Wall-Hung Vanity

A wall-hung vanity — also specified as a floating vanity — is a bathroom cabinet fixed to the wall with its underside clear of the floor. Nothing about the cabinet carries the load: the entire weight of the unit, the counter, the basin, the water in the bowl and any force a user applies to it is transferred into the wall through the fixings.

Everything that follows is therefore a wall question, not a cabinet question. The wall has to carry the load at the fixing positions — which means the build-up behind the tile has to be known, and suitable backing added where it is not. The fixing positions have to suit the cabinet — a double-basin unit concentrates more load further apart than a slim single unit. The layout has to allow for service access — supply and waste connections sit behind or beneath a floating cabinet, and they have to remain reachable.

Wall-hung units are normally specified across a whole project rather than a single room, so they are usually ordered together with the project's mirrors, basins and the rest of the sanitary ware scope.

• Slim-body floating vanity — a 200 mm body with open side shelving, for compact bathrooms and en-suites where depth is the binding constraint.
• Single-drawer floating vanity — one wide drawer under a counter, the format most often repeated across hotel and apartment bathrooms.
• Two-door and two-drawer wall-hung vanity — increased storage on the same wall-hung principle, for family bathrooms and serviced apartments.
• Fluted and reeded front vanity — wall-hung units with ribbed or arched front profiles where the frontage is part of the design intent.
• Double-basin wall-hung vanity — two vessel basins on a wide lit mirror, for master bathrooms and twin-occupancy rooms.
• Wall-hung vanity with side cabinet or mirror cabinet — the vanity supplied with a tall side cabinet or a two-door mirror cabinet as one set.

Body material, front profile, finish, basin type and mirror format are confirmed per model; the range spans twelve configurations across these groups.

1. Confirm the wall build-up first. Solid wall, stud and plasterboard take different fixings; a floating cabinet cannot be made safe by choosing a better cabinet, only by fixing into something that can carry the load.
2. Calculate the load at the fixing positions. Cabinet, counter, basin, water and user loading all transfer through the fixings, and a wide double-basin unit concentrates more load further apart than a slim single unit.
3. Confirm where the backing is. Where the wall cannot take the load at the intended position, add backing or move the unit — decided at specification stage, never on site.
4. Set the cabinet height and the mirror line together. Cabinet underside, counter height, mirror position and basin reach are one composition; setting them separately is what produces a mirror that does not line up with the basin.
5. Confirm the service access. Supply and waste connections sit behind or beneath a floating cabinet, so the arrangement has to allow the connections to be reached without dismantling the unit.
6. Confirm the destination market, and its certification requirement is fixed with the order. The cabinet body carries no sanitary ware certification of its own; where a unit takes a ceramic basin, that component's certification is confirmed per product.

• Floor line left clear — the whole floor area can be cleaned without moving furniture, which is why the format dominates hotel and healthcare bathrooms.
• Visual space — a cabinet that does not touch the floor makes a small bathroom read as larger, without changing the room's dimensions.
• Ergonomic counter height — the counter height is a free choice rather than a consequence of where the floor is, so it can be set to the users.
• Easy to keep clean beneath — no plinth to trap water or debris, and no skirting to work around.
• One composition with the mirror — cabinet, lit mirror and side cabinet supplied matched, so the wall reads as one designed element.
• Configured from slim to full width — from a 200 mm slim unit to a 1500 mm double-basin combination on the same wall-hung principle.

• Hotel and serviced-apartment bathrooms — the format most specified for guest bathrooms, because the clear floor simplifies daily cleaning between guests.
• Compact bathrooms and en-suites — where a slim-body unit recovers circulation space that a floor-standing cabinet would take.
• Master and twin-occupancy bathrooms — double-basin wall-hung units on a wide lit mirror.
• Healthcare and accessible bathrooms — clear floor beneath the unit for cleaning and for wheelchair footroom.
• Residential and apartment developments — repetitive bathrooms where the same unit and mounting detail are repeated across many rooms.

A wall-hung vanity is an assembly of cabinet body, counter, basin, mirror and hardware, brought together as one unit and fixed to the wall as one unit. The structural question is not the cabinet's construction but the interface between the cabinet's fixing points and the wall behind them.

Body material, front construction, counter and basin type, handle and runner hardware, and mirror format are confirmed per model, because the range covers slim single units and wide double-basin combinations, and the bodies and frontages differ across it. What is consistent is the mounting logic: the unit is specified from the wall outwards, and the backing required at the fixing positions is confirmed against the wall build-up before production.

Each order passes the same factory acceptance check before loading — appearance, surface integrity and dimensional accuracy — and the inspection record is issued with the shipping documents.

For repetitive-room projects, the same unit and the same mounting detail can be repeated across every room, which is what keeps installation consistent as the project completes.
