Flat Pack Kitchens

Learn more about flat-pack kitchens

Flat-pack kitchens, also known as ready-to-assemble units, consist of kitchen carcasses, doors, and hardware packed into individual boxes. 

The Benchmarx range focuses on high-density materials and precision-drilled components to ensure that, once assembled, the structural integrity rivals that of pre-assembled units. This modular approach allows for maximum flexibility in layout design and significantly reduces lead times.

 

Typical uses

Our flat-pack units are the preferred choice for a variety of residential and commercial settings:

 

• Property renovations: Ideal for refreshing kitchens where budget and speed of installation are primary factors.

• New build developments: Perfect for multi-plot sites where units need to be stored efficiently before being moved into position.

• Utility rooms: A cost-effective way to create extra storage and workspace in secondary rooms.

• Rental properties: Durable, easy-to-replace components that provide a high-end look at a trade-friendly price point.

 

How to choose the right flat-pack kitchen

 

• When selecting your units, consider the "Working Triangle" of the kitchen layout. 

• Ensure the space is accurately measured, taking into consideration door and window openings, electrical outlets, plumbing etc.

• Choose kitchen cabinets that will stand up to daily demands and intended use. You can look at the product specifications for cabinet thickness, finish and material.

• Select the colour, finish and functionality to complement the overall design. 

• If the kitchen is for a high-traffic family home, opt for durable laminate or foil-wrapped doors that are easy to wipe clean. 

• For smaller spaces, look for modular units with integrated storage solutions, such as pull-out larders or corner carousels, to maximise all available space.

 

Before you order

To ensure a seamless installation, keep these trade tips in mind:

 

• Check what’s in the box. Take a look at the product specification to ensure it comes with all the fittings needed for installation.

• Ensure you order all necessary component parts of your flat-pack kitchen, such as end panels, plinths, and cornices, and fixings as these are often sold separately from the main carcasses.

• Storage conditions: Keep flat-pack boxes in a dry, level area to prevent the boards from bowing or swelling due to moisture before assembly.

• Tool prep: While Benchmarx kitchen units are designed for easy assembly, ensure you have a high-quality cordless drill and the correct driver bits to avoid stripping the pre-drilled holes.
