Unfinished Bathroom Vanities
Unfinished bathroom vanities are the perfect way to customize a vanity for your bathroom without having to know how to build the entire vanity from scratch. The most common unfinished bathroom vanities tend to be frames crafted of some form of hardwood. The typically will not be stained, and be made of common woods such as maple, oak, cherry, pine or hickory. In most cases, the holes for hanging your doors will not be in place, as it is expected that you will be putting custom doors onto your vanity.
There will typically be a standard sized sink hole and faucet holes so you can select these parts of your vanity without having to drill the holes yourself. Often, you will have the choice between unfinished bathroom vanities designed for the addition of a surface, such as steel, marble or granite or for the hardwood being the counter's surface. If you are intending on adding a counter top to your unfinished bathroom vanities, you will want to ensure that your counter top leaves enough space for the sink and faucet holes. It is a common error that the counter top is too large, blocking the sink bowl from seating properly. Your sink needs to be compatible with both the interior space for the sink, as well as the uppermost surface.
As unfinished bathroom vanities are often unstained or painted, you will need to invest in the stain for the vanity, as well as the time. When you go to stain your unfinished bathroom vanities, you will want to do the staining in a room that is well ventilated. As the fumes from the stains can be overwhelming, you may want to wear a mask while you stain the wood. You should stain the wood before you add the counter tops or install the sink and faucet to prevent the stain from harming them. You should have the doors stained at the same time you stain the rest of the vanity so that you have identical colors between the main body and the doors of your unfinished bathroom vanities.
Once you are done the staining process, you will affix the doors to the frame, install the counter top, and move the vanity into your bathroom. At this point, you will install the plumbing, sink and faucet and add any finishing touches you may need to to your vanity.
You can acquire unfinished bathroom vanities from online stores or from your local retailers.
