At St Clair Sheetmetal, we know that every project, whether it’s a custom stainless steel bench for a commercial kitchen or a bespoke splashback for a home renovation, starts with a vision. And while great ideas are the beginning, bringing those ideas to life with precision, durability, and practicality is what truly makes the difference.
As trusted stainless steel fabricators on the Sunshine Coast, we design, build, and install durable, high-quality metalwork for clients across Queensland. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our process, from concept to completion.
Step 1: Consultation & Site Measure
Every successful build starts with a conversation. We begin by understanding exactly what you need, whether it’s a one-off piece of equipment, a full kitchen fit-out, or something completely outside the box.
Our team will visit your site (where applicable) to take precise measurements and assess the space. We’ll discuss design details, functionality, placement, and any specific requirements, such as drainage, height restrictions, or integration with existing appliances or surfaces.
We also offer recommendations on stainless steel grades, finishes, and configurations to suit your budget, use case, and environmental conditions.
Step 2: Design & Customisation
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary details, we move into the design phase. Unlike mass-produced options, our work is entirely custom. This gives you full flexibility in how your final product looks and functions.
Whether you need integrated sinks, splashbacks, shelving, storage, or ventilation features, our team will incorporate everything into a cohesive design that maximises efficiency and safety.
We provide detailed sketches or CAD drawings when needed, giving you a clear view of what we’re building and how it fits your space.
Step 3: In-House Fabrication
All fabrication is carried out in our fully equipped workshop in Forest Glen on the Sunshine Coast. This means no outsourcing, no delays, and complete control over the quality of every weld, bend, and finish.
We use only high-grade stainless steel, typically 304 for general applications and 316 for environments where corrosion resistance is critical, such as coastal areas or medical settings.
Our skilled team carries out precise TIG and MIG welding, shaping, cutting, and polishing each component by hand. It’s this craftsmanship that sets us apart and ensures every piece we produce is made to Australian standards—and made to last.
Step 4: Delivery & Installation
Once your piece is complete, we’ll deliver and install it with care and professionalism. Whether it’s a full commercial kitchen or a single splashback, we make sure everything fits seamlessly into your space.
Because we’ve handled the project from the start, we’re equipped to manage any last-minute adjustments on-site and ensure everything is perfectly aligned, sealed, and ready for use.
