Invest in Certified Kitchen Cabinets for Quality and Durability
Posted by: Cathy, Kitchen Cabinet Pro

KCMA Certified CabinetsNew kitchen cabinets can be a significant expense out of your budget.  Make sure the cabinetry you purchase is of high quality and certified by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA).

KCMA Standards and Testing

KCMA offers a voluntary certification and performance testing program.  In this testing environment, cabinetry is put through a battery of tests which simulate years of typical household use.

The tests measure the structural integrity of the cabinet, finishes, as well as the stability and durability of doors, drawers, and hinges.  Kitchen cabinets bearing the KCMA certification seal are recognized as quality cabinets which passed standards set forth by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Look for ANSI seal when purchasing your new kitchen cabinets to make sure you’re getting the highest quality possible.

Posted by: Cathy, Kitchen Cabinet Pro

Tambour doors can be a great choice for your new kitchen cabinet doors.  Their design and functionality can give your kitchen an entirely new look and feel.  Tambour doors come in a variety of wood materials as well as metal.

Cabinet Doors That Work Well in Contemporary and Traditional Designs

Tambour cabinet doors fit well within European or contemporary design schemes but can also work nicely in traditional designs if you choose the right wood or stain color.  You can also select particular areas of your cabinetry to use tambour doors such as cabinets for small appliances or bread storage.  Create a unique kitchen space by utilizing tambour doors for some or all of your kitchen cabinetry.

Posted by: Cathy, Kitchen Cabinet Pro

There are certainly many styles, designs and types of kitchen cabinets from which to choose when you are making your plans.

      Modern Kitchen Cabinets

If you choose painted metal, you can spice up your décor with your favorite color and then accentuate with contrasting or various shades of the cabinet color. Additionally, light woods such as maple are also a good choice for a modern style.

      Traditional Kitchen Cabinets

      Traditional Kitchens are generally equipped with wood kitchen cabinets and there are many beautiful woods to select from. You can opt for dark or light wood cabinets, depending on your space and the look you want. The lighter the wood tone, the larger your kitchen will appear.
