Built for the Tropics
Built for the Tropics
Townsville kitchens face heat, humidity, and a whole lot of activity. That's why durability matters as much as design. Using moisture-resistant materials and quality hardware means your doors stay aligned and drawers glide smoothly year after year - even through wet season stickiness.
If you're designing or renovating, look for low-sheen laminates or vinyls that resist moisture and fingerprints. They're practical, easy to clean, and handle the tropical lifestyle beautifully.
