kitchen countertopsThe March/April 2010 issue of Consumers Digest has a special section devoted to smart kitchen makeovers. Part of this feature includes a list of “Best Buys” in countertops. They covered every kind of countertop you can think of, from laminate to stone and everything in between. They also have the best buy for the premium selection, mid-range selection and economy selection for each category.

Coming in as the “Best Buy” premium selection for Stone & Solid-Surface Countertops is Cambria Quartz at $78 per square foot. When it comes to luxury countertops for the kitchen, hardly anything tops Cambria. Cambria quartz is a stain resistant, non porous surface that is harder, stronger and easier to care for than other stone surfaces because it does not require sealing with chemical-based conditioners, polishers or wax. As an added bonus, Cambria is certified by NSF International as safe for use as a food preparation surface. And the absolute icing on the cake – Cambria quartz countertops are eco-friendly!
