Built or flat packed,
delivered to Deloraine.
Deloraine is one freight run from our door in Rockhampton. What arrives is a kitchen drawn for your room, in 18mm moisture-resistant board with soft-close hardware throughout.
The short answer
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland, and freight it to Deloraine south then by sea across Bass Strait — flat packed, or delivered assembled with the doors already hung and adjusted. We do not install in Deloraine; your own builder or installer fits it from our drawings. Send the room dimensions and the quote comes back both ways, fixed and itemised, with freight to your postcode on its own line.
Why does the specification matter in Deloraine?
Out here a missing bracket is not an inconvenience, it is a fortnight. Everything is packed against a numbered drawing and checked before it leaves, because the cost of getting it wrong is measured in distance rather than dollars. Georgian and Federation housing with small original kitchens that almost never suit a catalogue cabinet width.
How does it reach Deloraine?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south then by sea across Bass Strait. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Deloraine?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in Tasmania that is Consumer, Building and Occupational Services. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
What if the walls in Deloraine are not square?
They will not be. Almost no wall in any house is, which is why every run is drawn with scribe allowance at the ends and why we ask for wall measurements at three heights rather than one. The scribe pieces are the strips that take up the difference between a square cabinet and a wall that leans. They ship with the order, and your installer cuts them to the wall on the day.
Is it worth ordering spare parts with the kitchen?
A spare hinge or two and a length of matching edging, yes, and they cost very little alongside the kitchen. Years later a door that takes a knock is a five minute fix if the part is in a drawer and a much longer one if it has to be matched to a finish that may have moved on. Ask for it to be added as a line on the quote rather than assuming it is included.
Flat pack or assembled — which works out cheaper?
The cabinetry price is identical. What differs is the assembly line on the quote and the freight line, because assembled cabinets take several times the truck space of the same kitchen in cartons. To Deloraine that difference is usually decisive, and most orders this far out go flat. But the quote shows both, so it is a number you compare rather than a decision you are talked into.
Where else do you ship in Launceston and the North?
We ship to Launceston, George Town, Scottsdale, Longford, Evandale, Westbury, Bridport on the same route. The Launceston and the North page covers the region, and Tasmania covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Cold, damp winters in older uninsulated housing produce condensation, and condensation sits on the underside of a benchtop and in the back of a sink cabinet where nobody looks. Moisture-resistant board handles that; standard board swells quietly for a year and then lets go.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
- Soft-close hinges and full-extension runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line
What goes inside it
Anyone can sell you boxes.
This is the part that takes knowing.
Carcasses and doors decide how long it lasts. The fittings decide whether you like using it — and most suppliers charge for them at the end. These are included in your Deloraine kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.
Plate and pot racks
Pegs and rails inside a deep drawer so plates stand up and pots stop stacking into each other.

The top shelf of an overhead, brought down to where you can reach it. The shelf you stopped using becomes storage again.

Drawer organisers
Cutlery, knives and spices in fitted trays cut to the drawer, instead of a plastic tray that slides around in it.

Frequently asked
Deloraine — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Deloraine?
Yes. Deloraine is served south then by sea across Bass Strait, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Deloraine?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Deloraine your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Deloraine?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most Launceston and the North orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Deloraine?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In Tasmania, Consumer, Building and Occupational Services is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hinges and full-extension runners on every cabinet, in every state, with the hardware brand named on your quote. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
Can I see a sample before ordering in Deloraine?
Yes. Door, board and edging samples are posted out, and for most people that settles the colour question better than a screen does. Ask when you send the dimensions through.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Deloraine kitchen?
Yes, and they are quoted per item rather than bundled into a package you did not ask for. Pull-down wall baskets, magic corners, tall larder pull-outs and drawer organisers can all go into a Deloraine order. If you order delivered assembled they are fitted before it ships; flat packed, they arrive with the cabinet they belong to.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
