How to Choose a Waterproof Vanity

Bathroom vanity units play an integral role in any bathroom – in both its design and functionality, which is why many considerations should be made when selecting one. A bathroom vanity unit needs to look great, be practical, and serve you well. Thankfully, waterproof vanities tick these three boxes, leaving the decision to come down to design, size, and storage ultimately.

The quality of a bathroom vanity would usually be an essential factor, but this isn’t the case with waterproof vanities. We specifically designed our waterproof bathroom cabinets from PVC to withstand water and mould damage susceptible to standard bathroom cabinets. They’re 100% waterproof and will survive leaks and splashing water. As such, each comes with an impressive 15-year warranty.

The most waterproof material for a bathroom vanity is PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride). A waterproof bathroom vanity made from high-grade PVC board won’t absorb moisture, swell, or warp—making it ideal for humid or wet conditions.

To protect your vanity from water, choose a waterproof vanity unit made from materials like PVC that are designed to withstand moisture. Unlike timber or MDF, a PVC bathroom cabinet resists swelling and won’t delaminate. Good ventilation, sealing around the basin, and regular cleaning also help extend your vanity’s life.
