New bathroom vanity unit

[Ben565]

My current project is refurbishing our bathroom. The current pedestal sink is about 450mm deep and I want to replace this with a vanity unit and countertop sink.

Trouble is the majority of the vanity units are only around 390mm deep if that. I have a 380mm countertop basin so reckon I need around 430mm deep countertop.

Why are all the vanity units so shallow, am I missing something here ?

Could you not set it the required distance out from the wall then cover the end and gap with a clad on panel?
Ive just done the opposite as I wanted narrower which I made from a wall unit

Yes I did think that, and it may yet end up being done that way. Only possible complication is routing the waste.

Nice job in the pic

Thanks, whats the problem with the waste?

 

[Ben565]

Well, it's already going to be a little complicated.

Vanity is going to be 600mm wide, countertop 1000mm wide with the free end resting on a baton fixed to the wall. This gives both cupboard storage and a free space on the left for laundry basket.

The countertop sink is going dead centre. So the vanity is 600mm, and the waste is coming down around the 500mm mark.

So some modification of the vanity will be needed anyway. Just not sure if bringing the vanity forward will add any further complications. Or possibly make things easier.

Also not sure if I could get a clad on panel to match the finish of the cupboard. That end of it is going up against the bath though, so a bit of marine play could be used and then tiled where it shows.

Bringing forward leaves a service void at the back to play around with pipe runs?

It does.
