A 1305mm laundry package pairs a trough or sink with a matching cabinet at a width that suits a standard single-car garage bay or a generous laundry alcove. This collection covers freestanding and wall-hung configurations, a range of basin materials, and finish options suited to both functional utility spaces and renovated laundries.
What does a 1305mm laundry package include?
A 1305mm laundry package combines a laundry trough (also called a laundry sink or tub) with a cabinet at an overall width of 1305mm. The package may include a tap or mixer, or be sold as a trough-and-cabinet unit only, with the tapware purchased separately. Most packages also include a waste fitting; confirm this before ordering.
Buying as a package guarantees that the basin, cabinet, and waste hole position are matched from the outset, which avoids the sizing mismatches common when components are sourced separately.
Is 1305mm wide the right size for my laundry?
A 1305mm-wide package suits a laundry with at least 1400mm of clear wall run to allow for door swings, plumbing access panels, and any adjoining cabinetry. The basin bowl depth (typically 250mm to 450mm) determines clearance above, not the cabinet width, so a standard 2100mm ceiling presents no issue.
If your laundry is narrower, compare against the laundry taps and sink combinations available at 900mm or 1200mm widths. For a larger custom laundry build, a 1305mm unit can sit within a run of utility sinks and base cabinetry.
Freestanding or wall-hung: which configuration works for a laundry?
Freestanding laundry packages sit on four legs or a fully enclosed base cabinet and require no structural wall fixing; they suit concrete slabs and rental properties where wall anchoring is impractical. Wall-hung packages mount to a timber-framed or concrete wall and lift the unit off the floor, making floor cleaning easier and giving the space a more contemporary look.
Wall-hung configurations require a structural wall and a licensed plumber to set the drain height correctly during the rough-in stage. Freestanding units are more forgiving of existing plumbing positions.
What materials are laundry troughs made from?
Laundry troughs at the 1305mm width are most commonly made from polyurethane resin (durable, lightweight, chip-resistant), vitreous china/ceramic (heavy, scratch-resistant, suited to visible laundries), and stainless steel (hygienic, durable, easier to source in commercial depths). Each material has a different weight tolerance for the supporting cabinet.
Resin troughs are the most common in Australian laundry packages. Ceramic troughs carry a premium but resist staining better over time. Stainless steel suits high-use utility laundries but shows water marks more readily in matte finishes.
What finishes are available?
White is the default finish for laundry packages and remains the most available option at this width. Matte black laundry packages are available through select ranges and suit darker, more designed laundry spaces. Cabinet finishes vary by brand and may include white gloss, white matte, or woodgrain-effect laminates.
Tapware finish is a separate decision. Paired laundry mixers are available in brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, and brushed brass. Matching the tap finish to other hardware in the space (door handles, towel rails) gives a considered result. Browse tapware options to find a finish that coordinates.
What should I check before buying a laundry trough and cabinet package?
Four specifications matter most: overall width (confirm 1305mm fits the wall run with clearance), basin bowl depth (shallower bowls suit front-loaders stacked above; deeper bowls suit hand-washing heavy items), waste hole position (centred or offset, must match existing drain rough-in), and cabinet door hinge direction (reversible hinges are common but not universal).
Also confirm the weight of the trough. Ceramic basins can exceed 40kg before water load, which changes the cabinet mounting and floor structure requirements.
Which brands supply 1305mm laundry packages?
The Blue Space stocks laundry packages from established Australian-focused suppliers including Timberline, whose cabinetry is manufactured locally, as well as imported ranges from Fienza and other brands known for bathroom and laundry products. Timberline offers the widest range of locally assembled configurations. Fienza packages offer strong value at this width with a consistent white gloss finish.
For related laundry fitout components, Fienza's full range covers basins, cabinets, and accessories that can extend the laundry cabinetry run beyond the trough zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a 1305mm laundry package?
A 1305mm laundry package typically includes a laundry trough or sink and a matching base cabinet at a combined width of 1305mm. Some packages add a tapware mixer and waste fitting; others supply the trough and cabinet only. Always confirm what is included before purchase, as tap and waste are sometimes sold separately.
What is the difference between a laundry trough and a laundry sink?
Laundry trough and laundry sink refer to the same fixture. Trough is the traditional Australian term, while sink is more common in modern product listings. Both describe a utility basin used for hand-washing, cleaning mops, and general laundry tasks. Bowl depth and material differ across products regardless of which term is used.
Can a 1305mm laundry package be wall-hung?
Yes. Wall-hung laundry packages at 1305mm are available and mount directly to a structural wall, raising the cabinet off the floor. This requires a timber-framed or concrete wall capable of bearing the loaded weight, which can exceed 60kg for ceramic troughs, and a plumber to set the drain at the correct height during rough-in.
What material is best for a laundry trough?
Polyurethane resin is the most common material in Australian laundry packages: lightweight, chip-resistant, and lower cost. Ceramic (vitreous china) is heavier but more stain-resistant, suiting high-visibility laundries. Stainless steel suits commercial or high-use settings. Resin is the practical default for most residential laundry renovations.
Do I need a plumber to install a 1305mm laundry package?
Yes. Any connection to fixed water supply or drainage in Australia must be completed by a licensed plumber. This applies to both freestanding and wall-hung laundry packages. Cabinet assembly can typically be done by a competent DIYer, but tap connection, drain fitting, and any changes to the rough-in position require a licensed trade.
