Recessed Medicine Cabinet - framed or frameless
Comments (5)We have three frameless, recessed Robern med cabs, and are very happy with all three. We have 3 1/2-4" deep models in the guest bathroom and hall bathroom, and a 6" deep model in the MB. Our bathrooms are small as well (MB is the smallest, go figure!), so storage space was a concern for us as well. I love my 6" med cab--can fit a lot in there! Ours all have flat mirrors, because that was our preference. I think you would be fine with whichever one you choose--I don't think there is a hard and fast rule which type of mirror you can use with a traditional or contemporary or ultra modern bathroom. I've seen bathrooms of all types using a wide range of med cab styles and none ever looked out-of-place to me....See MoreRecessed medicine cabinet on outside wall - cold?
Comments (2)I have thin insulation between the medicine cabinet and the outside wall and have trim around the cabinet to make up the reduction in depth. It actually looks better than a completely recessed cabinet. The trim is painted the same color as the wall, but in another bathroom, I have trim that matches the vanity. That looks good, too....See Morehelp - can I recess surface mount medicine cabinets?
Comments (6)Thanks for your thoughts.fori, I think it will overwhelm, my DH doesn't and the salesperson at the bath/plumbing supply company tells me oversized cabinets are the style! It is a 10x10 bathroom, with a 78 inch vanity on one wall. The cabinets are 24x33, 5 1/2 in. deep...just seems way too big to me. I don't need the storage, we're having an antique-style linen closet built for the other wall that will have plenty of storage. pricklypearcactus, the "window framing" was just what our GC was going to do for our recessed cabinets in the other bathroom! I just wasn't sure if the construction of a wall mount would allow it to be recessed....guess we'll have to go look at them (we're keeping them stored at the supply co. until we're ready for them)....See Morerecessing medicine cabinet in concrete block walls??
Comments (6)Hate to say it, but you need to dump these guys, they have hacked up your load bearing wall, hacked up your cabinets, and are going to hack up whatever else they can get their hands on. Get your money back on the labor (easier said than done, may have to make a complaint to your state consumer protection office, and use small claims court), have them remake the cabinet parts they hacked up and then keep the cabinets and other materials and get someone else to install them. You will probably need the holes they cut to be filled in as well. https://www.usa.gov/consumer-complaints Concerning the medicine cabinet, that is a much larger hole than an outlet, but no person in their right mind should even think to recess either in a concrete block wall....See MoreRelated Professionals
