1800mm Vanities Buying Guide
The width is only the start. The basin layout, the depth and the way the unit mounts decide whether a 1800mm vanity works in your room.
Who a 1800mm vanity suits
An 1800mm vanity suits a master ensuite, where a double basin gives each person their own zone. It needs a long, clear wall, so measure the full run, and allow for the door swing and any shower screen at the end.
Basin layouts at 1800mm
At 1800mm the double bowl is the most common layout, with centre, offset, left and right bowls also offered. A double bowl needs two sets of plumbing connections, and each basin needs enough bench beside it to be useful.
Check what is included
A vanity listing can mean a cabinet only, a cabinet with a top, or a cabinet with a top and basin, and the waste and tapware are usually separate. Read the inclusions on the product page before you compare prices. The tap hole position is set when the top is made, so choose your tapware first, or confirm the tap hole count, before you order.
Depth and clearance
Standard vanity depth is about 450mm to 500mm, and slimline units are shallower, at roughly 320mm to 400mm. Compact depth units are offered at 1800mm, so check the depth on the product when floor space is tight. Leave about 700mm to 750mm clear in front of the vanity so you can stand and move, and check that drawers and doors open fully without hitting the toilet, a shower screen or the bathroom door.
Supporting a wide wall hung unit
ADP's installation guide asks for the support noggin to be wider than the vanity, so an 1800mm wall hung unit needs framing across at least that length, planned before the wall is lined. It also asks for a plumb wall and a level floor, and for edges where the cabinet meets the wall or floor to be sealed with neutral cure silicone. A floor standing 1800mm vanity carries its weight on the floor instead.
Wall hung or floor standing
A wall hung 1800mm vanity leaves the floor visible beneath the cabinet and makes cleaning underneath easier. A wall hung unit needs solid fixing in the wall, which is easiest to arrange while the walls are open, so decide early in a renovation. A floor standing vanity carries its weight on the floor and can cover floor pipes, so the wall fixing is lighter, and it suits a room with finished walls. See wall hung vanities and freestanding vanities for the wider range in each style, and the bathroom vanity guide for the two side by side.
Drawers, doors or both
Drawers are the most common layout at 1800mm, many units combine doors and drawers, and doors only is the rarest. Drawers show everything at once and can be cut around the waste, while doors leave a taller open space for bulky items.
Finishes and styles
The range comes in white, woodgrain, black and grey, and many products come in more than one finish. The most common design styles are Japandi, Coastal and Traditional. For natural timber, see solid timber vanities, and for the lightest finish, white bathroom vanities. Fluted and curved fronts add texture and softer edges, and Hamptons vanities suit a classic room.
Made to order and pricing
Most vanities in this collection are made to order, and many are Australian made. Made to order gives you a choice of size, top or finish but a longer wait than a stocked item, so confirm the lead time on the product page before you book trades. Price depends on the top, finish and how the unit is made, so compare the full inclusions rather than the headline price. For a one-off size, see custom vanities.
Compare nearby sizes
If 1800mm is close but not right, compare the 1500mm and 2000mm to 2100mm collections, or browse vanities from 1000mm to 1800mm in one place. For a tight room, small vanities is the better filter.
Completing the room
Settle the basin and tapware before you finalise the vanity, because the tap hole layout and basin position decide the final configuration. Our basins, taps and mixers and mirrors are listed by type.
