Quartz is engineered stone: it never needs sealing and does not etch from lemon or wine. Its one weakness is heat, so hot pans go on a trivet. A Burr Ridge kitchen, in the western suburbs.

Inverness is a series of Cambria designs, made in Le Sueur, Minnesota, with long flowing veins on a white field. The Inverness designs are known for veins with a slight texture you can feel, and like all quartz, it never needs sealing.

Cambria Inverness quartz: what to know

Quartz is an engineered surface, ground quartz held in resin, and its strength is predictability: no sealing, no etching, and slabs that match. It cleans with mild soap and water. Heat is the exception, since a hot pan can scorch the resin, and most quartz is not made for outdoor sun.

In a kitchen, quartz is the low-maintenance choice: no sealing and no etching. Keep hot pans and appliances that run hot on a trivet.

Common questions

Can quartz go outdoors?

Most quartz is not rated for direct sun, which can discolor the resin over time. For outdoor kitchens, granite or porcelain is the better choice.

Which quartz brands do you fabricate?

Cambria, Caesarstone and MSI most often, along with Silestone and Hanstone on request.
