What Makes Cambria Countertops Different?
Cambria is an engineered quartz surface made from approximately 93% natural quartz crystal — one of the hardest minerals on Earth — combined with 7% resins, binders, and pigments. The result is a non-porous, durable countertop that mimics the look of natural marble or granite without the maintenance.
What separates Cambria from every other quartz brand is that it is the only quartz manufactured entirely in the United States. All slabs are produced at Cambria's facility in Le Sueur, Minnesota — about an 11-hour drive from Columbus — which gives the company tight quality control and the ability to back every installation with a full lifetime transferable warranty.
For Ohio homeowners, that domestic supply chain matters: lead times are shorter than for imported quartz, replacement slabs are easier to source if you ever need them, and the warranty stays valid when you sell your home. Cambria offers nearly 200 design options, ranging from soft uniform whites to bold marble veining to dramatic dark surfaces.

5 Featured Cambria Colors In Our Columbus Inventory
Distinctive Kitchen carries the full Cambria collection at our Bridgeway Avenue showroom, but here are five of the most popular and visually distinct designs we currently stock — each one solves a different design challenge common in Central Ohio kitchens, from traditional Columbus colonials to modern New Albany builds.
Brittanicca Gold Warm™
Flowing multi-hued streams of copper gold, fog, and translucent greige course across a temperate white background. This is Cambria's most requested warm-white design and the closest engineered alternative to natural Calacatta Gold marble — a top choice for Dublin and Upper Arlington kitchen remodels.
Pairs with: White, cream, or natural oak cabinets; brass or matte black hardware.
Lakedale™
Bright white background enhanced by warm tan and cool gray tones, with soft sweeping streams and delicately stippled charcoal speckles. Reads as soft and clean from a distance, with subtle movement up close — a popular pick for Worthington and Bexley traditional homes.
Pairs with: Light gray, navy, or sage green cabinets; brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware.
Haydon™
A creamy white background overlaid with intricate bronze and warm-brown veining. Haydon delivers a refined, traditional marble aesthetic while keeping the warmth that pure white quartz designs often lack — well-suited to Ohio's classic colonial and farmhouse architecture.
Pairs with: White shaker, walnut, or warm taupe cabinets; oil-rubbed bronze or brass hardware.
Remington Brass™
A deep, smoldering dark base with subtle brass and bronze undertones that catch light at different angles. The dark-on-dark design adds depth and a moody, sophisticated edge to modern kitchens — increasingly chosen for new builds in Powell, New Albany, and Polaris.
Pairs with: White, cream, or natural wood cabinets; brass or matte gold hardware for high contrast.
Sherwood™
Bold, sweeping movement of dark green, gold, and charcoal mineral patterns reminiscent of dramatic exotic granite. Sherwood is for the homeowner who wants the countertop to be the focal point of the kitchen — perfect for showcasing on an island in an open-concept Ohio home.
Pairs with: White, cream, or deep forest green cabinets; brass, copper, or aged bronze hardware.

Below are typical installed price ranges for projects in the Ohio market.

