Armitage, one of the two new Cambria designs so far for 2012 is available at Construction ResourcesATLANTA – Cambria, the only family-owned, American-made producer of quartz surfaces in the United States, is releasing new designs for 2012. This introduction follows launches of 33 new designs over the past two years. This makes Cambria’s offering of more than 100 designs the world’s largest and most diverse. The first two new designs feature unique and glamorous looks for quartz, and are available now at specialty building company, Construction Resources, based in Decatur.

Maintaining its leadership in color innovation, Cambria will rapidly develop and announce new designs throughout the year, two at a time. The first two designs are Laneshaw and Armitage. Building upon the innovative design palette of the Waterstone Collection, Laneshaw and Armitage capture the natural veining and beauty of marble and granite, but offer the superior strength and performance of Cambria.

Mitch Hires, President of Construction Resources comments, “Cambria has achieved looks in quartz that were never possible before. They are changing the face of the stone industry and we are proud to bring their designs to Atlanta Kitchen.”

Each 2012 design will continue the proud Cambria tradition of being named after a location in Wales or England. Laneshaw, named for a centuries-old village in northwest England, embraces a sea of brown tones, tan and black with subtle hints of white and a veil of gold shimmer. Armitage, like the canal bordering this village in England’s West Midlands region, appears dark and deep with blends of black and gray, providing a neutral canvas for random hints of copper and orange.

Construction Resources has Cambria on display at its showroom, slab gallery and slab yard at 224 Rio Circle in Decatur as well as its Alpharetta Showroom located at 10700 States Bridge Rd. Suite 7 Alpharetta, Ga. 30022. For more information on the new colors of Cambria, visit the Construction Resources website at www.ConstructionResourcesUSA.com or call 404-378-3220.
