CARB stands for California Air Resources Board, also known as Air Resources Board (ARB). It is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. It was established in 1967 with the purpose of maintaining and improving air quality, and researching causes and solutions of air pollution. CARB's mandates, such as CARB 2 compliant MDF, are strict and usually are considered the standard across the United States.
What is CARB Phase 2 Compliant?
CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 are a part of California's Composite Wood Products Regulation (CWP Regulation), which took effect in 2009 with Phase 1. The regulation has to do with reducing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF). In the 2009 rollout of the CARB's Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM), formaldehyde emissions were capped at .08 parts per million (ppm). CARB Phase 2 went into effect in 2010 and has much lower formaldehyde emissions than the previous phase; set at .05 ppm. A main reason why the CARB ATCM is the strictest air quality measure is because it CAPS emissions levels. Other air quality standards are averages.
Unfinished Shaker
Product Overview
Ships in 2-5 weeks
The Unfinished Shaker cabinets are for the ultimate DIY'er looking to personalize their home cabinets. These cabinets come unfinished and unsealed, ready to be painted or stained to match any decor style. It's important to note that while these cabinets are delivered unfinished, they are meant to be finished before installation, not left in their raw state. To ensure the best possible finish, it is recommended to blow any dust off the cabinetry and parts, with an air gun after delivery, prior to staining or painting. This preparation step helps to achieve a smooth and professional-looking finish on the cabinets.

If installed directly against a wall or deeper cabinet/appliance, 1/4" space is recommended, scribe molding can be installed between the cabinet and the wall (or deeper cabinet), if needed. If not, the door may not be able to open a full 90 degrees. A larger space may be needed depending on the decorative hardware used on the cabinets. The cabinet depth measurement listed is the depth from the front of the face frame to the back of the cabinet, and does not include the cabinet door depth. Cabinet specs are subject to change without notice. *Cabinet measurements are typically converted from metric to inches and manufacturers will commonly round up to the nearest 1/4 inch. This can cause a measurement to be off by a fraction of an inch (less than 1/4") which is within normal industry standards* Schematic images and renderings are generic and may not represent exact construction details for each collection. The exact specifications for this collection can be found in the construction details listed above. |
