Floating Vanity

last month

I'm looking to get floating vanity installed. Something like this. I'm getting quotes from $3,500- $5,000 in Houston to moved plumbing to wall mount faucet and fabricate this sink.

Are there any other alternatives? I can't find any vanity tops without predrilled holes. I would liek to have the wall mount faucet but flexible on the vanity.

I think that’s reasonable. We bought a wall hung vanity (not in stone) without the faucet hole from Porcelanosa (in Houston) so we could wall mount the faucet.

a custom top, if it's as small as shown, should be reasonable.

I think the plumbing $ sounds high, even in the city. how far are you moving the lines?

Thanks Joseph. Thats helpful. Just to sake of clarity, I am not worried about the brackets but about the middle stud that has a drain pipe already running through it. I am assuming based on your answer thats a common practice and gives me confidence!

I’ve used Hafele LED tape lights and a sensor the size of the end of a ball point pen, and it works just fine. Not battery operated. A real install. You need a plug and driver. Placed near the wall, under the vanity, it’s invisible.

How to protect reclaimed wood for floating vanity w/o amber color
Q
Comments (0)
We would like to use reclaimed wood for a floating vanity in our basement powder room similar to the photo below. We visited a reclaimed lumber and architectural Salvage yard and found a piece of wood that would work for our desired 36 inch x 22 vanity top (it could be less than 22). However, when the owner showed us how lightly sanding and applying tung oil which he recommended looked, we no longer liked the color. It was very dark with orange/amber tones. We loved the way the wood looked without the oil but we know it needs to be protected from water stains, etc. I feel like I am at ground zero again and my contractor will need something from me ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is it the marble you want for the vanity that is holding up the process ? Why a wall mount faucet ? Sometimes they work in tiny space but honestly you can order wall hung vanities without counters then add your own counter and a deck mounted faucet . I guess I need a bit more info. I have down many Ikea Godmorgon wall hung vanities with customer choice counters with and without deck faucets.

That is super cheap for what you are showing. The cost of the wall to be reframed absolutely square, plus the plumbing moving, and the plumbing fixtures, plus the cost of a stone fabricator and installation, would be much nearer 10—15K for even a small vanity like thst.

How long could a wall-mount faucet leak before one noticed? How much damage could it cause? How does one repair or replace a wall-mount faucet?

Thank you so much for the info everyone.

I wanted quartz countertop.. the ready made ones all have pre drilled holes. I can’t find anyone that has a remnant and have to buy the whole slab. Finding the quartz piece is holding up the process.

That is unrealistically inexpensive.

Replace the drywall behind the vanity with 3/4" plywood. Screw the vertical members of an IKEA cabinet to the plywood, put a top on it with a vessel sink and call it good please. That's what your getting in that budget range.
