At Hallmark, we have in-house testing facilities along with 3rd party certifying agencies. We test our cabinets beyond industry standards to ensure they stand up to the wear and tear of daily life. These testing facilities recheck our vendor’s certifications and give extra peace of mind that the products we provide fall within the standards we need for you.
| TEST | ICC – ES (ANSI A161.1) REQUIREMENTS |
|---|---|
| Drawer Glides | To ensure smooth operation and years of durability, we open and close our drawers 25,000 times |
| Door Hinges | Similar to the drawer glides, our Door hinges have been tested by opening and closing them 25,000 times, and they live up to the industry standard as well. |
| Resistance Against Chemicals | To ensure the integrity and resistance of our finished doors, drawer fronts & end panels against different chemicals, we expose them to different chemicals for 24 hrs. The chemicals tested include detergent solution, alcohol, lemon juice, orange juice, grape juice, coffee, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and olive oil. No discoloration, stain, deterioration or whitening of the finish after rigorous testing of all the chemicals are allowed. |
| High Heat | Our finishes showed no signs of discoloration or blistering even after exposing them to 120⁰ F at 70% relative humidity for 24 hours. So, based on our extreme tests we can confidently say that you will enjoy years of use without worry about finish deterioration because of regular cooking activities, dishwasher steam or extreme shipping environments. |
