Cambria Ella
Has anyone seen this new color? I was dead set on Torquay with our white shaker cabinets but just saw this on their website and it may be a better Carrara marble substitute in Quartz. I searched the forums and found nothing.
Also - had anyone seen Torquay in 6cm? My kitchen guy said that the seam would be noticeable?
thank you!

It's much more beautiful than I thought it would be. I'm planning to use it in my master bath. I really disliked the Brittanicca and didn't even take a photo.Erica L поблагодарил(а): M DMDM DMD

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8I will upload it. Having trouble finding a good backsplash tile to match well. The Ella Quartz has a background blue/grey, most whites we have found are too white so it should be interesting!

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Hi I just got finished with my kitchen remodel and wanted to share for those looking to see the Cambria Ella Quartz. I was nervous at first of my choice because I wasn't able to see a large slab prior to and only looked at 12 x 12 samples, however I love it. I also had a hard time picking out backsplash but found this hand crafted subway tile in whisper white that has a slight wave to it so the light hits it at different angles. The center island we used 2 1/4 inch railcar planks so we used a wood tile made to look reclaimed as an accent over the stovetop. If you are having second thoughts on Ella ... don't... I just love it! (but that's my opinion) :)

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Can you tell me the brand and color of backsplash and where purchased from. We are getting Ella installed next week and a coordinating backsplash has been very difficult. All the tiles we have in our area are too white. Please advise.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Huxman, that's lovely!! Fabulous backsplash, too. Hopefully you are planning a reveal? I'll look forward to the details.clamcake
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Thanks kelleg69! The island is SW 6236 Grays Harbor ...it's gray with a blue undertone.
funkycamper
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8That Grays Harbor is a lovely shade of gray. I had to open the thread because that's the name of the area I live I had no idea there was a color named after it. It certainly mimics the color of our skies when a storm is rolling in.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8I love that Ella countertop. Do you know how much it costs per sq feet? I am currently looking for countertops for our kitchen reno starting in 2 weeks. I was considering another one until I saw the ones posted here but wanted to get an idea of price.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Hi Huxman - Your kitchen is beautiful! We have chosen Ella as well and wondering if you went with the backsplash that clamcake went with.
Hi clamcake - Your kitchen is beautiful as well. We went with the same island pendants that you have from RH. I will be super happy if it looks half as good as your kitchen does!

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Thank you. We went with a "white" 3 x 6 subway tile from a local designer. I do not have the details on the brand/color. We used Tec grout, color Silverado (light gray)

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Последние изменения: Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Thank you Cristina !! I love love the Ella .. No regrets at all ....everyone says something when they see it and the pendants are perfect ... I chose them because of the milk glass instead of clear for two reasons I didn't want to always be looking at the light bulb ( even though I love clear and hammered glass) and it also stays cleaner looking .. Can't wait for you to post pictures! :)
cristina
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Последние изменения: Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Love the milky glass as well. Got the fixtures in ORB to match our hardware. It's really coming along nicely. I am so happy to hear you love the Ella. I was a bit nervous picking it since I couldn't find many pics of it but after seeing the slabs, I knew I made the right decision. So how do you like the Whisper White backsplash tiles with the counter? Is it very stark white? Appreciate all your input!
clamcake
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8These particular tiles have a hand crafted slight wave to them, so in my opinion helps and is what makes it work well. The waves allows light to hit the backsplash at different angles creating sort of shimmery effect or otherwise not just a flat
color look ... If you look at the backsplash in these picture you can kind of see how the light reflects off of them.
Hope that explanation helps and makes sense :)cristina
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Hi clamcake - Your backsplash looks oh so pretty! I just love your kitchen! Thanks again for the close up photos. Our Ella is being installed next week and we are very excited. Can hopefully get a sample of the backsplash soon to see how it looks in our kitchen but looks like a winner. Greatly appreciate all your help!

Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Beautiful Clamcake, love the island top. Where do you get 2 1/4 inch railcar planks?
clamcake
Год(а)/Лет назад: 8Thank you !! Well I live in TX so it might be easier for some then others but I found mine by just looking on my local Craigslist ... They are heavy planks and thick ... I love them

Год(а)/Лет назад: 7Does anyone know if Ella comes in honed finish? I am having a hard time finding quartz that comes in large slabs in the honed finish. I am trying to avoid a seem in a large island but like the look of satin or honed finish as opposed to super shiny.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 7I love what "CLAMBAKE" has done with the kitchen...beautiful backsplash tile match with the ELLA. I am really interested in seeing ANY pics of the ELLA Cambria quartz installed in a kitchen...In the reno process now...already chose ELLA months ago. (love it) to replace granite I've had for 10 years (tired of it). Trying to find good match or something that goes well for a backsplash...not crazy about "subway" pattern tho..but open to any tile and/or pattern that might work with my kitchen. I tend to be a bit eclectic in my design choices so any suggestions/ ideas would be helpful (I have dark ((reddish stain)) cabinets and dark ((autumn slate)) floors if this is any help. Thank you.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 7I have Ella counter top on my kitchen island. Installed about 6 months ago. We love the color however we are not happy with how it has held up. There are lots of smudge marks that appeared over the last few months and cannot be cleaned off. We use only the approved cleaners. Cambria sent a tech to inspect. The Tech agreed there are lots of marks. Tech tried everything to clean counter but no success. Cambria claimed that their limited warranty does not cover the problem. Cambria instead blamed the problem on me and alleged that I have misused my counter top in some fashion (all of their possible explanations for the problem I am having fit right into the listed exclusions to the warranty.) I am exploring legal remedies.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 6I realize that bdc4's post is 8 months old, but I wonder if you were able to get a satisfactory resolution to your problem. I hope that you did, for your sake, and for the sake of the rest of us who would be scared silly of Cambria's denials and not standing up to make the customer's experience a good one.
It reminds me to appreciate L.L. Bean's approach to ANY customer dissatisfaction - they want their customers to be completely satisfied; if not, return it, at any time. Their products may be more expensive, but their reputation is built on quality merchandise and excellent customer relations. (I DO NOT work nor have any connection to L.L. Bean other than being a satisfied customer.) Any business knows how important it is to have customers say good things about you, your product and reliability to others.
If I were Cambria, I would want to avoid having you publicly say something about the quality of this product not holding up as expected, expensive as it is, and to have you note for others considering using them that their customer relations are something to be wary about.

Год(а)/Лет назад: 6wannaknow2 - I couldn't agree more! Houzz has a HUGE following; I'm seriously considering Cambria for our kitchen, but when they disrespect the home-owner like that I find my eye wandering elsewhere. Here's hoping bdc4 got a satisfactory resolution from Cambria!
wannaknow2
Год(а)/Лет назад: 6Thanks everyone who wanna know. I'm sure Cambria is aware of and follows postings where they are mentioned. I hope bdc4 sees this and lets us know the (hopefully satisfactorily) outcome.
