Vanity Buying Guide

A vanity has to fit the room and the plumbing while providing practical storage. Measure the wall, door movement and rough-in positions before choosing a cabinet width or style.

Choose the right type

• Wall-hung vanities make the floor easier to see and clean, but need appropriate wall support.
• Freestanding vanities transfer more load to the floor and can suit a wider range of wall conditions.
• Single, double, corner, tall and compact formats solve different storage and circulation needs.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Finished wall width and the intended cabinet height
• Door, drawer, shower-screen and bathroom-door clearances
• Hot, cold and waste rough-in positions
• Skirting, architraves, power points and wall projections

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Confirm whether the top, basin, waste and handles are included
• Check drawer cut-outs against the waste and pipework
• Match the cabinet with the intended top and basin configuration
• Confirm fixing points and wall support before installation

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Wipe spills promptly, keep cabinet edges dry and use gentle cleaners. Ventilate the room and follow the care instructions for the cabinet finish and selected top.

Frequently asked questions

Should I measure before or after tiling?

Use finished dimensions where possible and allow for tiles, skirting and wall variation.

Can plumbing be moved to suit the vanity?

Sometimes, but this adds work. Confirm options with a licensed plumber before ordering.

Are vanity tops always included?

No. Some products are cabinet-only or offer multiple top options, so check the inclusions carefully.
