Understanding Quartz Countertop Quality: Why Tariffs Haven’t Changed Our Prices

With recent tariffs on imported countertops, many homeowners have noticed rising prices across the market. But if you’re one of our Rockwell Interior Design clients, you may have already noticed, our countertop pricing has not changed.

That’s because we proudly partner with Cambria, a premier quartz brand that’s 100% made in Minnesota. Cambria produces some of the highest-quality quartz surfaces available, entirely crafted in the United States. By sourcing American-made materials, we avoid international import fees, long shipping delays, and quality inconsistencies that often come with overseas products.

Why American-Made Quartz Matters

In recent years, many lower-quality quartz products manufactured overseas have entered the U.S. market. While they may look similar at first glance, the difference is in the details and the durability. True quartz countertops should contain at least 94% natural quartz with no sand fillers.

Sand is porous, which can lead to staining, bacterial growth, and long-term wear. Additionally, be wary of countertops with photo finishes. These are surface-level designs printed on the slab rather than color and texture that run throughout the stone. Cambria quartz, by contrast, is through-colored, meaning the pattern is part of the material itself, ensuring lasting beauty and strength.

Quality That Speaks for Itself

Choosing Cambria means choosing a surface that is nonporous, maintenance-free, and backed by American craftsmanship. Each slab is built to last for generations , offering not just elegance, but true value.
