U.S. Style Cabinet, Where You Go When You Want it Done Right

Vanity Cabinets

Vanity cabinets or CR cabinets are usually 20.5″ deep instead of 24″ deep like kitchen cabinets.  Why?  Because there are no appliances and that is plenty of room for a sink and faucet and it makes more room in a usually crowded CR.

If you want nice cabinets in a CR you have to be sure to keep the water under control.   Have a good shower door or curtain.  Make sure the floor drains to a drain so there isn’t water standing on the floor constantly.  Have a bathroom fan to run when taking those steamy hot and long showers.  If you do not do these things you need to stick with ceramic pedestal sinks and no cabinets at all!

Moisture resistant MDF is available and recommended for vanity cabinets.  It has to be ordered out of Manila so it is more expensive past the increased cost of the sheets.  The material companies locally only stock standard MDF and some coarse grades of marine plywood.

This is a nice double sink vanity with Fine Walnut laminate slab doors and nice large stainless steel pulls. The sinks are offset simply because there just was not enough room in the CR to provide enough length to the vanity cabinet.    One inch wide fillers are used against each wall to allow space for tile to be ended into, to allow for crooked or out of level walls, and to provide clearance for the drawers to pull out without hitting the walls or creating finger pinching narrow spaces.   These sinks are called vessel sinks, they sit right on top of the countertop.

Not a lot of room in the guest CR for a vanity cabinet but we were able to fit one drawer and one door on the left side for storage of supplies.

Here is a video of one of the vanity sets. 

These vanities cost 81,640 pesos for the cabinets and 2800 pesos to deliver and install in the Mabalacat area. Total cost was 84,440 for the three vanities in three CRs.

A nice sized vanity with enough width to center the sinks on the door handles and still have enough shoulder room for two users at once. The left end has an attached end panel. Plenty of drawers for storing cosmetics, shaving equipment, and the general inventory of a comfort room.
This is the mess during the installation part of the project. You can do your own installation or have your builder install the cabinets as long as they are familiar with frameless cabinet installation.
Before the granite tops were installed by the granite countertop company. Note the wide stretchers on the front and back top sides. Those keep the cabinets nice and stiff during transportation and installation. If you are using a drop in sink be sure and let us know, we can turn that sink cabinet stretcher vertical to prevent having to cut it out for the drop in sink.
