Bathroom Vanity Unit Buying Guide
Which bathroom vanity unit is right for you? If you’re not sure, then let
the expert team at Royal Bathrooms help you with our buying guide.
Below, our team has set out their top tips for buying the perfect bathroom
vanity unit for your home.
What is a bathroom vanity unit?
A bathroom vanity unit is a cabinet which typically sits beneath a sink in
a bathroom. It will feature one or two doors (or drawers) and will feature
shelving for the storage of items.
Bathroom vanity units can also be known as basin cabinets, bathroom basin
combination cabinets, bathroom sink cabinets, basin cabinet units or
vanity sink units.
They are typically used as a way of creating more storage space in a
bathroom, however they sometimes also serve an aesthetic purpose,
especially those models which hide the plumbing of the basin.
What types of bathroom vanity units are there?
When we say there are bathroom vanity units to suit almost any type of
bathroom, we really mean it.
There are several different styles of bathroom vanity units available.
We’ve outlined the most common types of bathroom vanity units below.
Floor standing vanity units
As their name suggests, floor standing vanity units are bathroom vanity
units which rest on the ground and are able to stand without any fixed
wall support.
Floor standing vanity units
not only hide the plumbing associated with the underneath of your bathroom
basin, but are also very practical, providing plenty of storage space.
Here at Royal Bathrooms, our floor standing vanity units are available in
different depths, widths and heights as well as a number of different
colours and finishes. You can also select different door, drawer and
shelving configurations.
Wall hung vanity units
Wall hung vanity units
(also known as wall-mounted vanity units) are attached directly to the
wall of the bathroom and enclose a basin.
As they are wall mounted, these types of vanity units have a clear space
underneath them. This helps to create an airy, spacious feel in your
bathroom.
However, given that they are wall hung with a space underneath, these
types of bathroom vanity units don’t have as much storage space as other
types of vanity units.
Like the other vanity units here at Royal Bathrooms, our wall hung vanity
units are available in different heights, depths and widths as well as
different colours and finishes.
Worktop vanity units
Worktop vanity units
(also known as worktop vanity units, countertop basin units and countertop
vanity units) are immensely practical, yet highly aesthetic, bathroom
vanity units.
Rather than ‘enclosing’ the basin, like other types of vanity unit,
worktop vanity units place the basin on a flat surface, with the main body
of the vanity unit being sat beneath.
Worktop vanity units generally feature one or two doors and drawers and
are available in a variety of colours and finishes.
Cloakroom vanity units
If you have a small, compact bathroom, then you may want to buy a
cloakroom vanity unit.
These slender vanity units are a great way of adding additional storage
when there is only a small amount of room beneath and around your basin.
Cloakroom vanity units may be compact, but they are just as attractive as
larger bathroom vanity units and are available in a variety of colours and
finishes.
What are bathroom vanity units made of?
Bathroom vanity units not only need to look attractive and fit in with the
overall decor of your bathroom, but they must also be able to withstand
moisture and splashes.
That’s why at Royal Bathrooms we manufacture all of our bathroom vanity
units from high-quality 18mm moisture-resistant melamine faced chipboard
(MFC).
Likewise, the basin sinks which accompany many of our bathroom vanity
units are manufactured from gloss ceramic, meaning they’ll last for years
whilst retaining their sleek look.
Many of our bathroom vanity units also come with guarantees (please see
individual product specifications for exact details).
