Remodelers know the challenge well: A client wants a stylish new bathroom vanity or a distinctive wet bar, and you order a full slab of premium quartz—only to use half of it and end up with an expensive remnant. Cambria's half-slab program was designed with this scenario in mind. It lets you offer customers the beauty and durability of Cambria surfaces while staying competitive on a wider range of projects.

Right-Sized Materials

Smaller projects—bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, butler’s pantries, wet bars, kitchen perimeters, powder rooms—are a significant part of many remodeling businesses. Yet the standard full-slab purchase model has long required trade professionals to overbuy.

Cambria's half-slab program offers a selection of its bestselling designs in half the standard size—132" x 32.5”. Reducing waste ensures a more efficient use of your budget and a stronger bottom line on smaller projects.

A Competitive Advantage

When you can bid on a smaller project more precisely, without factoring in the cost of wasted material, you can price more competitively and win more jobs. The half-slab program makes it easier to take on projects that might not have been financially viable before, while still delivering the premium Cambria quality your clients expect. This approach leads to more opportunities, more satisfied clients, and significant cost savings through minimized waste. For a remodeling business focused on efficiency and profitability, that adds up quickly.

Take It Further with 1cm Thickness

Cambria's half-slab program pairs well with another advantageous option for remodelers: While the standard thickness for half-slab designs is 3cm, the company also offers a selection of the same designs in versatile 1cm full slabs.

Cambria's 1cm surfaces are ideal for vertical applications and weight-sensitive projects. They are easier to install vertically—reducing labor time, improving transportation and installation safety, and providing design flexibility for shower walls, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding, and more. And because these seamless, nonporous surfaces are grout-free, they deliver a clean aesthetic with exceptional durability that is as practical as it is stunning. 
One example of the winning combination of mixing two slab thicknesses: using a 3cm half-slab for a vanity countertop and a 1cm slab in the same design for the shower walls. The overall result feels intentional, elevated, and custom. 

The Cambria Difference

Cambria is the only natural quartz surface manufacturer that is both family-owned and American-made. Every slab is produced in Minnesota and backed by Cambria's industry-leading transferable Full Lifetime Warranty. The half-slab program is the latest expression of Cambria's commitment to giving remodelers the tools, flexibility, and quality they need to deliver exceptional results.
