Why installers choose Accent Kitchens at MKM
Kitchens delivered in as little as 5 days
When you're fitting kitchens for customers, keeping projects on schedule is everything. Delays can impact multiple jobs, create frustration for homeowners, and put pressure on your reputation. Whether you're managing a single renovation or several installations at once, having a reliable kitchen supplier can make all the difference.
Fast availability is particularly valuable when:
- Customers make late design decisions
- Replacement units/doors are needed quickly
- Installation schedules are tightly booked
- Multiple projects are running simultaneously
With quicker turnaround times, it means more projects can be completed throughout the year and with MKM you reduce the risk of costly delays.
That's why many installers and joiners choose Accent Kitchens at MKM. Available with delivery direct to site in as little as five working days, Accent combines fast lead times, durable construction, extensive design choice and dependable support from your local MKM branch.
Built for the Trade: Cabinets designed to last
A kitchen is only as good as the cabinets within it. Accent Kitchens are designed with robust construction that installers can trust.
Key features include:
- Over 2,700 paint to order colours
- 4 cabinet colours supplied prebuilt - ready for install
- 18mm cabinets with 18mm back panels - durable 2mm PVC edging
- 18 – 22mm quality timber doors
- Soft close as standard, with adjustable hinges so your customer can choose the speed.
Why this matters on site
Pre-assembled cabinets mean less time spent building units and more time fitting them. For installers, this can deliver several advantages:
- Faster installation times
- Reduced labour on site
- Greater confidence in long-term performance
- Fewer remedial visits and call-backs
Strong cabinet construction also provides reassurance for homeowners who expect a kitchen to withstand years of everyday use.
Over 60 Kitchen door ranges to suit every customer
No two customers want exactly the same kitchen. Some prefer the timeless appeal of a shaker kitchen, while others want sleek, contemporary handleless designs.
Accent offers a huge choice of door styles to meet virtually any customer requirement, including:
- Traditional kitchens
- Shaker kitchens
- Contemporary kitchens
- Timber-effect designs
- Painted finishes
- Real timber options
Door styles are available in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from 18mm to 22mm, helping achieve the right look and feel for every project.
Quality construction also helps minimise common issues such as delamination, giving both installers and homeowners much more confidence in the finished kitchen.
Benefits for installers
Working with a broad range of styles allows you to:
- Cater for more customers from one trusted supplier
- Upsell to premium door ranges
- Supply kitchens across different budgets
- Win projects across a wider variety of property types
With over 60 door ranges available within the Accent collection, there's a solution for almost every design brief.
Never lose a sale on colour again
Customers are becoming increasingly specific about colour choices, and rightly so. Today's homeowners aren't limited to standard kitchen shades, they want kitchens that reflect their individual style.
Accent Kitchens offer access to over 2,700 paint to order colours, making it easier to satisfy even the most particular customer requests.
Imagine a customer wanting:
- A heritage blue shaker kitchen
- A contemporary olive green finish
- A bespoke colour inspired by an interior design scheme
- A precise match to existing décor
Rather than compromising, you can offer a tailored solution.
How colour flexibility helps win more work
Greater colour choice allows installers to:
- Differentiate themselves from competitors
- Meet bespoke customer requirements
- Offer premium upgrades
- Increase quote conversion rates
When customers realise, they can have exactly the colour they want, it can be the difference between winning and losing a project.
Soft close as standard, adjustable for every customer
Small details often make the biggest impression.
Accent Kitchens come with soft close hinges as standard, helping create a premium feel without additional upgrades.
The adjustable closing speed allows installers to fine tune performance during installation, ensuring doors operate exactly as customers expect.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced customer experience
- Reduced wear and tear
- Fewer slamming doors
- Easy adjustment during fitting
- Premium specification without premium add-ons
It's another example of how Accent Kitchens are designed with both installers and homeowners in mind.
Site delivery designed around tradespeople
Time spent moving materials around site is time not spent installing.
Accent Kitchens are available with two man room of choice delivery, helping ensure products are delivered where they're needed.
This is particularly useful for:
- New-build developments - Where multiple kitchens are being installed across several plots.
- Renovation projects - Helping minimise disruption inside occupied homes.
- Multi-storey properties - Reducing the challenge of moving heavy cabinets upstairs.
By placing products closer to the point of installation, you can improve efficiency, reduce manual handling and get started sooner.
