Quality –

C
abinet doors, lift systems and
kitchen pull-outs are used far
more often than, for example,
the front door. Fittings play a decisive
role in kitchens in terms of convenience
and long life. That’s why Blum checks
and tests the functionality and quality of
its products before they are launched.
Different research and test procedures
simulate within a few days what the load
conditions are for many years. This al-
lows the company to make improve-
ments tomaterials and design before the
fittings are put into everyday kitchen use.
All the tests and improvements are not
only based on kitchen surveys and in-
house quality requirements but also on
generally applicable standards. That’s
why you should look out for quality
marks and certification issued by inde-
pendent testing institutes. They provide
objective information on the quality and
longevity of fittings.
