The Ultimate Guide to Owning & Maintaining Your Vanity Unit

To ensure your vanity unit performs flawlessly and maintains its enduring quality, correct installation and regular care are essential. The following guidance has been crafted to help you achieve the best results from your new piece.


INSTALLATION TIPS

All vanity units must be installed onto finished surfaces by a fully qualified plumber.
You will need: electric drill, drill bit, tape measure, spirit level, pencil, bathroom-safe non-acidic silicone, screwdriver.

  • Measure the wall precisely to determine the correct placement of the vanity unit
  • When fitting a countertop basin to a stone surface, ensure it is fully siliconed and caulked once dry 
  • All fixing screws must secure through the wall into a horizontal noggin to guarantee a stable, long-lasting installation
  • Once installed, turn on the water supply and mixer tap to confirm that water flows freely into the basin



CLEANING & CARE

Regular cleaning is vital to protect the finish and preserve the luxury of your vanity unit. Each material type requires its own approach:


  • Clean at least once per week using a damp cloth and warm, soapy water
  • Stone basins should be cared for in the same way as the cabinet material
  • Marble basins or countertops require more delicate maintenance - wipe away any spillages immediately, as marble is naturally porous
  • Avoid scrubbing, instead use a mild, diluted cleaner with light pressure to protect the surface

DO'S AND DON'TS

✔ Clean weekly, rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth

✔ Use appropriate cleaning products, following instructions carefully

✔ Tend to any spillages immediately to prevent any staining or absorption

✗ 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 that may damage the surface.

✗ Avoid leaving heat-emitting appliances, such as hair dryers and straighteners, on units as they can cause permanent marks.
