Bathroom vanities

Floating vanities, wall-mount and weight-rated.

A floating vanity hangs from the wall. No floor contact, the bathroom reads as larger and the floor cleans faster. Crateworks supplies custom floating bathroom vanities in single or double basin, sized to the wall and weight-rated for the cabinet + stone + plumbing load.

Why floating: visual + functional

Visually, the bathroom floor reads continuous beneath the vanity, making small bathrooms appear larger. The exposed floor under the vanity also lets a recessed toe-light cast glow at night.

Functionally, floor cleaning is easier (no toe-kick to trap hair and dust) and the underside of the vanity stays dry in wet rooms.

Structural blocking: the install constraint

Floating vanities require structural blocking in the wall framing, typically a 2x10 or 2x12 horizontal blocking installed before drywall, sized to span the full vanity width. This blocking carries the cabinet + stone + basin + tap + water in the basin + occasional leaning user.

Confirm with the framer or general contractor BEFORE drywall goes in. Retrofitting blocking later means wall demo. The cabinet ships with a French cleat or wall-rail system that attaches to the blocking via lag screws.

Common questions

French cleat (interlocking angled rails) or steel wall bracket attached via lag screws into structural blocking inside the wall framing. The cleat or bracket is supplied with the vanity; the blocking and the install go through your contractor.
Standard spec: 2x10 or 2x12 horizontal blocking spanning the full vanity width, installed between studs before drywall. Mounted at a height matching the vanity hang point. Carries the cabinet + stone + basin + occasional leaning user, typically 300-500 lbs total load capacity per running foot.
Possible but requires opening the wall to install blocking. If the wall is already drywalled, a contractor will cut a horizontal section, install blocking, and patch. Easier to plan during framing.
Plumbing rough-in heights shift up. Drain stub-out and water supply stubs sit at the vanity bottom height, not standard floor-level. Specify the floating vanity early so the plumber roughs in at the correct heights.
10 to 14 weeks from approved order. Custom floating vanities take the same lead time as floor-mount versions; the structural mounting hardware is supplied with the cabinet.
