Bathroom Furniture

There is not one right answer for this, as it often depends on the size and layout of the room. Most people would generally go for the largest unit that would fit sensibly into the room.

Mark out the available space on the floor and consider drawing around the elements you want to put in, to get a sense of how dominant the unit might be. You want something big enough to store everything you want but also something that won’t take over the whole space.

Many of them are as the basin is designed to fit inside the unit. However, on units that require countertop basins or similar, we don’t provide them as the choice of basin will be specific to the design of the room. This gives you complete flexibility over design, shape and colour.

Except for a couple of specifically designed units, no it’s not waterproof.

Most modern bathroom furniture is made in a similar way to kitchen cabinets, an MDF core which is wrapped with a laminate or similar, finishing product. This creates a surface that water can sit on but should not be left on for any length of time.

Many units have points where water can ingress, usually the same points where they join to the wall or basin, these need to be sealed with a waterproof sealant upon installation. If they are not, and water is left standing around these areas, then water will be absorbed by the core material and expand over time.

This is true for any modern bathroom furniture and care should be taken when maintaining them.

We do have a range of furniture made from an entirely waterproof composite material for when this is an issue.
