General
Construction details:
Last updated 18 December, 2011 All cabinetry
is supplied as flat-pack, meaning that the cabinet is supplied unassembled,
but pre-drilled and with all components and associated hardware supplied.
A typical carcass-only
cabinet flat-pack contains the two end panels (referred also as gables
in some states), a bottom shelf, a middle shelf and a top rail (if it
is a base cabinet) and a back all made from 16mm High Moisture Resistant
(HMR)white melamine particle board.
The kit form cabinet
also includes a front door or drawer front in a specified colour finish
- either in Laminate (melamine),Vinyl or 2-pack Polyurethane paint,
or unfinished MDF for D.I.Y painting- as selected for each product.
For details on Colour Finish see STEP 5:
Colours & Profiles
Kit form cabinets are priced individually - depending on
the product and dimensions specified by you.
Carcass-only cabinets are priced in size ranges - but uniquely
- price reductions rounded to whole Dollars are calculated if any cabinet
selected has a smaller Height, Width or Depth.
The individually labelled cabinet components are supplied pre-drilled
(machined) and pre-edged, ready for assembly.
All required assembly hardware, door hinges, drawer sides and runners
and adjustable legs are included. We supply some extra small items such
as screws to compensate for accidental loss during assembly. The components
are typically grouped together and packaged as one pack, however sometimes
parts of another cabinet are bundled into the same package for packing
optimisation.
 |
All our cabinetry is manufactured to meet or exceed the Building
Code of Australia (BCA) as described in: "Guide to KITCHEN
& BATHROOM CONSTRUCTION - edition 2 September
2007" of the Housing Industry Association Ltd (HIA). |
The various Standards and Recommendations are referenced in the text
that follows. The publication is available from the HIA via their website
hia.com.au. The discourse here is based
on the expectation that the person that is assembling these flat-pack
cabinets has some basic Cabinet Making experience, because they are
custom manufactured to the size that you specify and are not a modular,
pre-set size. A general, detailed "Assembly Guide"
will be distributed on CD-ROM or as a PDF file with the delivered components
- all of whom are individually labeled.
Any competent DIY'er should find the assembly process easy enough to
follow. You will need the basic Cabinet Making tools, such as a drill,
battery drill etc to assemble the cabinets.
Inclusions and Exclusions
Wall based units include a TOP, but Floor based units are EXCLUSIVE
of a Benchtop and Kick Boards. These components normally cover more
than one cabinet and should be ordered separately.
Bench tops are not included for Base (Floor) cabinets
(unless ordered specifically) because:
(1) they normally cover more than one cabinet at the time and
(2) often these are typically either a Granite or a Man-made material
(like Ceasa Stone, SileStone, RockSolid, etc.) which require a Stone
Mason to cut & polish the bench top (often on-site).
Cabinets on-Demand does supply also High pressure Laminate
(Laminex, Wilson Art) Benchtops that can be ordered separately.
Other benchtop materials, such as Granite, Engineered stone, Corian,
Stainless steel etc. will need to sourced from a local Supplier and
we suggest that you either contact your local HIA (Housing Industry
Association) who can provide you with a list of suppliers or browse
through the Yellow Pages.
Kickboards and Fascias are not included as normally
these are ordered to cover more than one Cabinet and are shaped on site
to fit the cabinet configuration
Door Handles are optional but: - handle screw holes
are NOT pre-dilled as placement is better identified once cabinets are
in place, and again depend on personal preference (For some doors you
may have the handles centered and horizontal, for others (e.g. wall
units) at the bottom and vertical).
Mounting screws or wall anchors required to fix a
cabinet to the wall are NOT included either, because everyone has different
fixing methods and it is also dependant upon the wall surface you are
fixing the cabinet to (timber frame, steel frame, brick or concrete).
All the parts are supplied clearly labeled, so unpacking and sorting
at the final destination is simple. The hardware to build the cabinets
are supplied in the hardware box, this is typically a separate box with
all the hardware for all cabinets in it. The smaller items (such as
screws and cam fittings) will be grouped in bags & labeled, while
the larger items (such as hinges and drawer runners) will often be supplied
in separate smaller boxes. and all the hardware to build that cabinet
(screws, cams, hinges, drawer runners).
Door Style - Material Finish There is a wide range
of choice to select the Material that you would like the Doors, Drawer
Fronts, End-panels or Kickboards made from – as well as the actual colour/manufacturer
or finish.
• Laminate (Melamine) - 16mm Coloured
High Moisture Resistant (HMR) Particle Board;
• Gloss Laminate (Formica) - 1mm thick high gloss
Melamine coating on a 16mm HMR board in nine colours;
• Unfinished - 18mm MDF - High Moisture Resistant
Board with a range of Face and Edge profiles - ready for DIY painting;
• Vinyl Wrap - TEXTURE finish with a range of Colour/Profiling
options called "Belmont" style;
• Vinyl Wrap - GLOSS finish, with a range of Colour/Profiling
options, called "Byron Bay" style;
• Polyurethane painted - TEXTURE finish and a range
of Colour options options - called "Albany" style;
• Polyurethane painted - GLOSS finish - with a range
of Colour options options - called "Avoca style".
Cabinets are constructed in accordance with the dimensions are specified
by the user - this is our great strength - but of course can be made
to conform to general standard measurements as shown below:
or as a side elevation suggest:
All cabinet construction is typical "butt joint" construction and follows
the Euro method of construction (frame less method), which is typically
used throughout kitchen manufacturers in Australia.
 
