The Arctis planning library

Choose the vanity. Plan the whole composition.

A vanity is more than a cabinet width. The basin, worktop, storage, plumbing and installation form must work together. Begin with the complete composition you want, then compare the exact dimensions and included components.

Compare the forms

Wall-hung

A cabinet supported by the wall, with floor space beneath.

Have the installer assess wall construction, the complete load and manufacturer-specified fixing method.

Floor-standing

A furniture form supported from the floor.

Check the product's securing requirements, level floor, skirting and service route. Floor-standing does not mean no wall fixing.

Cloakroom

A compact composition for a smaller room.

Compare depth and basin projection as well as width, then test the door and circulation clearances on the plan.

Countertop composition

A cabinet, worktop and basin arranged as a coordinated whole.

Confirm the exact compatible top, basin, tap position, waste and included components—not just their colour.

Width is only the first measurement

Measure the available wall width and the projection into the room. Use the exact cabinet and basin dimensions: a basin may extend beyond the furniture. Allow the doors or drawers to open without colliding with the WC, room door, towel rail or an adjacent unit.

For a double-basin composition, compare the full worktop, basin and cabinet layout. Do not assume two single basins can be combined on any wider unit. Where the configurator offers a complete set, inspect its included items and resolved product rather than improvising from sibling photographs.

Coordinate the furniture with the plumbing

Existing supply and waste positions can affect drawers, internal storage and installation. Ask your installer to compare these services with the chosen product's drawing before purchase. Do not cut furniture or relocate services on the strength of a generic dimension.

Wall-hung fixing instructions are specific to the product and wall construction. The Crosswater reference below illustrates a solid-wall installation; it is not approval for every substrate or for another manufacturer's unit. Have a competent installer confirm suitable support and fixings for the actual composition.

Select the purchase form, not just the photograph

Unit-only, complete vanity and countertop packages can be different governed outcomes. Read the selected title, included items and configured total. A basin, top or handle shown in a styled image may not be included in the chosen purchase form.

Use the collection's compatible additions for matching tall units, WC furniture, tops and basin choices where those links are provided. Similar width, supplier or finish is not enough to establish a compatible assembly.

Make finish choices deliberately

White, grey, anthracite, oak-toned and fluted finishes create different balances of light and texture. Choose from the governed finishes in the collection rather than assuming every width offers every colour. An oak finish does not by itself establish solid-oak construction.

Check the selected outcome's image and care guidance. Swatches help compare choices but do not guarantee colour under your lighting. For a coordinated room, compare the vanity with its approved matching pieces and request clarification where a finish or dimension is missing.
