Floating Vanity Installation in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A floating vanity in a Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
Bathroom Fitting in Newcastle-under-Lyme isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.
