Many Australian builders are now using flat pack kitchens as an alternative to custom made kitchens. Despite past associations of flat pack kitchens with inferior quality, a number of manufacturers now offer flat pack kitchens of comparable quality to custom made kitchens.
What is the benefit of purchasing a flat pack kitchen?
Purchasing a flat pack kitchen will result in substantial savings and flat pack kitchens are usually available within 1-5 days. Custom made kitchens may take months, depending on the workload of the cabinet maker.
What are the tradeoffs?
Installing a flat pack kitchen means that the kitchen must be designed to fit a select range of cabinet sizes, whereas cabinet makers can accommodate any space and make any sized cabinets. Filler panels the match cabinet doors can be used to hide gaps though, and are often unnoticeable.
