A mirror cabinet looks like a small item on a bathroom schedule until it has to sit over an off-centre basin, line up with wall tiling and hold the toiletries a household actually uses. That is why the Standard Mirror Cabinet is made to order rather than stocked in fixed widths: size, material and layout are specified for each project. This guide sets out what to send so the quotation you receive matches what will be manufactured and delivered.
What "standard" means in this product name
The word describes the format, not a fixed size. You are buying a mirror-front cabinet with enclosed storage, without integrated lighting and without the round or full-height formats elsewhere in the collection. If that is the look you want, the next step is deciding how the cabinet must work in your room.
Three things are specified per project: the size, the material and finish, and the internal layout. Everything below feeds into those three decisions.
Information to prepare before you ask for a price
Dimensions and clearances. Send the width and height of the wall area available, plus the height of the basin tap outlet and waste. Note anything that reduces clearance: a window architrave, a shower screen, a door swing, a towel rail or a light point above the mirror. A simple sketch with measurements is more useful than a photograph alone.
Mounting conditions. Tell us what is behind the wall — timber framing, brick, block or a plasterboard partition — and whether the cabinet will sit over a countertop or hang clear of it. This affects how the unit is fixed and whether additional support is needed.
Storage layout. List what goes inside: tall bottles, a hair dryer, medicine, spare linen. Shelves set close together suit cosmetics; taller compartments suit shampoo bottles. If you want an internal power point or shaver socket, say so in the enquiry so the specification can be confirmed for your market before production.
Finish and matching fittings. Send the cabinet-body colour or material you are working to, along with the finish of nearby taps, shower set and door handles. Matching a sample reference number is safer than describing a colour in words.
How your enquiry reaches us
Send your drawings and measurements through our contact page. For apartments, villas and guest bathrooms being fitted out together, we work from the room schedule rather than one item at a time. That keeps the body material, the finish and the fixing detail the same in every bathroom of the building, and gives you one specification to check instead of several.
If your project also needs joinery elsewhere, our custom built-in kitchen cabinets go through the same specification process, so finishes can be matched between the kitchen and the bathrooms. Mirror cabinets sit within a wider range of sanitary fixtures and interior fixtures, coordinated through one turnkey solution covering design, production, delivery and after-sales support.
What we send back, and what to check on it
Your quotation should show the overall size and the size of each compartment, the body and door material, the finish, the mirror type, the shelf arrangement and how the unit is fixed. Read those details before approving production, because changes after confirmation take time that a bathroom programme rarely allows.
Check three items on the paper: that the width clears every obstruction you measured; that the shelf heights match what you listed; and that the finish reference is written as a code, not a colour name. If your architect has issued a schedule, the quotation line should read the same way the schedule does.
Related options if the standard layout does not fit
Two variations solve problems that come up on site. A tall mirror cabinet adds storage where wall width is narrow, since it runs higher up the wall. Where the mirror itself provides the light over a vanity, an LED mirror cabinet is the version to specify; lighting and electrical details are confirmed for each project before manufacture.
A short checklist for your enquiry
- Wall width and height, with the position of the basin fittings and any obstruction
- Wall construction and how the cabinet will be fixed
- What goes inside, and at what heights you want shelves
- Cabinet body material and finish reference, plus the taps and handles it must match
- Quantity per bathroom type, and the room schedule if there is more than one bathroom
Send those five items and we can quote without another round of questions. Dimensions and selected specifications are confirmed with you for each project before production begins.
