For all those working in the trade and, indeed, homeowners, selecting a vanity unit can require balancing a variety of requirements with the desired finish.
Technical Fit & Style
Dimensions: Precise measurements of width, depth, and height are critical. City Plumbing offers everything from slim-depth units for tight en-suites to expansive 1200mm+ units for master suites.
Basin Configuration: At City Plumbing, you can choose integrated for a seamless, easy-clean finish, sit-on/countertop for a high-end boutique hotel look, or semi-recessed to maximise floor space while maintaining a full-sized bowl.
Installation: City Plumbing helps you save time on-site with pre-assembled units, or choose flat-pack for easier manoeuvring through tight properties.
Material & Durability
Construction: MFC provides a cost-effective, moisture-resistant solution, while MDF is the standard for premium painted finishes. Solid wood offers a luxury, natural aesthetic but requires careful sealing.
Finishes: Our varied options at CPS range from classic Gloss White and Grey to on-trend Matte Black and textured Wood Effects.
Basin Materials: Prioritise Ceramic for scratch resistance or Polymarble for sharp, modern lines and repairability.
Compatibility & Storage
Workflow: Consider your individual storage needs. For example, drawers offer better access to the back of the unit, while cupboards accommodate taller bottles.
The Full Suite: Ensure compatibility between the unit, taps, and wastes. Pair with matching mirrors and lighting for a unified design.
