Exhibit 99.1

Norcraft Companies, L.P. Announces Successful Conclusion

of Consent Solicitation

May 20, 2011 – Eagan, Minnesota – Norcraft Companies, L.P. (“Norcraft”) announced today that it had obtained the requisite majority of consents from the holders of its and Norcraft Finance Corp.’s (“Norcraft Finance”) outstanding 10-1/2% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) and successfully completed Norcraft’s previously announced consent solicitation. The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”). As of the Expiration Date, Norcraft has received consents with respect to approximately $179,993,000 aggregate principal amount representing approximately 99.99% of Notes.

As the consents received are sufficient to amend the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”) and the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), Norcraft, Norcraft Finance, Norcraft Canada Corporation (“Norcraft Canada”), and U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under the Indenture, have executed a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture implementing the proposed amendments to the Indenture described in Norcraft’s Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 16, 2011 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as First Lien Agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as Original Second Lien Agent and as Second Lien Collateral Agent, Norcraft, Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P., Norcraft Finance and Norcraft Canada have executed an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement implementing the proposed amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement described in the Consent Solicitation Statement.

The amendments permit Norcraft and Norcraft Finance to issue additional Notes under the Indenture in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million (the “Add-On Notes”) and distribute a portion of the proceeds to Norcraft Holdings, L.P. (“Holdings”) to purchase its 9-3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (the “Discount Notes”) tendered pursuant to Holdings’ previously announced tender offer and to redeem any remaining outstanding Discount Notes, and make conforming changes to the Indenture and amend the Intercreditor Agreement to designate the Add-On Notes as “Senior Secured Notes” (as defined therein).

The consent solicitation remains conditioned on the receipt by Norcraft of at least $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Add-On Notes from a proposed private placement of notes (the “Refinancing Condition”). As the Refinancing Condition has not yet been satisfied, no consent payments will be made by Norcraft at this time.
