Floating Vanity Installation in Longton
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A floating vanity in a Longton bathroom looks clean and makes cleaning under the unit easy — but a wall-hung unit fixed into plasterboard alone will pull away within a year. The install stands or falls on what's behind the tile.
We bond a 18mm plywood pattress into the wall build-up before boarding, fix the vanity into the pattress on rated hidden brackets, and offer LED plinth-underlighting for the wall-wash look this style is usually specified for.
What makes bathroom fitting in Longton different from a generic install is how we plan around the building it's going into.
