KCMA Certified Cabinets
Oak Kitchen Cabinets & Maple Kitchen Cabinets built to Highest Standards
What does KCMA stand for?
KCMA is simply an abbreviation for Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association. It is not a brand or a style of cabinet, although some people see this acronym on their installed cabinetry and erroneously take it to mean a particular cabinet manufacturer.
What are KCMA Certified Cabinets? KCMA certification is a Quality Seal. All cabinets that are KCMA certified comply with the rigorous standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and sponsored by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA). HELPFUL NOTE: People searching for replacement parts
for their KCMA certified cabinets should specifically search for the name of the manufacturer who made their cabinets and not for KCMA, which is a large category, including numerous manufacturers. Our company offers KCMA Certified Cabinets from Sunco Fine Cabinetry. As a kitchen cabinet manufacturer and Sunco distributor, we supply KCMA certified oak kitchen cabinets, and KCMA Certified maple kitchen cabinets built to the highest standards. Cabinets that comply to ANSI/KCMA
A161.1 (Performance & Construction Standard for Kitchen and Vanity Cabinets) and bear the KCMA certification seal are recognized in the marketplace as a quality product able to perform after a rigorous battery of tests simulating years of typical household use. The ANSI/KCMA A161.1 program is referenced by U.S. government agencies, architects, builders, remodelers, and other specifiers. KCMA Certified Lines
