Trade access, not a discount club
Trade terms should support specification control
Capramont trade access is designed for professional buyers who need samples, finish sign-off, project clarity, product proof and repeat ordering support. Exact commercial terms are confirmed after application so the account route can match the buyer, project type and ordering pattern.
Trade account routes by buyer type
The right route depends on whether the buyer is still evaluating Capramont, selecting samples, working on a live project or ready for approved account ordering.

| First shape and scale review | Essential Handle & Knob Set | The buyer wants a first physical impression of handle and knob form. | View Sample Set |

When to move from trade access to a Hardware Schedule
A trade account may be enough for straightforward repeat orders. A Hardware Schedule is better when the order needs one controlled record for products, finishes, centres, quantities, rooms and approvals.
Use Project & Drawing Review when...
You have drawings, elevations, cabinetry colours, door counts, proposed product choices, custom-centre questions or an existing schedule that needs checking before quotation or order release.
Send Project DetailsUse a Hardware Schedule when...
The project involves multiple rooms, several product types, repeat sizes, finish approval, revisions, phased delivery, client sign-off or future reorders and additions.
Start a Hardware ScheduleProduct proof available before ordering
Use samples, PDP imagery, visible specification data, product tear sheets and project support to reduce uncertainty before made-to-order production.

Who can apply for a Capramont & Co trade account?
Trade access is intended for kitchen studios, joiners, cabinet makers, interior designers, architects, FF&E/procurement teams, developers and project teams specifying cabinet hardware for client or project work.
Is trade access the same as a project partner account?
No. Trade access is the general account review route for eligible buyers. A project partner route is more suitable where repeat projects, showroom use, project sample boxes, Hardware Schedules or larger specification support are involved.
Do I need a live project to apply?
A live project is helpful but not always required. If you are a relevant studio, designer, joinery company or project team, you can apply for Trade Access and explain whether you need samples, project support or future account ordering.
Are sample costs credited against a later order?
Sample credit should only be described where Capramont & Co has confirmed the rule. If a credit route applies, it should be confirmed in writing before order release, including the qualifying order, expiry, whether it applies to samples or project activation, and how the credit is applied.
Are trade discounts shown publicly?
No. Publicly listing exact trade discounts is not recommended unless formally approved. Trade terms should be reviewed after application and confirmed before made-to-order hardware is released.
Can Capramont review drawings or schedules?
Yes. Project teams can send drawings, elevations, door counts, schedules or early product choices through the Project & Drawing Review or Hardware Schedule route.
When should I start a Hardware Schedule?
Start a Hardware Schedule when a project involves multiple rooms, repeat product types, custom centres, finish approvals, quantities, revisions or client sign-off. It keeps the hardware record controlled before ordering.
Can approved trade buyers order online?
Approved trade ordering should route through the trade account system after qualification. SparkLayer should be used for approved trade pricing and repeat trade ordering, not as the first step for unqualified visitors.