Why Cambria Works for Ohio Homes
Central Ohio has a distinctive housing mix — classic colonials in Bexley and Upper Arlington, mid-century homes in Worthington and Clintonville, modern new construction in Dublin and New Albany, and rural farmhouse renovations spreading out toward Delaware and Granville. Cambria works across all of them, and there are a few specific reasons it has become so popular in the Columbus market over the past decade.
Performs in Ohio's Four-Season Climate
Ohio kitchens deal with humid summers and dry, heated winters. Natural stone like marble can be sensitive to humidity swings, but Cambria's engineered quartz surface is unaffected by changes in indoor temperature or moisture levels. Your countertop looks the same in July as it does in January.
Marble Look Without the Maintenance
The classic Ohio kitchen — white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, marble-look counters — is one of the most requested designs we install. But marble itself etches easily and stains from common kitchen acids (lemon, tomato, vinegar). Cambria's Brittanicca and Haydon designs deliver the same Calacatta-style look with zero risk of etching, making them a much better fit for actual family kitchens in places like Westerville or Hilliard.
Holds Up to Real Ohio Family Use
Columbus families cook, host football watch parties, and live in their kitchens. Cambria's non-porous surface means no sealing schedule, no special cleaners, and no panic when someone spills grape juice. Wipe it with warm water and a soft cloth — that's the entire maintenance program.
Strong Resale Value in the Central Ohio Market
The Columbus-area housing market continues to attract buyers from Cleveland, Cincinnati, and out of state, and quartz countertops remain one of the most-requested kitchen features for homebuyers. Cambria's transferable lifetime warranty is a real selling point at closing — it gives future homeowners protection they cannot get from most other quartz brands.
High-Gloss vs. Cambria Matte® Finish
Most Cambria designs are available in two finish options, and the choice has a real impact on how the countertop reads in your kitchen.
High-Gloss Finish (Standard)
The classic Cambria finish — a polished, reflective surface that emphasizes pattern depth and brings out the full saturation of color and veining. High gloss is best for traditional, transitional, and formal kitchen designs.
Cambria Matte® Finish
A low-sheen, soft-touch surface that mutes reflections and delivers a more modern, organic feel. Cambria Matte is increasingly popular for contemporary kitchens and pairs especially well with handle-less cabinetry — a look we are seeing more of in modern Polaris and Grandview builds.
Cambria vs. Other Quartz Brands
The quartz market includes several major brands, and Cambria is rarely the cheapest. Here is how it compares to the brands you are most likely seeing alongside it in a Columbus-area showroom:
| Feature | Cambria | Silestone | Caesarstone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing Origin | USA (Minnesota) | Spain | Israel / USA |
| Warranty | Full lifetime, transferable | 25-year limited | Lifetime limited |
| Installed Cost | $65 – $150 / sq. ft. | $50 – $100 / sq. ft. | $50 – $110 / sq. ft. |
| Design Library | ~200 designs | ~140 designs | ~100 designs |
| Marble-Realism | Industry-leading | Very good | Good |
| Distribution | Authorized dealers only | Wide retail | Wide retail |
If budget is your top priority, imported quartz brands save you $10–$30 per square foot. If you want the most convincing marble look, American manufacturing, and the strongest warranty on the market, Cambria justifies its premium.
Cambria vs. Granite & Marble
If you are choosing between Cambria and a natural stone option, here is how the three compare on the factors that matter most in real Ohio kitchens:
| Feature | Cambria Quartz | Granite | Marble |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Engineered (93% quartz) | 100% natural stone | 100% natural stone |
| Sealing Required | Never | Yearly | Every 3–6 months |
| Stain Resistance | Excellent | Good (with sealer) | Poor — etches easily |
| Heat Resistance | Moderate (use trivets) | Excellent | Good |
| Outdoor Use | No | Yes | Limited |
| Installed Cost | $65 – $150 / sq. ft. | $50 – $140 / sq. ft. | $60 – $200 / sq. ft. |
| Maintenance Level | Lowest | Moderate | Highest |

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Cambria countertops in Columbus, Ohio?
Cambria is sold exclusively through authorized dealers. Distinctive Kitchen is an authorized Cambria provider serving Columbus and all of Central Ohio. Visit our showroom at 4600 Bridgeway Ave, Columbus, OH 43219, or call (614) 431-0898 to get started.
How much do Cambria countertops cost in Ohio?
Cambria countertops in the Central Ohio market typically run $65–$150 per square foot installed, depending on the design tier, edge profile, and project complexity. A typical Columbus-area kitchen with 50–100 sq. ft. of countertop runs $4,000–$13,500 fully installed. Premium designs like the Brittanicca series cost more than entry-tier designs.
Are Cambria countertops worth the price?
For most homeowners, yes — particularly if you want a marble-look surface without the maintenance, or if the transferable lifetime warranty matters for resale. In the Central Ohio housing market, where home values continue to appreciate, Cambria is a strong long-term investment.
Does Cambria quartz stain?
Cambria is non-porous, so liquids cannot penetrate the surface. Red wine, coffee, olive oil, and tomato sauce wipe away without staining. The main exceptions are permanent markers, strong dyes, and harsh chemicals — those should be wiped up immediately.
Can I put hot pans on Cambria countertops?
No. Although Cambria is heat-resistant up to moderate temperatures, direct contact with very hot pans can damage the resin binder. Always use a trivet or hot pad. This is the biggest practical difference between quartz and granite.
Does Cambria need to be sealed?
Never. Cambria's non-porous surface eliminates the need for sealing, polishing, or reconditioning — one of the main reasons Columbus-area homeowners choose engineered quartz over granite or marble.
How long does Cambria installation take in Columbus?
Most Central Ohio Cambria installations follow this timeline: slab selection at our showroom, template visit 1–2 weeks after cabinets are installed, fabrication 5–10 business days, then installation in 2–4 hours on install day. Total project time from slab selection to finished countertop is typically 2–3 weeks.
What is the most popular Cambria color for Ohio kitchens?
Brittanicca Gold Warm and the broader Brittanicca series are consistently the most popular Cambria designs in the Central Ohio market. They pair beautifully with the white shaker cabinets and traditional architecture common in Columbus-area homes.
Can Cambria be used outdoors in Ohio?
No. The resin binders in Cambria quartz break down under prolonged UV exposure. For outdoor kitchens in Ohio — increasingly popular in suburban Dublin and New Albany builds — choose granite or a UV-stable porcelain slab instead. We carry both at our Columbus showroom.
