How to Choose Between Custom & Prefabricated Bathroom Vanities

It’s difficult to decide which element of your bathroom is the most important, but whether your vanity is in the top three or the bottom three, you have an important choice to make: whether to install a custom or prefabricated vanity. Both options have their merits, and the right choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and design preferences. However, the kitchen and bath experts at Plumbing & Parts Home Centre in Whitby have some guidance to help you make the right choice of bathroom vanity for your new or renovated bathroom.

 

Custom Bathroom Vanities

Custom bathroom vanities allow you the opportunity to get exactly what you want and need for your new bathroom space. You can choose everything from the faucets to where the vanity meets the floor. However custom bathroom vanities have their advantages and disadvantages.


Advantages

o   Custom bathroom vanities offer a perfect fit that can maximize your bathroom's available space.

o   You have complete control over the final aesthetics, from the materials used, finishes, hardware, and overall style and quality.

o   You can customize drawer configurations and shelving to meet your storage needs.


Disadvantages

o   Custom bathroom vanities typically cost more than prefabricated ones.

o   They are not immediately, or even quickly, available.


Prefabricated Bathroom Vanities

The prefabricated bathroom vanities available in Whitby offer a more budget-friendly and convenient option for bathroom renovations. However, like their custom counterparts, they also have their pros and cons.


Advantages

o   Prefabricated bathroom vanities are generally more cost-effective and affordable than custom options.

o   They can be purchased prebuilt and ready to install, which prevents delays.

o   The installation is relatively quick and straightforward.

o   Our parts showroom has a wide selection of prefabricated bathroom vanities in a variety of styles and sizes that will complement the look and feel of many bathrooms.


Disadvantages

o   Despite their benefits, prefabricated bathroom vanities do have their limitations, and you will be limited to the sizes and styles that are available. This means they may not work in a uniquely shaped or sized space.
