Bathroom Vanities

Bathroom Vanities are cabinets built to hold built in sinks and your faucets. Most kitchen cabinet manufacturers will stock and sell these. Bathroom Vanities are mostly made from wood, giving them a warm look. Apart from that, wood is flexible to work with and can be veneered and lacquered for different kinds of finishes. The most common types of wood used is cherry, maple and oak. For the inside of the vanity cabinet, plywood is used, which in turn is covered by melamine or veneer.

One thing about wood bathroom vanities is, they need regular maintenance as wood reacts to damp and moisture. This necessitates ensuring that no plumbing leak is left unattended as it could damage and rot the wood.

The material it is made from and the finish used determines the cost of a bathroom vanity. If you have some experience with tools and enjoy do it yourself projects, you can install your bathroom vanity yourself. Installing a new bathroom vanity is an inexpensive way for a remodeling project without tearing up the walls. It only takes a day to do this. The process mainly involves shutting off the water supply, removing the old structures and the caulking used to finish. The right tools are of course necessary for proper fitting.

Bathroom vanities can be made of synthetic materials too. Often the cabinet is constructed from vinyl-coated particleboard. This can be economical. The rigidity of this material prevents warping and splitting. Care must be taken to ensure that the resin used to make the board is water resistant.

Tall bathroom vanities are the current trend. These sometimes have twin basins as well as spacious storage, so that you can use it along with someone else at the same time. You can also install more than one vanity in the same bath. Drawer space in these vanities can hold your hair curlers, dryers and other personal things. Behind the door storage is convenient for keeping paper towels, cleaning material, etc.

Bathroom vanities can be custom made, allowing you to design your own and choose the right material for you. You can also get some good designs that can be bought as a kit and assembled.
