In time for spring we have remodelled our website. Check out our new site at www.smartpackkit.com.au

A new look, easier navigation and more ebooks and brochures for you to download together with our pricelists and 3D DYOS design program. It is also easier now to book an appointmennt for a measure and quote online in Sydney, ACT, Perth, Tennant Creek, Mildura and Mackay for the full custom kitchen, laundry and wardrobe installation service. We still make the premium flatpack system in Australia and we ship anywhere on the East Coast for $250 when the order is over $6000. 

The Smartpack online store is now much easier to use with no registration required and has products like drawer runners and hinges along with accessories for kitchen, laundry wardobes and home office. The best news is that we offer free shipping on the store for orders over $100 online.

Wear Resistant Laminate used in the standard range benchtops

Laminates are not all scuff resistant and environmentally preferable laminate.

This is why Smartpack has chosen a laminate with double the wear resistance performance for the standard range benchtops.

Introduced more than two decades ago, ARP is one of the most significant improvements in the performance of high pressure decorative laminates.  The armored protection surface is engineered using aluminium oxide particles blended with clear resins.  Together they form a protective layer that allows objects to slide over the laminate surface as if they were on ball bearings.

Unlike other laminates using overlays that cloud the design, ARP’s patented process always allows the subtlety and depth of the decorative paper to show through.  This dramatic clarity isn’t compromised by the surface protection during the serviceable life of the laminate.
Why Aluminum Oxide?
Aluminum oxide is harder than common everyday objects, protecting laminates against the wear caused when those objects slide across the surface.  Yet, aluminium oxide is softer than silicon carbide or diamond which are commonly used in making cutting tools and blades.

Armored Protection keeps laminates looking new longer in the following ways:

It protects the laminate’s color by reducing surface wear caused by common abrasive substances such as sand (silica) particles present in dirt, dust, paper bags an

d boxes.  Standard industry wear  resistance tests (NEMA LD3) show armored protection outlasts conventional laminates.

It reduces gloss change (dulling and buffing).

BECOMING A KITCHEN DESIGNER AS EASY AS D.Y.O.S

SmartPack Kitchens’ DYOS program gives renovators the ability to design, view in 3D and cost their kitchen or home office renovation. The results speak for themselves.

The "DYOS" design

...and the Reality 3 weeks later.

With SmartPack Kitchens’ new Design Your Own SmartPack (DYOS) software, renovators can point and click their way to kitchen and home office designs – seeing the results in 3D and getting an estimate of cabinetry costs – in their own home and without talking to a salesperson.

Downloadable free of charge from www.smartpackkit.com.au, the program guides customers through the design process: from entering their room’s dimensions, marking out windows and doors, adding to-scale cabinetry options and choosing colours and finishes. Customers can change their options with the click of the mouse – then view and print out their 3D design. Here is the direct link to the DYOS program .

DYOS automatically calculates the order requirements and cost (bar benchtops), so customers can easily consider the budget implications of different configurations. There’s also the option to buy $50 sample kit, which contains an extensive range of sample finishes for benches, doors and handles, plus a $100 SmartPack voucher which makes the end cost much less than zero.

Managing Director of SmartPack Kitchens, Mike Caminer says DYOS gives customers the best of both words: total control over the design with expert advice on-hand if required. A free video skype call can be made from the contact page and a designer can share the onscreen design with you while you chat.

“The system is almost foolproof, as most errors are obvious in 3D. But to be certain, SmartPack Kitchen’s qualified designers can check each DYOS design free of charge, picking up oversights that might only be evident to a trained eye,” Mike Caminer says.

Caminer adds that SmartPack can also design custom cabinetry, so that the finished kitchen fits the customers’ requirements exactly.

Australia’s premier quality flatpack system for kitchens, home offices and garage/workshops, SmartPack kitchens are constructed around a cam and dowel system that is easy-to-assemble and requires no sawing, drilling or screws.

Having backed more than 15,000 kitchen and other home renovation projects over the past 20 years, SmartPack Kitchens’ aim is providing the best value – rather than the cheapest price – in the market. The company’s components are manufactured in ISO 9001-accredited facilities and are guaranteed for seven years, while fittings – SmartPack uses leading European brands such as Hettich and Blum - carry the manufacturers’ lifetime warranties.

The result is that renovators get quality outcomes, a designer look – and now, complete design control - at $thousands less.

“There’s no longer the need to put up with heavy sales pressure – or worse, ‘cowboy’ kitchen companies that are here one day and gone the next. With DYOS you are in control at every step of the way, with the option of free, expert advice to make sure you get a great result at a value-for-money price,” says Caminer.

Developed in third-generation technologies at a cost of more than $500,000, the DYOS program works on both Windows-based and Macintosh computers although there are some anomolies on Mac.  In addition to the kitchen and home office programs available now at www.smartpackkit.com.au
