2000mm-2100mm Vanities

2000mm-2100mm Vanities Buying Guide

This collection holds extra-long vanities that reach 2100mm, all made to order by Australian maker Timberline. Ranges include Bargo, Carlo, Grange, Marshall, Taylor and the four Sutherland House fronts. They suit large main bathrooms and ensuites where two people share the bench or one person wants a long run of storage.

Will a 2100mm vanity fit a 2000mm wall?

No, a 2100mm vanity is too long for a 2000mm wall. Allow about 50mm to 100mm of clearance at each end so doors and drawers can open freely. For a 2000mm space, an 1800mm vanity is the better fit. A 2100mm vanity needs a wall of about 2200mm or more. Measure the wall at several heights before you order, as walls are often not square.

Should I choose a single or double basin at 2100mm?

A double basin suits a bathroom shared by two people, and at 2100mm each person gets a basin plus a generous stretch of bench. A single centre bowl suits one user who wants long bench space on both sides and simpler plumbing. The Taylor range also offers left or right offset basins. A double layout needs two wastes, two traps and two mixers, so decide before the walls are lined.

Which Timberline range should I choose?

The ranges differ mainly in door style and storage layout. Grange is all drawers with a 16mm framed surround. Bargo has a sleek fascia panel with doors and drawers. Carlo has deep soft-close drawers and bamboo storage trays. Marshall offers an above-counter or under-counter basin. Sutherland House comes in Regency, Farmhouse, Deco and Retro fronts with routed drawer panels, and suits Hamptons, heritage and mid-century styles. Options include drawer organisers, a secret inner drawer, cabinet lighting and a cabinet power point.

Wall hung or floor standing: which is better for a long vanity?

Both work at 2100mm, and the choice usually comes down to the wall and the plumbing. A wall hung vanity needs a support nog wider than the cabinet fitted between the studs before the wall is sheeted. A floor standing vanity takes the weight on a kick or legs and can hide waste pipes that come up through the floor, which makes it practical in an existing bathroom. Sutherland House and Taylor offer floor standing versions on legs.

What tops and basins are available?

Most vanities come with a 20mm SilkSurface solid surface top and gloss white ceramic basins, in colours such as Arctic White, Carrara, Calcutta Snow and Grigio Stone. Regal mineral composite tops are available on some Bargo, Grange and Carlo models. Plug and waste are not included. The tap hole count is set when the top is made, with none, one or three holes per basin, so choose your tapware first.

How deep and high are these vanities?

Most are about 460mm deep, and floor standing models are about 850mm high before the basin. Measure depth to the front of the top or basin, and allow 700mm to 750mm of clear floor in front. Painted finishes are two-pack polyurethane, and a samples box is available before you commit.
