Spent thousands of dollars to buy a bathroom cabinet with such problems, but it really sucks! If you don’t know how to pick, you’re at a big disadvantage!
So how exactly do you choose a bathroom cabinet?Let’s talk about it today~
01.
How is a bathroom cabinet made up?
First, the form of the bathroom cabinet
Bathroom cabinet style broadly divided into two kinds, like this one, the ceiling floor type, we call it “floor type”.
Floor-to-ceiling cabinets are large, with ample storage space, suitable for families with strong storage needs.
There are no perfect people, every cabinet is not necessarily perfect, there are advantages and disadvantages. Floor-to-ceiling bottoms are not ventilated, which can create some sanitary dead spots, and your worst fears of moisture and mold may come one by one.
In addition to floor-standing cabinets, it’s the hanging type! One is rooted in the earth and the other is close to the wall.
Its strengths:
- Lighter, space-saving, and slightly superior in value.
- Large space at the bottom, easy to clean, no sanitary corners.
- Away from the ground, even in the south, there is no fear of moisture invasion.
Disadvantages first of all in the installation, hanging type will be more trouble than the floor type, because it is the drainage of the wall row type.
In safety considerations, wall-mounted bathroom cabinets need to be installed in a load-bearing wall or thicker wall.
Also, hanging storage isn’t as powerful as floor-mounted, so if you have a big pile of stuff in your bathroom, we’d recommend floor-mounted!
Second, the material of the bathroom cabinet
It’s time to spar with each other’s strength, bathroom cabinet material is generally divided into solid wood, stainless steel, pvc three kinds of which is the most moisture-proof and most practical?
1. Solid wood
The texture is tough as Iron Man and belongs to the powerhouse of the durable school. In addition, solid wood is also more natural and earthy, and anyone who loves nature will love solid wood.
As for the disadvantages, it is very expensive. And the public’s choice of oak or rubberwood can’t completely avoid moisture problems.
2. Stainless steel material
Everyone should know the benefits of this material. Even if you continue to pour water on it for 24 hours, it will not mildew, rust, and its water resistance, no cabinet can match.
And compared to various kinds of wood, stainless steel is also not plagued by formaldehyde problems. But by the material restrictions, stainless steel bath cabinet body is thin, and simple shape. It is basically based on straight lines, so it does not look so good.
3. Pvc material
The surface is lubricated and does not easily stain. Its appearance is beautiful and versatile, so it is suitable for a variety of decoration styles.
Disadvantages are fragile, easily softened and deformed by high temperature, and the load-bearing capacity is not as solid wood and ceramic materials, chemical resistance is not strong.
Third, the structure of the bathroom cabinet
1. Full closed type
As the name implies, the cabinet door is completely closed. What it stores inside, outsiders can’t see at all, which is good for privacy.
2. Semi-closed
The open part of the cabinet can be used for frequently used items and is easier to access. But remember to put it neatly, no longer unbridled mess.
Fourth, the bathroom cabinet hardware
Homeowners should choose high quality hardware such as slow-closing mute door hinges, stainless steel corrosion-resistant door hinges, and buffer mute slide rails, and recognize domestic and foreign quality brands of hardware accessories. Avoid the use of low-quality accessories to ensure that the product is still durable in the wet bathroom environment.
After we understand the structure of the whole bathroom cabinet, how do we pick a quality bathroom cabinet.

And “silver mirror” in the same light refraction, “silver mirror” will be brighter, so the general high-end bathroom cabinet will use “silver mirror”. At the same time, the bathroom mirror still has an anti-fog function, the use of hot water will not affect the use of the bathroom mirror.
