Here we answer some of the frequently asked questions regarding our custom timber vanities.
What if I want a custom timber vanity?
We love to bring our client's bathroom dreams to life! Aside from our portfolio range of modern timber vanities, we can create a custom piece from an inspo image or sketch for no additional cost. As our internal structures are also made to order, we can design and build your vanity around the required basin location.
Are your timber vanities sustainable?
To create our custom vanities we use either sustainably sourced new or reclaimed timber. We mainly use Australian timbers from Victoria such as Wormy Chestnut or Messmate. These timbers are locally sourced in Melbourne or Geelong to save travel miles and support small businesses in our local community. Aside from our standard range of vanities with melamine internals, we also create an eco range which is solid timber inside and out.
Are your timber vanities made in Australia?
All the timber vanity components are created by our team of furniture makers in Torquay, 90 minutes from Melbourne. The melamine internal structures are created by a cabinet maker also in Torquay and the stone tops are created in Geelong. The timber is sourced from timber yards in Melbourne or Geelong. All of our timbers other than American Oak and Walnut are Australian hardwoods.
Do you make a recycled timber vanity?
Yes, we are lucky to have a couple of fantastic local wood suppliers to make our recycled timber vanities. The reclaimed wood we can source is Messmate, Ironbark, Blackbutt and Jarrah. Click here for more information on our timber options.
What are the internals made from?
The internals for our standard line of vanities is created from white melamine. The eco line’s internals are created from timber to ensure that all elements are either recyclable or biodegradable at the end of the vanities life. Click here for more information on our internals options.
Is a timber vanity ok in a wet room?
Timber has been used to construct buildings and bridges for all of human existence. As long as the Osmo finish is correctly maintained, the surface remains stain and moisture-resistant. Follow the link for more information on the Osmo furniture finish here and the maintenance instructions here.
Can I have a stone top on my vanity?
All of our vanity designs can be altered to have a stone top. Our standard is the stone ambassador “pearl white” however you can select from the entire Stone Ambassador and caesarstone ranges. Additional charges do apply.
Can I have an undermount or semi-inset basin?
Yes, we can design your vanity around an undermount or semi-inset basin. This however adds lots of complexity to the piece.
1 - An undermount basin is not suitable for a vanity with a timber top. Water will collect in the join between the basin and top causing damage.
2 - There will need to be either a cupboard or false front drawer located under the undermount or semi-inset basin as it takes up all the usable space. This drawer or cupboard will need to be larger than the width of the basin to allow for internal structures on either side.
3- We will require a hard copy of the cutout template sent to our factory prior to the manufacturing of the piece. This template is required by the stone mason or our staff to complete the cutout accurately in the vanity top. We highly recommend that you check the template against your actual basin as we have found occasionally that it is not accurate. The other option is to have your basin sent to us or ordered at our local Reece store in Torquay.
