Cambria Rosslyn quartz is an engineered stone with a light brown background and scattered grains and dots in cream, dark brown and ochre tones throughout its surface, bringing the aesthetics of natural granite to any interior area including kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, utility rooms and floorings.
Rosslyn belongs to Cambria’s Jewel Collection, a range of quartz stones that bring the design has the organic aesthetics found only in nature deep down in the earth’s crust. In that fashion, these unique and valuable colours have surface deviation to the appearance and feel of the material, characteristic of this leading quartz manufacturer.
With slab dimensions at 3360x1660mm and thicknesses in 12mm, 20mm and 30mm joints and seams are a thing of the past for Cambria worktops and cladding surfaces.
Cambria is tougher than marble or granite making it more durable and is less likely to stain, chip or scratch than natural stone. Cambria quartz is maintenance free with a simple cleaning regime of soapy water and a kitchen cloth. Because of its non-porous nature, this quartz stone does not absorb liquids, moisture and food leftovers avoiding the potential growth of bacteria which makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laboratories and healthcare facilities.
Cambria’s history:
Cambria is a family-run business that started in the 90’s in Minnesota, USA using the very same creamery facilities which the Company built in 1943, during the second World War.
Stan Davis, who started Cambria has always been a technology aficionado. By 1950’s the Company’s technology was drastically improved. During the late 60’s the business seeks routes for expansion. By the 70’s the Company changes, providing isolated protein products based on technological advances. During the 80’s Cambria purchases facilities in South Dakota which will later become the number 1 mozzarella cheese processing plant in America. By the 90’s the Business closes their creamery operation to focus on their cheese products which gives the place to the birth of its quartz manufacturing facilities. During the 2000’s the family expands Cambria quartz opening additional facilities in 3 locations. By 2010’s Cambria doubles its manufacturing capacity, adding 408.000 square feet and two new production lines to the Minnesota production plant.
In 2016 Cambria International is created expanding global operations acquiring distribution in the UK among other countries.
