It’s essential that the maintenance, care and installation of your vanity unit is completed correctly to ensure that the vanity unit works seamlessly and prolongs its enduring quality. We’ve put together a guide on how to install your vanity unit and how to take care of it.
INSTALLATION TIPS
- All vanity units must be installed onto finished surfaces by a fully qualified plumber. What you will need: electric drill, drill bit, tape measure, spirit level, pencil, bathroom non-acidic silicone, screw driver.
- Measure on the wall exactly where the vanity unit will be placed.
- When installing a countertop basin on a stone top it must be siliconed on and caulked around the basin and stone top once dry.
- All fixing screws must fix through the wall into horizontal noggin to ensure the vanity is held securely.
- Check that the water is flowing freely into your basin area by turning on the water supply and mixer tap.
CLEANING AND CARE
Protecting and cleaning your vanity unit frequently is paramount to its longevity. To ensure you get the most luxurious experience out of your vanity unit it’s important to follow the correct aftercare. Depending on the material of the vanity unit each cleaning process will differ. To maintain its original immaculate state, our vanity units should be cleaned at least once a week with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. A selection of vanities are built with a stone basin that should be cared for the same way as the cabinet unit. Other designs feature marble tops or basins that require more intricate cleaning. It's important you tend to any spillages immediately as liquids can be absorbed easily into a marble surface, avoid scrubbing harshly and clean with mild diluted cleaner and light pressure.
DO'S AND DON'TS
✔ Clean at least once a week, rinsed with water and dried with a soft cloth.
✔ Cleaning products can be used following the correct instructions - avoid using on marble tops.
✔ Attend to spillages immediately.
✗ Do not use concentrated bleach, tar shampoo or scouring powders.
✗ Do not use acidic cleaners such as, vinegar and lemon juice.
✗ Never use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface.
✗ Avoid leaving heat appliances, such as hair dryers and straighteners, on units as this will leave marks.
