Why More People Are Choosing Waterproof Furniture for Their Bathrooms?

Water and bathrooms go hand in hand. So when it comes to choosing bathroom furniture, it makes sense to choose something that's genuinely designed to cope with it.

That’s why 100% waterproof bathroom furniture is becoming such an appealing option, and why at Island Bathrooms, we now offer vanity units made from 100% waterproof PVC.

Rather than simply having a water-resistant coating, the furniture itself is made from PVC, giving you extra reassurance in a room where splashes, steam and wet floors are simply part of everyday life.

What makes PVC bathroom furniture different?

A lot of traditional bathroom furniture is manufactured using wood-based materials such as MDF or particleboard. These can perform perfectly well in a bathroom when properly finished and looked after, but prolonged exposure to water can potentially cause damage if moisture finds its way into the material.

PVC is different.

PVC doesn't absorb water in the same way as wood-based materials. That means the cabinet itself can be 100% waterproof, rather than relying solely on its outer finish to protect it from moisture.

For a bathroom, that's a pretty sensible advantage.

Made for bathrooms that actually get used

Beautiful bathrooms in photographs don't tend to have puddles on the floor, toothpaste around the basin or somebody opening a drawer with soaking wet hands.

Real bathrooms do.

Water gets splashed down the front of the vanity. Wet towels get dropped. Children turn bath time into something resembling a small water park. And occasionally somebody steps out of the shower without remembering the bathmat.

It's normal bathroom life.

Choosing a 100% waterproof PVC vanity unit means the furniture has been designed with that reality in mind.

Especially practical for floor standing furniture

We also offer waterproof PVC vanity units that are floor standing, which makes their waterproof construction particularly useful.

The base of a floor standing vanity sits at floor level - exactly where water from a shower, bath or cleaning can end up.

With conventional furniture, prolonged contact with water around the bottom of a cabinet is something you'll generally want to avoid. With a PVC cabinet, the material itself won't swell simply because it has come into contact with water.

That extra peace of mind is one of the biggest reasons we like PVC furniture for bathrooms.

Our 100% waterproof PVC vanity units at Island Bathrooms have a clean, contemporary appearance, with a variety of finishes and colours, useful drawers storage or practical doors with shelving inside, and a ceramic basin included.

They're available in different widths too, making them suitable for everything from a smaller en-suite or cloakroom to a family bathroom.

You get the look and storage you'd expect from a modern vanity unit, with the added benefit of a waterproof cabinet underneath.

Why we're offering waterproof PVC vanity units
at Island Bathrooms?

We spend a lot of time helping customers choose products for bathrooms that need to look good but, importantly, also need to work in everyday life.

And bathroom furniture is one of those purchases where what's underneath the finish can matter just as much as what you see on the outside.

That's why we've introduced 100% waterproof PVC bathroom furniture at Island Bathrooms.

It's simple: if you're putting furniture in one of the wettest rooms in your home, choosing a material that doesn't absorb water makes a lot of sense.