The internal cabinet material (carcass) is made from 16mm white H.M.R
(high moisture resistant) melamine particleboard board, which is again
typically used by kitchen manufacturers in Australia.
Hinges and Drawer Sides and Slides are supplied by Hettich for high
quality fitting and easy adjustments and are guaranteed for 10 years.
All straight edging on the carcasses is 1mm white PVC edging (impact
resistant) -for durability and longevity, but Melamine is used when
PVC is not supplied, while 2mm PVC can be chosen at a small additonal
cost per cabinet.
Door and Drawer Gaps are set to 1.5mm for both LH
and RH sides. Other dimensions can be specified in the "Special Instructions"
boxes. (See Below).
Shelves are have a defaylt set-in from the front of
80mm for Base, 15mm for Upper and 125mm for Walk-in cabinets, but different
value can be chosen - also the client can set the number of shelves
for each cabinet from 0-7 - the cabinet price is automatically adjusted.
The ends (gables) run the full height of the cabinet,
with the bottom shelf, top shelf or rail 'butting' into the ends.
The back is generally 'planted' on the rear of the
cabinet (the back is full height and full width of the cabinet), however
some of the manufactures have the back inside the cabinet. There is
no right or wrong with this method, it is purely up to the individual
manufacturer and how their factory is set up.
Cabinet components are typically all screw fixed together, using a
range of self-tapping pozi-drive screws, with some other components
requiring the knock-in cam & dowel type construction. In either
case, the total required number of screws and/or cam & dowels are
supplied with each order.
Some Cabinetmakers prefer to nail or staple the components together
initially, before screwing them. Some also pre-drill the components
with a pilot hole, to avoid the possibility of the material splitting
when the screw goes in (more typical if the product they are screwing
is of MDF construction). Others also use glue on the joints to assist
in the strength of the butt joint. These are all optional additional
construction methods and can be preformed if you wish, but things like
the nails, staples, etc are not supplied with the kit.
The bottom of the Floor cabinets, Pantries & Wall Ovens are supplied
pre-drilled, ready to ‘knock-in’ the Plastic legs. If you prefer to
use the solid ladder style kick board construction, then you can just
ignore the leg drilling and build your kick as you normally do.
Any curved parts with exposed edges that require edging will be typically
finished in a 'T-mould' (as conventional edge-banders can only edge
straight edges). If the colour of the curved part for is not a standard
“T-mould” colour, then the traditional thinner melamine edge tape may
have to be applied.
As each cabinet is custom manufactured to your specific size, there
is no 'one all' step-by-step instruction manual that can cover the endless
array of possibilities available, this is where your basic knowledge
of cabinet making is required. Following the steps in the supplied CD
we suggest that you carefully layout each part of the cabinet you are
assembling and 'dry' assemble it if unsure. Even though the parts are
clearly labeled and the supplied hardware sheet outlines the location
of the hardware (with a brief description of its function/location),
care needs to be taken to avoid using the wrong screw or assembling
the cabinet incorrectly.
Before assembly of each individual cabinet, it is recommended that
you layout the cabinet parts out and sort out hardware - before you
start (as it may save you time in the long run and avoid mistakes).
Tools and Hardware required to assemble custom sized Flat-packs. As
a minimum, you will need a battery drill with a pozi-drive bit, a hammer
(to knock in the plastic feet), a tape measure and a drill.
Screw cover caps (dress caps) are an optional accessory and are not
included in the standard Flat-pack, it's use is an individual choice
for Cabinetmakers.
All parts are individually labeled and there is specific information
on each of the labels relating to the individual parts name, sizes &
unique cabinet number, to name just a few. You will find this very helpful
in the construction phase and it makes the construction process very
simple to follow & understand.
Note: the labels do vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The example below is from the Canberra based manufacturer.
The following schematic shows a sample of "standard" cabinets used
in the industry:

