What to ask for
Supplier Documents Every Trade Buyer Should Have
If a supplier will not put these in writing, the questions come back to you after install. Ask for all six.
Specifications
A size table for every SKU
Ask for width, height and depth by SKU, not a brochure. ECG publishes them in the catalog and the Spec Book.
A part-by-part construction spec
Box material, shelf thickness, drawer joinery and hardware. See plywood vs particleboard.
Warranty and claims
Written exclusions
Labor, transport damage and climate are common exclusions; ECG lists them on the warranty page.
A claim process
Know who starts a claim and what proof is needed before a client calls you.
Care and storage
Cleaning and care rules
Mild soap, soft cloth, no abrasives. See cleaning painted cabinets.
Storage before install
Climate-controlled storage protects both the cabinets and the warranty.
