You can always get a friend to help you out. And like we always say, it takes two to salsa shaving cabinet!

 

Wall Hung cabinet installation:

• Mark out the position on the wall of your bathroom for the shaving cabinet be it a rectangular or a round vanity mirror cabinet. It’s advisable to chose a spot that lines up with the centre point of the shaving cabinet.
• Within the outline of the cabinet, use a stud finder to work out where the wall studs are. Use a tape to mark that position on the back panel of the cabinet,
• Pre drill two pilot holes in the cabinet that are in line with the stud mark ups you just worked out. Get your friend to hold the cabinet while you mark the holes on the wall with a drill.
• Take away the wall hung shaving cabinet and drill through the tiles. Screw the cabinet onto the wall.

 

Ideal for: An already existing bathroom or when you’re in the mood to jazz it up a bit!

 

Recessed bathroom mirror cabinet installation:

• A recessed bathroom mirror cabinet cabinet requires a framed box inside the wall to fit the cabinet’s required dimensions on all the sides. This can be a rather involved job and can be done with the help of a professional.
• Incase it’s planned for an already existing wall, you must first open it up to see what is behind the surface. It’s advisable to get this done before you purchase the cabinet.
• The rescued cabinet cannot have obstructions behind it like plumbing supply lines, electrical wires and other studs. They must be rerouted prior to installation.
• Please note that venting pipes and load bearing frames can be nearly impossible to relocate. You’d probably have to go for a different location for the cabinet.

 

Ideal for: A recessed bath cabinet is perfect for a bathroom renovation project because it involves a considerable amount of construction already.

 

Is the installation process different for different shaving cabinet with lights?

Well, yes. For instance when it comes to wall mounted bathroom cabinets, they are mounted to the wall like the name implies. So for such cases the wall needs to be framed and reinforced first. Also, the installation process varies from one type to another. However, you do not need to worry because our bathroom cabinets come with a thorough installation guide to walk you through the process carefully along with a mounting template to help make the task at hand easier!

 

What is easier to install?

Recessed Shaving Cabinet	Wall Hung Shaving Cabinet

It is labour intensive and will probably involve a professional. It may also cost more.	It is easier to install because it doesn’t involve digging into a wall.
They meld with contemporary and traditional bathroom schemes.	Variety can be limited owing to the constraints of the design.
The shave cabinet mirror is a couple of inches farther away which can be challenging for some folks.	It’s easy to access and can be used by everyone irrespective of their age and height.

Wall hung cabinets are way more easier to install than recessed cabinets but they might take up your much valued space. Recessed cabinets likewise look great but may require more work than you initially bargained for.