Corner
Cabinet for Bi-fold door

For general construction
of Kit form cabinets see:Top
The Corner
cabinet kit set cabinetry include a solid left & right back,
bottom, left & right ends (gables), two top rails and shelf(s).
The bottom shelf is pre-drilled to accept the knock-in style plastic
legs. The shaped shelves have there exposed edges finished in

or angled back corner. Upper units have a top, Floor units are
without a top buthave knock-in adjustable plastic feet.
Adjustable shelves have 5-settings each.
Default Door Gap is 1.5mm.
All parts are labelled and Assembly instructions
are provided on CD attached to the hardware parts. |
Warning: When designing the cabinet dimensions please
ensure Bifold door width is not greater than 600mm. Maximum and Minimum
Door Sizes:
The 3 basic rules to follow have to do with the sizing of the bi-fold
doors.
Rule 1: The minimum size of either individual door (single door) is
220mm.
Rule 2: The maximum size of either individual door (single door) is
430mm.
Rule 3: The maximum combined door size (Left door + Right door) is 650mm.
Tip: The ideal combined door size (Left door + Right door) is between
550mm and 600mm
Here is a quick 'How to' working example of finding out wether the
Door sizes are no problems on a custom sized cabinet:
Assume from your design, you have worked out that you need the following
custom corner cabinet size:
Left Width = 852mm
Right Width = 875mm
Left Depth = 480mm
Right Depth = 580mm
Now you need to test it to see if it's O.K:
Test 1: Left Width 852mm minus Right Depth 580mm = Left Door Size of
270mm.
272mm is greater than the Min. size of 220 and less than the max. size
of 430mm, so this is O.K.
Test 2: Right Width 875mm minus Left Depth 480mm = Right Door Size of
295mm.
295mm is greater than the Min. size of 220 and less than the max. size
of 430mm, so this is O.K.
Test 3: The combined bi-fold door size is Left Door 272mm plus Right
Door 295mm = 567mm
567mm is less than the Max. combined door size of 650mm.
Also, 567mm is greater than the ideal Min. size of 550 and less than
the ideal max. size of 600mm, so this is perfect.
Note: Altering any one of the 4 sizes above alters
the outcome of the door sizes, so if you change the size at any stage
remember to do the simple 3 test rule above.
Our system also has a built-in checker to test the Corner cabinet using
these simple rules but it just returns a message and not a 'how to'.
If you really must have a size and it fails the 3 test rule above, then
put in the size that the computer accepts for the product and use the
'Special requests' box to over-ride the size to a size that you must
have, i.e.: "Over-ride Left Depth to 672mm -I must have this".

