Cambria Announces Winner of Cheryl Tiegs' 'Beautiful Design Giveaway'

Winner will Receive Free Cambria Countertops and Interior Design Consultation from Cambria Spokesperson Cheryl Tiegs and Neil Kelly Company Certified Master Designer

MINNEAPOLIS and ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 18, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambria, the only producer of natural quartz surfaces in the United States, announced today the winner of the Cheryl Tiegs' "Beautiful Design Giveaway."


Barbara Rosier of Portland, Oregon will receive an interior design consultation with Cambria's national spokesperson Cheryl Tiegs and Martha Kerr, a Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer with Neil Kelly Company, as well as Cambria countertops for her kitchen fabricated by Cambria partner Custom Countertops of Salem, OR, a total value of up to $20,000.


"I am so excited about being selected as the winner of the Beautiful Design Giveaway," Rosier said. "My brother is a contractor and said that Cambria is the top-of-the-line in countertops! I also am thrilled to work with Cheryl Tiegs and Martha Kerr, which will help me make my new kitchen beautiful, easy to maintain and environmentally friendly."


Launched in October 2007, more than 140,000 entries were submitted on Cambria's website, http://www.cambriausa.com/, or via postcard for the Cheryl Tiegs' "Beautiful Design Giveaway."


"We are extremely pleased to award Barbara with this prize package and look forward to working with her to make her dream kitchen beautiful as well as practical and 'green'," said Mark Blanchard, Cambria's Regional Vice President of Western Sales. "We know she will enjoy her new Cambria, which is maintenance-free, doesn't require sealing with harsh chemicals and is nonporous -- a perfect option for any kitchen or other room in the home."


As a leader in design innovation, Cambria offers more colors with unique design capabilities than any other surfacing material. Complementary colors from the Desert and Quarry collections offer unique opportunities to incorporate multiple colors on a variety of surfaces, creating more depth and character in a home. Cambria is available through builders, designers, architects and kitchen/bath retailers throughout all of North America.


"Cambria is truly a wonderful product because it is eco-friendly and the company uses environmental practices in their business as well, which makes it a natural product to have in the home," said Cheryl Tiegs. "I recently completed my own kitchen remodel with Cambria and I'm excited to help bring the natural beauty and practicality of Cambria into someone else's home."


Strong, Safe, Certified and Environmentally Friendly


Cambria is a stain-resistant, non-porous surface that is harder, stronger and easier to care for than other stone surfaces including granite and marble because it does not require sealing with harsh chemicals. In addition, Cambria is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality(R) and GREENGUARD For Children & Schools(SM) certified, which means it does not off-gas or emit harmful chemicals into the air. Cambria is also certified by NSF International as safe for use as a food preparation surface -- there is no safer surface available to consumers.


Cambria recycles and recovers 100 percent of the water used in its production processes through unique settling and filtering techniques. In addition, the product's GREENGUARD certifications make projects eligible for one (1) LEED point in any LEED-certified building project in the Indoor Environmental Quality category. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an accreditation program conducted by the U.S. Green Building Council that certifies building projects based on performance under the LEED rating system.


Primarily made from North American quartz and as the only producer of natural quartz surfaces in the United States, Cambria has a lower carbon footprint when compared to other quartz products that are largely produced in the Middle East, Asia and Europe and require greater transportation and carbon resources in route to market.


Cambria is available to consumers, builders, contractors, architects and designers throughout North America and the world. Cambria has operations and fabrication facilities in Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina and Toronto.
