Eco-friendly Options
Improve the healthiness of your home while protecting the environment by going Green with your cabinetry!
Some more formal benchmarks to look for when purchasing cabinetry:
4 Star Rating - One of the most demanding standards in the world - the Japanese indoor air quality regulation. Products undergo rigorous testing and are awarded stars for low formaldehyde content. The highest rating is 4 stars and is granted by the Japanese MLIT (government ministry).
CARB2 Compliancy – The California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) mission is to improve air quality. Building materials in California must be CARB2 compliant for use in construction. Materials undergo independent emission testing for formaldehyde in order to be approved.
EPP Designation – Environmentally Preferred Product – Material that has been recognized as reducing impact on the environment, across the board.
LEED Accreditation – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – A point system used to rate the reduced impact and human benefit of new buildings. Each design element or construction material is allocated points based on a broad spectrum of environmental benefits, including low emissions, decreased energy consumption, and utilizing recycled materials, to name a few.
Green is the new black, but to us it's been in fashion for years
EcoPlus, Merit Kitchens' environmentally sensitive LEED accredited product line, was originally crafted over a decade ago to meet one of the most demanding standards in the world - the Japanese indoor air quality regulation. EcoPlus was awarded the highest rating - the coveted F☆☆☆☆ (F 4 stars) issued by the Japanese Ministry - guaranteeing it to be healthier for homes, businesses, and the environment as a whole. It's no wonder it's a favourite product for Green building projects and environmentally savvy consumers.
Even our standard products are compliant with EPP, and the highest requirement of CARB2 in California. We are so committed to improving the safety and quality of our customer’s environment, that now all of our MDF products meet the above standards.

Testimonials
"We recently engaged Timea Design Cabinetry to build new cabinets for our kitchen and two small bathrooms initially because we liked that they were an on-island company but still competitive. We felt comfortable with Mike and Rita from the first meeting and appreciated that Rita listened to our needs and incorporated those needs into our small kitchen design. We went with cabinetry by Merit because we liked the quality of their materials, workmanship and warranty. Rita and Mike worked within our limited budget, took time to answer our questions, were always punctual, and kept us informed of progress. It was our experience that they also followed up with allied trades to get the job done in a timely manner. Mike’s workmanship and attention to detail has been outstanding.
We would not hesitate to recommend Mike and Rita at Timea Cabinetry to anyone on Salt Spring needing new cabinetry in their home or business." - Vi and Trevor May, Salt Spring Island, BC

"We shopped around a couple different places prior to deciding on Timea. We were very impressed with their concept, it was completely unique to all the others we looked at and were impressed with the quality of the solid wood Merit products. The price was not much more that the cheaper quality melamine cabinetry options elsewhere. Mike and Rita had some great ideas for us and were more than happy to help us with any questions we had during the planning process and in keeping costs down. Upon install there were some surprises hiding behind the old cabinets, Mike was very helpful in fixing the problems for us and the plumber, dry-waller and electrician he hired did an excellent job. The kitchen was on a slant and the area was not square, typical Salt Spring house, but once finished you can not tell as Mike is really talented in his work and detail. The install work was excellent and when finished were right on point with the budget they proposed at the start. We are very impressed with the whole experience from start to finish and will be hiring them in the future for our bathroom renovation. Thanks!" - Nick and Christine Campbell, Salt Spring Island

“Timea Design did a wonderful job on my new kitchen, I absolutely love it! Their design recommendations turned out really well - the kitchen is comfortable, convenient and looks fantastic. Mike did a superb job of installing the cabinetry including custom pieces that really finish the kitchen beautifully. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you!” - Arlene Nikiforuk, Saltspring Island

"We had Timea come in to renovate our very aged kitchen. They were wonderful! Mike and Rita were extremely professional and knowledgeable, helping us with our initial decisions about material choices and placement. They kept to their time lines and price quotes ( extremely appreciated!) and the work quality was second to none. As time goes on I keep noticing little details as to the craftsmanship of the work. We have also had other tradespeople in for other things and each has commented on how amazing the quality and look is. My father (realtor) has even taken to showing prospective clients our kitchen as an example of “what you can do” with regards to renovating their houses. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Timea complete more projects for us ( and do have some!) thank you for all the hard work!" - Barb & Guy, Salt Spring Island

"What a great experience working with Rita and Mike to renovate our outdated kitchen. Rita’s brilliant suggestions and ideas along with Mike’s conscientious workmanship were outstanding. Rita’s patience and guidance with our evolving ideas never fazed her, and her final design met all our criteria for the most used room of our home. Mike managed all the associated trades needed to complete, and in his “free time” he built us a beautiful custom walnut countertop. We look forward to working with them on our next project. If you want great customer service, a fair price, and excellent workmanship give Timea Design Cabinetry a call."-

"I am delighted with my new kitchen, a real transformation. The quality of the cabinets and workmanship are outstanding. Mike and Rita are helpful, efficient and a pleasure to work with. I hope they will return to do my bathrooms soon!"- Colette Hale, Salt Spring Island

"I contacted Timea Design Cabinetry to update my 1980’s kitchen in my 1970’s house. I’m so pleased with the result! The main comment from my friends was “Wow, this kitchen should appear in a magazine!” Rita and Mike responded quickly and listened to what I wanted and stayed within my budget. Rita prepared plans and I was easily able to discuss ideas, suggestions and changes with her. Once the plans were in place the renovations became much more of a whole house project. The project included updating plumbing, electrical, painting and a new hardwood floor throughout the main level. Mike was agreeable, gave us good ideas and was able to listen and act on our suggestions. Working on an older house provides some challenges but Rita, Mike and team were able to problem solve them. The end result is a bright, airy functional kitchen and home, that I and my family will be able to enjoy for many years. Thanks to Timea Design Cabinetry for making it happen! I’m thinking of remodeling the bathroom/laundry room and I would use the Timea Design Team again without hesitation!"- Leslie Jo Stubbe, Salt Spring Island
