What does it mean to be a member of the NKBA?

The National Kitchen & Bath Association has been leading the kitchen and bath industry for nearly 50 years. With nearly 40,000 members across the United States and Canada, the NKBA requires professionalism and ethical business practices from all its members.

When you buy a product or service from a business that's a member of the National Kitchen & Bath Association, you know that company has agreed to be bound by the NKBA's code of professional conduct, which requires that the company will:

1. Conduct its business in a manner that's honorable and fair to customers.

3. Never make false or misleading statements to consumers, employees, or other businesses.

5. Help customers to understand and receive all the products and services entitled to them in the sales agreement.
6. Offer services without prejudice to age, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, handicap, or veteran status.
