Flat pack kitchens
delivered to Tin Can Bay.
Drawn to your room in Rockhampton and freighted to Tin Can Bay, flat packed or delivered assembled. Same board, same Blum hardware, same drawings as every kitchen we build.
The short answer
Yes, we ship to Tin Can Bay. The kitchen is drawn to your measurements, cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Bruce Highway. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same quote, and your own trades fit it — we install in Central Queensland only. Nothing is due to see the drawing or the price, and nothing is cut until you sign the drawing off.
The brief Tin Can Bay actually sets
Near the water it is never the doors that go first, it is everything that moves. Salt finds the cheapest component in the kitchen and works on it. Specifying the hardware properly at the start is most of what a coastal kitchen needs. A lot of downsizers and a lot of second dwellings on big blocks, which is why the kitchenette gets asked about here more than anywhere else.
The run to Tin Can Bay
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Bruce Highway. 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 Tin Can Bay
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 Queensland that is QBCC. 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.
Second-dwelling and rental kitchens
A good share of what we ship to Tin Can Bay goes into secondary dwellings, granny flats and rentals. Those kitchens fail in a predictable order - edging near the sink, then drawer runners, then hinge adjustment - and all three are specification, not bad luck. The board, edging and hardware we ship as standard are chosen so the rental kitchen and the owner kitchen are the same kitchen.
Benchtops, and why they are separate
Laminate ships with the kitchen. Stone does not, and it should not: a stone benchtop is templated off the cabinets after they are installed and level, by a fabricator near you in Tin Can Bay, because a slab cut to a drawing rather than to the room is a slab that does not fit. We quote the cabinetry and the laminate; for stone we tell you the cut-out sizes and the fabricator works from the installed run.
Flat pack or assembled, decided on numbers
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 Tin Can Bay 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.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Summers here are humid enough that the cheap end of flat pack fails at the sink and dishwasher first, usually inside five years. Moisture-resistant board and laser-bonded edging are standard on every cabinet we cut.
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
- Blum soft-close hinges and runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line

Frequently asked
Tin Can Bay — 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 Tin Can Bay?
Yes. Tin Can Bay is served south along the Bruce Highway, 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 Tin Can Bay?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Tin Can Bay 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 Tin Can Bay?
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 Wide Bay and Burnett orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Tin Can Bay?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In Queensland, QBCC is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hinges and runners on every cabinet, in every state. 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 Tin Can Bay?
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.
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.
