Bathroom Vanity Buying Guide - 2
We have learnt that we must clearly know what we need on last blog, such as the available space for bathroom vanity, styles and budget. After we have a clear requirements list, an explicit target, we should get to know the basic information of bathroom vanities, so questions about materials, crafts can be solved.
Sizes of Bathroom Vanities
Standard Sizes of Bathroom Vanities
Firstly, we should know that there are 2 kinds of bathroom vanities: single bathroom vanity and double bathroom vanity.
Standard Sizes (inches width):
For Single Bathroom Vanity: 24, 30, 36, 48
To choose a good size, you need to base it on the available space you measured, which I have mentioned on the last blog, small sizes are suitable for a space-limited bathroom and guest's bathroom. If space permits, bigger sizes are nice as well, larger storage space and better visual experience.
For Double Bathroom Vanity: 60, 72
Base Design of Bathroom Vanity
There are various types of mounting. But we can classify them into 2 most common types:
Wall-Mounted:
After a little bit troublesome installation, you will get a bathroom vanity which is simple and convenient for you to do cleaning and maintaining. But wall-mounting requires a solid wall to sustain, which you should concern before purchase.
Freestanding:
Comparing to wall-mounting, free standing bathroom vanities are much easily installed. it can be moved anytime you want to while wall-mounted bathroom vanities can only stay on the wall. But the dirt under the freestanding bathroom vanities is not easy to clean.
Materials
The materials of bathroom vanities are rather significant, which can directly affect the quality and usage. Here are some common materials for bathroom vanities.
Wood
Plywood: This material can welly resist water. Normal wood can't stand the wet condition in bathroom, which will definitely be cracked and damaged sooner. But plywood-made bathroom vanities can avoid this problem. Multi layers are glued together as the hardness is good. With natural wood grain, this material makes bathroom vanities more beautiful.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF): This kind of boards is carefully processed, which has better quality to resist water and pressure. Due to its flat surface, it can be decorated easily. After painting or waxing, it can be a nice material for bathroom vanity.
Metal
Most metal bathroom vanities are made of stainless steel. Obviously, stainless steel bathroom vanity has the advantages of waterproof and mildew proof. The style can be diversified, and the useful life is much longer than wooden bathroom vanities. But the stainless steel brings annoying cleaning work for fingerprints and water mark, which will somewhat affect the appearance.
Today's blog just ends here. We introduced the sizes and materials of part of bathroom vanities. Next blog, Bathroom Vanity Buying Guide - 3, will tell you how to choose a good basin for your bathroom vanity.
