FAQs about Bathroom Furniture
Bathroom furniture set is a collection of utilities – e.g., a vanity unit, a washbasin, a toilet, a mirror cabinet, a shower, a bathtub, and a shower bench – that works together.
A furniture set offers a practical storage solution, maximising the usage of available space. Furniture sets are also visually appealing and present you with a range of design choices.
Our bathroom furniture collections consist of, but aren't limited to:
Vanity Units: Vanity units are usually topped with a basin or a countertop and provide great bathroom storage and eliminates the need for space for a separate basin with a pedestal and a storage unit. A stunning range of sizes, colours and designs are available, giving you complete control over your bathroom design.
There are floor standing versions, or wall mounted that give the illusion of floating. If you've got plenty of space to play with you could opt for a matching set of units or a double-sink vanity unit.
Combination Units: Our combination units are made up of a vanity unit with a basin and wc unit. These are great for smaller bathrooms, ensuites and cloakrooms where space is limited and are very popular in modern homes. As the pipework and cistern are out of view they add to the clean, minimalist, fuss free look while proving the perfect hiding place for your bathroom essentials and cleaning products.
Tall Units: If you're short on floor space, why not invest in a tall unit to use the vertical space. Tall cabinets are an excellent way of getting around space concerns. They are so versatile and can be used alone in a small bathroom or as part of a set if you have the space to use matching vanities and wc units.
Bathroom Cabinets: A bathroom cabinet is usually placed above a vanity and basin, making use of the unused space in that area. Usually with mirrored doors they serve 2 purposes, to provide a mirrored surface to use while carrying out your shaving or skincare routine, combined with providing valuable storage space for smaller bathroom essentials and medicines.
Corner bathroom cabinets are also available for those spaces that only have room for a corner vanity, of those who wish to add an extra touch to an overlooked area.
Bathroom furniture is made of mainly three types of materials:
Melamine Faced Chipboard (MFC)
Melamine Faced Chipboard, also known as melamine chipboard or conti-board, is made of woodchips and resin. High-quality melamine surface is bonded to chipboards on either side, giving the material a wood-like texture.
MFC is a cost-effective yet durable material.
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
Medium Density Fibreboard is made of small pieces of wood and composite fibres bonded tightly with resin or wax. The finished product is manufactured at high temperature and pressure.
Compared to other materials, MDF boards are competitively priced.
Solid Wood Solid woods such as white oak and teak are perfect for the bathroom environment. Solid wood furniture sets are insect-, warping-, and water-resistant.
While solid wood furniture sets are long-lasting, they can be expensive.
The following are the three main finishes of bathroom furniture:
Foil Wrapped
A foil-wrapped finish necessitates taking a base material and covering it with a paper-thin plastic foil. Both the base material and the foil are then set with heated adhesive.
Foil-wrapped furniture has a distinct contoured look.
Painted
Premium paints can provide a higher level of clarity and depth to your furniture compared to cheaper options. Expensive paints are also more moisture-resistant and last longer.
Acrylic
Acrylic finish is stylish and elegant. This finish is sprayed onto the furniture. The main feature of this reflective, high-gloss finish is its luxurious appeal.
Applying a single coat of high-gloss paint can protect bathroom furniture from water damage. Likewise, a thin coat of oil-based varnish can also prevent water absorption.
