December 1, 2006—Cambria’s natural quartz surfaces were recently GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified by GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). GEI verified that Cambria natural quartz surfaces to not emit harmful levels of chemicals into the environment. The company’s natural quartz surfaces are the only domestically produced quartz surfaces, according to Cambria.
Cambria is a stain-resistant, non-porous surface that is harder, stronger, and easier to care for than other countertop materials. Cambria also is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International for food preparation. There is no safer surface available to consumers, says Cambria.
Consumer Reports recently reported that quartz is the top performing countertop surface for durability and maintenance. In addition, a recent survey conducted by Cambria found that consumers really “want it all” when it comes to their countertop surface.
Cambria’s recent certification by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute will assist projects in qualifying for points under the United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED program. In addition, because Cambria is the only producer of natural quartz surfaces in the US, additional LEED points are available for any project within the 500-mile radius of Cambria’s Minnesota manufacturing facility.
