Wall Hung Vanities

What a Wall Hung Vanity Is and When It Suits Your Bathroom

A wall hung vanity suits a bathroom where the waste pipe comes out of the wall and the wall behind it is masonry or has timber noggins. Every cabinet on this page hangs entirely on the wall, from a 400mm powder room unit to an 1800mm double bowl, so those two checks come before style or colour.

Choose a wall hung vanity when:

• the waste and water pipes already come out of the wall, or you are renovating and can move them there
• you want the floor tiles to run under the cabinet in a small room
• the wall already has noggins, or can be opened to add them, to carry the cabinet, the top and a basin full of water

Look at freestanding instead when the waste comes up through the floor and you are replacing a vanity without retiling.

Wall Hung or Freestanding Vanity: Which Suits Your Plumbing?

A wall hung vanity needs a wall waste, while a freestanding vanity with a kickboard can sit over a floor waste and hide the pipe. Moving a floor waste into the wall means a plumber and usually new tiles, so check where your pipe comes out before you compare styles.

Noah is one range sold both ways. Compare the Noah 900mm wall hung vanity with the Noah 900mm freestanding vanity to keep the same gloss white cabinet whichever plumbing you have.

Wall Hung Vanity Sizes: Width, Depth and Cabinet Height

This wall hung range splits almost evenly by width: about half is 900mm wide or less, and about half is 1200mm to 1800mm. Standard cabinets in the models we checked are 450 to 500mm deep, and narrow models drop to 220 to 395mm, so measure depth as carefully as width.

Cabinet height also differs between ranges. In the models we checked it runs from 400mm (Estella) to 560mm (Hera), which changes how much fits in the drawers and how far the cabinet sits above the floor once the top height is set.

Which Wall Hung Vanity Fits Your Bathroom?

• If the room is a powder room or a tight ensuite, choose a 400 to 450mm model from our ensuite and slimline vanities.
• If the waste pipe sits to one side, choose a model with left or right hand drawers, such as Camden 750mm or 900mm, so the drawers clear the pipe.
• If two people use the basin at the same time, choose a 1500mm double bowl.
• If the vanity sits beside the shower or gets splashed every day, choose a PVC cabinet from our waterproof vanities.
• If the waste comes up through the floor and you are not retiling, choose a freestanding vanity instead.

Single or Double Bowl Wall Hung Vanities

Double bowl wall hung vanities start at 1200mm on this page, and about a fifth of the range has two basins. At 1200mm a single bowl usually leaves more usable bench on each side. 1500mm is the first width where each basin gets its own bench space, and 1800mm suits a main bathroom with two daily users.

A double bowl needs two wastes in the wall, so ask your plumber before you order if only one is there now. Compare single and double layouts at the same width on the 1500mm vanities page, or start with the Eden 1500mm single bowl in Prime Oak.

Wall Hung Vanity Materials and Finishes

The cabinet board decides how a wall hung vanity copes with water. About two-fifths of this range is PVC, which does not swell when wet. The rest is plywood, moisture-resistant MDF or stainless steel, and each needs slightly different care.

For the front style, about a third of the range has fluted fronts, about a quarter has Hampton shaker panels and about a quarter has curved ends. For warmer woodgrain tones, see our timber vanities. Clean any finish with a soft damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Warranty terms are listed on each product page.

Installing and Collecting Your Wall Hung Vanity

A wall hung vanity needs timber noggins or a masonry wall behind it, because the wall carries the cabinet, the top and a basin full of water. Many cabinets here are sold as cabinet only, so you choose a ceramic, solid surface or stone top when you order.

Our Sydney metro vanity installation covers the cabinet, top, tap and waste connections:

• Up to 900mm wide: $329
• 1200 to 1500mm, single bowl: $449
• 1200 to 1500mm, double bowl: $569
• Removing and disposing of your old vanity: $100 extra

We do not install 1800mm vanities. Prices can move slightly, and the checkout shows the final amount.

Pickup is free and needs no booking. Besides Sydney and Dandenong South, about 40 models can be collected from Rocklea, QLD, including Avalon, Polar, Riva, Rome Curve and Miami. To see a vanity before you order, call 0480 746 325 to book a viewing at a Sydney warehouse. Free metro delivery applies to orders over $2,000 in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, over $2,500 in Brisbane and Adelaide, and over $3,200 in Perth. To finish the wall, pick a shaving cabinet in the same width.
