I will proceed with Sandgate as the backsplash as well as the counter. Thank you.

    K W-I do think it’s a good idea to wait until install if deciding to do a backsplash that is not the Cambria. I was reading that people were having such a difficult time matching something up that I just decided to make it easy for me since I loved the countertop already. I am glad this kitchen remodel is almost done. I just had stove installed and still waiting for my freezer column. My flooring is on backorder until Nov. Best wishes to you. I’m sure it will be beautiful 😀

    akenning52-Thank you. I think you will be really happy when you see it all installed and you are seeing it in person.

  • akenning52

    My kitchen is backordered and won't be in until November. Anxiously waiting and hoping everything will be done for Christmas. Appliances, flooring and paint chosen; just have to get taps for the sink. Can hardly wait!

    akenning52-Good Luck with everything. Hopefully the waiting period will go fast for you and will be done before the Holidays. Very exciting to have a new Kitchen 😀 I had one glitch that cost me. My sink is in island and I did not know they made those cabinets with paper towel holder built in when I initially ordered. Cabinet maker made me a new cabinet and installed it last week.

    @Kaoltman— what color and brand are your cabinets? We were going to do Kraftmaid Warm White, but it looks slightly off with Sandgate. Please help!

  • Estee Notsay

    @brooksbuild, what shade of white are your cabinets with your Sandgate? There are so many shades, and some work better than others. We are considering Kraftmaid warm white, Moonshine, and possibly Dove white. Would love some guidance please.

    I want to know the color cabinets too but it was last sept posting so may never know.

    @Estee Notsay I think Cambria Sandgate looks beautiful with Kraftmaid Dove White

    @K W @rita831 @HU-840964565

    We ended up going with Kraftmaid Moonshine cabinets with the Sandgate. We’ll know how we did in a few months!

    @EsteeNotsay-I had my cabinets made by Mullet Cabinets-Artic White. I am sure what you picked will look great.

    Flooring finally in. Need counter stools as these are old ones I refinished until I find something. Also need a new table. Soon 😀

    Hi. Looks amazing. I am considering Sandgate. What is the floor choice if you don’t mind sharing?

    We’re working on a kitchen remodel with Cambria Sandgate. I’m trying to decide on what backsplash will look good. Anyone have any ideas?

  • kaoltman

    Dip9191-our flooring is Prescott Oak by Coretec. Looks light brown-beige with some gray knots. Love it so far.
