Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinetry

What is Fifth Avenue cabinetry made from?

Our cabinetry is available in a range of carefully selected materials, including laminate, thermolaminate, timber veneer and solid Australian timber.
Our solid timber cabinetry is crafted from either Messmate or Victorian Ash, while our veneers and laminates are applied over high-quality structural board.
Our timber and board suppliers hold FSC and PEFC certification, supporting responsible and sustainably managed forestry practices.

What is the difference between laminate, thermolaminate, woodgrain, timber veneer and solid timber?

Laminate and thermolaminate offer smooth, solid colour finishe in a range of colours.
Woodgrain laminate recreates the look and texture of timber without using real timber.
Timber veneer uses a thin layer of genuine Australian timber over a strong structural board, offering the natural look and feel of timber at a more accessible price point.
Solid timber is genuine timber throughout the cabinetry, giving each piece its own natural grain and character.

How durable are the cabinetry finishes?

Our finishes are selected for their durability and resistance to everyday scratches and stains. With the right care, they’re designed to look beautiful for years to come.

Natural timber will gradually develop character and variation over time, which is part of its unique appeal.

What colours and finishes are available?

We offer a carefully curated range of colours, timber tones and finishes across our cabinetry collections. View our Finishes & Materials page here to explore the full selection.

Can I order a Fifth Avenue vanity or shaving cabinet in a custom size?

Depending on the design and requirements, we may be able to accommodate custom cabinetry. Please contact us directly or speak with your nearest Fifth Avenue stockist to discuss your project.

Do the vanities and shaving cabinets come fully assembled?

Yes. All Fifth Avenue vanities and shaving cabinets are supplied fully assembled and ready for installation.

How do I clean and care for my cabinetry?

Care requirements vary depending on the material and finish. View our latest Care & Maintenance Guide here for recommended cleaning and maintenance instructions.

Can I see physical samples before ordering?

Absolutely. Visit or contact your nearest Fifth Avenue stockist to view available cabinetry displays, finish samples and other product materials.

Can I change the handles on my vanity?

Of course, while our vanities are supplied with Brushed Brass Orlato handles as standard, we offer a selection of handle styles and finishes so you can tailor the cabinetry to your bathroom design.

Can I match my vanity with other cabinetry or mirrors?

Yes. Our shaving cabinets and mirrors are designed to complement our vanity collections, making it easy to carry matching or coordinating finishes throughout your bathroom.

Does the vanity include a benchtop?

Benchtops are not included as standard. You can pair your vanity with one of our carefully curated Fifth Avenue Signature Surfaces, selected to complement our cabinetry finishes.

Can I order a vanity without a benchtop?

Yes. If you’re sourcing your own stone, marble or another benchtop material, you can order the vanity cabinetry without a benchtop.

Does the vanity include a basin?

No. Basins are sold separately, giving you the freedom to select the style that best suits your vanity and bathroom. View our basin collection here.

How does the plumbing effect drawer space?

Our vanities include an Art Plastics Space Saver plumbing system, helping maximise the drawer space. A traditional plumbing cut-out can also be requested where required.

Are the drawers full extension?

Yes. Our Hettich drawer runners offer smooth operation and full extension, allowing easy access right to the back of the drawer.

Are the drawers and cupboards soft-close?

Yes. Our Hettich drawer runners and Blum Bluemotion 3D hinges provide smooth, soft-close operation as standard. Drawers can also be upgraded to push-to-open upon request.

Can the internal drawer or cupboard configuration be changed?

Our standard cabinetry configurations are designed with years of expert experience offering you the optimal layout, however for projects requiring something different, custom options may be available and can be discussed with our Melbourne-based team.

Do vanities and shaving cabinets need to be fixed into wall studs?

Yes. For safe and secure installation, cabinetry must be properly fixed to suitable structural support within the wall. Your tradesperson should confirm the installation requirements before fitting.

Can I have power points installed inside my cabinetry?

Yes. Power points can be added to selected vanities and shaving cabinets as an optional upgrade, including within cupboards or drawers depending on the configuration.

Our vanities and shaving cabinets are made to order in Melbourne. Please allow up to two weeks for manufacture, unless otherwise advised.

Is Fifth Avenue cabinetry made locally?

Yes. Our vanities and shaving cabinets are proudly made in Melbourne by our local cabinetry team.

If you need to amend an order, please contact your retailer or Fifth Avenue as soon as possible. In some circumstances, changes may be possible if requested within 24 hours of ordering.

Can I order replacement parts later?

Yes. If you require replacement or additional parts such as handles or hinges, please contact the retailer you purchased your Fifth Avenue product from and they can assist with ordering.
