Choosing the Right Material for Your Bath Vanity Cabinets and Your Bathroom Vanity
The choice of bath vanity cabinets and bathroom vanities are only as limited as your imagination. I have been amazed at the wide variety of styles and designs available for today’s bathroom renovations. The choice of materials for both the vanity cabinet and the vanity tops offer the consumer many different looks to fit your taste and your budget. Bathroom vanity designers continue to find innovative ways to use various materials creating exciting vanities for affordable prices. Bathroom vanity cabinets and surfaces are sold both as separate pieces and sets. This allows the consumer to customize the vanity. If your heart is set on a granite top but your budget is a little tight, matching a stone surface with a less expensive cabinet might be the perfect solution. If you’re trying to match a certain period or style of décor, a matched set might be the best way to go. Make sure to check on the materials being used and make sure they will work for your individual needs. 
Particleboard and fiberboard are often less expensive, but they are not as durable as other materials. They might be a good choice for a guest bathroom or ½ baths that don’t get a lot of traffic. Some materials do not stand up to high temperatures and moisture and are not recommended for full bathrooms with tubs or showers. Make sure to check manufacturer’s details and recommendations.Wood vanities come in different forms. Solid wood construction means the vanity cabinet is built with wood boards, not composite materials. Cabinets can be stained to change the color of the existing wood, or a veneer may be applied to the surface. A veneer is a thin layer of a specific type of wood attached to the base cabinet. A veneer can be applied to wood, synthetic or composite materials. Surface matters With Bath Vanity Cabinets
Vanity tops are made from wood, granite, marble, porcelain, glass or limestone. Granite surfaces are the best to prevent bacterial growth, but they are usually the most expensive. If you want a stone top, but granite is a bit too pricey, take a look at marble or limestone. Marble polishes nicely, but can chip or scratch and may not be a good choice for children or high traffic bathrooms. Glass surfaces have become very popular, but may need extra care. Porcelain tops are easy to clean and are often an affordable choice. Cabinets, Color, Styles for Bathrooms New! CommentsHave your say about what you just read! Leave me a comment in the box below. |
