A cabinet under the washbasin: veneer or lacquer?
A cabinet made to fit a wall-hung washbasin. How many drawers and how tall, veneer or lacquer in a RAL or NCS colour, and when the washbasin looks better without one.
A wall-hung washbasin can hang on its own, or stand over a cabinet. Because we make the washbasin to measure, we make the cabinet to its measure too: the same width and lined up with the edges of the ceramic, so together they look like a single piece of furniture.
Drawers and height
The cabinet has one or two drawers and is 30 to 60 cm high. Under a single washbasin the drawers sit one above the other; under a double, each basin has its own separate drawers.
One drawer is enough for everyday things; two leave room for towels and spares as well. You choose the height to the centimetre, so the cabinet can line up with the tiles, the mirror or other furniture in the bathroom.
Wood veneer
Fronts in wood veneer show the real grain of the wood. You can choose oak, light oak, bleached oak, ash, teak, walnut, smoked oak and anthracite. If you have another wood in mind, describe it under “Custom” in the configurator and we include it in the quote.
Wood sits well with warm ceramics such as travertine, or sets off a dark one such as Nero Marquina.
Lacquer in a colour you choose
We can lacquer the fronts in any colour from the RAL Classic or NCS charts, matte or satin. These are the charts joiners and kitchen makers lacquer to, so you can match the colour to other furniture in your home.
The configurator shows the twelve colours most chosen for bathrooms, and under “Other colour” you can enter any code. The colour on screen is approximate; the colour chart shows the true one.
When to leave it out
Without a cabinet the washbasin floats on the wall and the bathroom looks larger. The underside can be open, with the steel brackets in view, or closed with a ceramic panel. The waste pipe is then on show, so it is worth choosing a good-looking trap.
Weight
A cabinet and what is in it load the same wall brackets as the washbasin. So for larger designs with a cabinet we recommend the reinforced fixing, with a support rail along the wall. We match the fixing to your wall and confirm it when we measure.
In the configurator, add a cabinet, choose the drawers, the wood or the colour, and see it under your own washbasin in 3D.