Laminate
(Melamine) Colour Range
Laminate
(or Melamine) is the most economical material due to it's durability,
availability, vast choice of colours and low cost.
Melamine is actually a low pressure laminate coating, hence everybody
refers to a Melamine door as actually a Laminated door, so to keep with
tradition we will do the same.
The Laminate door is 16mm thick door and is pre-coated on both sides
in the same colour. The substrate is a HMR (High Moisture Resistant)
material and the Edgings of the Doors are all finished in a 1mm thick
PVC Edge -This is far superior to the tradional iron-on paper edges
as they are not only extremely durable, but don't go brittle over time
like their predecessor.
Cleaning is easy with a sponge using warm water liquid cleaners. Harsh
cleaning products are not recommended.
See STEP
5: Colour & Profiles - Coloured Laminate for the range of standard
colours that are available - or choose your preferrred colour from a
range of suppliers at an additional minimum charge of $385. This charge
covers the extra material (coloured melamine plus a roll of matching
PVC edging) in small uneconomic quantity and ordering costs.
Since 2011 we now
also offer the GLOSS Laminate - a 1mm thick coating
on 16mm HMR board in nine pleasing colours and matching Edge tape -
manufactured by Formica. It has all the advantages of standard laminate
but is in a stunning High Gloss finish - still at a very low cost. See
STEP 5 - Colours & Profiles - GLOSS Laminate
for details and colour range.
Vinyl
Wrap (Thermoformed) Colour Range
Vinyl Wrap
(Thermoformed or Vacuum Wrapped) is the most popular material used in
Kitchen Doors and Drawers today, due to it's sealed edges, availability,
large range of colours and relatively low cost.
A Thermoformed door is actually a Vinyl Wrapped door which has been
applied under heat and vacuum, hence everybody refers to a Thermoformed
door as actually a Vinyl Wrapped door, so to keep with tradition we
will do the same.
The Vinyl Wrapped door is 18mm thick door and is pre-coated on the face
side and 4x Edges only in the chosen colour. The rear of this door is
standard White Laminate. The substrate is a MR MDF (Moisture Resistant
Medium Density Fibreboard) material and the Edgings of the Doors are
all completely sealed by the Vinyl wrapping around -This gives the door
a ‘seamless’ look and also means that you could have a profile finish
on the Face and Edge. Most people cannot differentiate between Vinyl
and Polyurethane painted doors and panels - but there is a great diffeence
in cost.
Specialist
suppliers of Vinyl Wrap doors and panels and modern higher quality materials
and glues ensure a lasting long life quality product.
Cleaning
is easy with a sponge using warm water liquid cleaners. Harsh cleaning
products are not recommended. If this product is damaged, it can not
be fixed, it need to be replaced.
Where the
1mm or 2mm edge tape is available we use the 1mm PVC. The 2mm edge adds
quite a bit more expense but has a radius edge which is the most impact
and chipping resistance.
Our two
Vinyl Styles are manufactured using 18 mm MDF (medium density fibreboard)
with optional Face Design and Edge profiles routered into the face and
/or edges. The component is then covered with a PVC foil which is glued
and heat cured under vacuum to one side of the component. The door foil
comes in a textured, woodgrain, satin or high gloss finish. Panels.
Doors and Drawer Fronts if damaged or scratched are not repairable,
but can often be replaced with matching colours. The doors are easy
to clean and have a 7 year warranty.
For a standard
Textured finish see:Vinyl Wrap-texture
with a choice in Profile, Colour and Finish options.
The more expensive finish would be in a High Gloss Vinyl with recessed
panels see: Vinyl-Wrap-Byron Bay style
For Vinyls
outside the standard range we may have to charge a small additional
cost, depending on the Supplier selected..
2-Pack
Polyurethane (Painted) Colour Range
2-Pack
Polyurethane (or Painted) is the most desired material for Kitchens
today, due to it's beautifully finish, unlimited colour range and sealed
edges.
A Painted door is actually a 2-Pack Polyurethane door which has been
spray painted, hence everybody refers to a Painted door as actually
a 2-Pack Polyurethane door, so to keep with tradition we will do the
same.
The 2-Pack
Polyurethane door is either a 16 or 18mm thick door and is pre-coated
on the face side and 4x Edges only in the chosen paint colour. The rear
of this door is standard White Laminate. The substrate is a MR MDF (Moisture
Resistant Medium Density Fibreboard) material and the Edgings of the
Doors are all completely sealed by the Vinyl paint -This gives the door
a ‘seamless’ look and also means that you could have a profile finish
on the Edge.
Cleaning is easy with a sponge using warm water liquid cleaners. Harsh
cleaning products are not recommended. If this product is damaged, it
can filled and re-sprayed back to it’s former glory.
'Painted'
components are made from 18mm MDF (medium density fibreboard) with can
be routered and profiled as for the Vinyl components with pencil round
edges and sprayed with a chemically cured paint and heat dried.
The paint
finish can range in gloss levels from matt(10%) , satin (30%), semi
gloss (60%) to high gloss (90%). The paint surface is very hard but
can chip - but repairs are relatively easy to do. Paints can be matched
to resemble aged coatings from Years ago.The high gloss can show marks
as does any highly polished surface - and is relatively much more expensive
to apply, as many coat may be needed to ensure an even finish.
Semi gloss
or satin finishes are now more popular. For colour and Profile options
in our ALBANY style range see: STEP 5: Colour
& Profiles > Polyurethane painted - TEXTURE - ALBANY style .
For High
Gloss colour and profile finishes in our AVOCA style range see: STEP
5: Colour & Profiles > Polyurethane painted - GLOSS - Avoca Style

Shipping
For Long Haul shipping the cabinets components are stored in a specially
sized box, to be shipped as one or more "skids" - to ensure it can withstand
the rigours of transhipments and rough handling by carriers. The skid,
which can be 100 - 900 kg is loaded by fork lift in the factory and
is easily opened at the Delivery Address by opening the top and removing
the contents as required.
 
Unfortunately for outlying areas it is not always possible to provide
door-to-door delivery for heavy skids - it those cases the customer
may have to unpack his skid at a Depot or arrange local transport at
a convenient time.
For City delivery to residential addresses we rely on the carrier or
courier to ring in advance to ensure someone is home to accept delivery.
This web site is targeted at the competent
handyperson (who already has a good knowledge of general cabinet construction)
and primarily at the Kitchen Trade Professional, if you are not familiar
with general cabinet construction or are not particularly handy, then
you may require the services of a Tradesperson to assist in the assembly
these cabinets, as there is no detailed step-by-step assembly drawings/instructions
supplied. The assembly process is not complicated one and any competent
Cabinetmaker will find this system a breeze.
For any DIY clients that feel that this
may be beyond them, we can supply technical information, support, design
advice and construction advice –Please refer to the ‘Support’ Tab at
the top of this site for more information and a schedule of rates.
