No showroom in Hornsby.
No catalogue widths either.
Hornsby 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
Yes. Nothing about Hornsby changes the product: 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hardware on every cabinet, cut to your drawing and freighted south along the Pacific and New England highways. What changes is the freight line on the quote and who fits it, because installation outside Central Queensland is your own builder or installer rather than us.
Why does the specification matter in Hornsby?
Tight entries, shared driveways and a lift if you are lucky. Measuring the path from the truck to the room matters as much as measuring the room, and it is the question that usually decides flat pack over assembled on these jobs. Most enquiries here are apartments and semis where a built cabinet will not fit through the door, which is exactly what flat pack solves.
How does it reach Hornsby?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific and New England highways. 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 Hornsby?
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 New South Wales that is NSW Fair Trading. 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.
Who gets the cartons off the truck in Hornsby?
You do, or whoever you arrange. Freight to a residential address is generally kerbside, and a kitchen is a lot of cartons, several of them long and heavy enough to want two people. Builders usually have this handled. If you are doing it yourself, line up help and somewhere dry for the cartons before the delivery date rather than on the day.
What does the quote actually itemise?
Every cabinet as its own line with its width and what is in it, the benchtop by material and linear metre, the hardware by brand, the doors by finish, and freight to your Hornsby postcode on a line of its own. No allowances, no provisional sums, no "from" price with the catches left out. If you take an item off, you see exactly what comes off the total, which is the point of itemising it in the first place.
What if the walls in Hornsby 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.
Where else do you ship in Greater Sydney?
We ship to Penrith, Parramatta, Campbelltown, Blacktown, Liverpool, the Sutherland Shire, the Northern Beaches, Castle Hill and the rest of the region on the same route. The Greater Sydney page covers the region, and New South Wales covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Four real seasons means four cycles of movement a year. Over a decade that is what separates a kitchen that still closes properly from one that does not, and it is decided by the edging and the hinge, not by the door colour.
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 Hornsby kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.

Frequently asked
Hornsby — 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 Hornsby?
Yes. Hornsby is served south along the Pacific and New England highways, 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 Hornsby?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Hornsby 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 Hornsby?
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 Greater Sydney orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Hornsby?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In New South Wales, NSW Fair Trading 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 Hornsby?
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 Hornsby 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 Hornsby 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.
