Bathroom Solutions Installation Planning Guide
You can easily design and install your own custom bathroom following our easy instructions:
- Measure the length of the bathroom area where your vanities will be installed.
- Measure the distance from the center line of the existing plumbing to the wall.
- Next - select the style of vanity you want by viewing those in your dealer's showroom
or in the vanities section of this web site.
- Now the fun begins - you design the bathroom of your choice. Depending on the area
you have to work with, you can literally mix and match cabinets, drawer banks,
linen cabinet or a suspended drawer unit in any grouping that is your personal
choice.
- Don't forget a matching medicine cabinet, toilet topper or over the john cabinet and accessories.
Measuring and Designing Your Bathroom
Lets assume that the length of your bathroom is 82-½" long and that
the centerline from the faucet to the right wall is 32-¼". You would like
to have a lot of drawer space and a linen cabinet for storage
and you have selected the Bayview Series cabinet
in a Natural Oak finish, and the cabinets
are 21" deep - Now the rest is easy!
Mix and match component sizes until you come up with a total dimension
that is the same as the wall dimension or one that is a few inches less - as an example:
- (B2721-NO) Bayview cabinet with 2 doors - 27" wide by 21" deep, and would
be centered at the centerline of the plumbing fixture.
- (B-DB1821-NO) Bayview Drawer Bank - (two banks) 18" wide by 21" deep,
with one to the left and one to the right of the above cabinet.
- (BLC1821-NO-HL) Bayview Linen Cabinet - Hinged left - 18" wide by 21" deep
which would go next to the drawer bank of the left.
The total dimension of the above four components is 81". The difference
of 1-½" can be filled
with a Filler Strip and a Trim Strip (if necessary). Our dealer's
salesman will help with the final details.
If additional cabinet height is desired, we suggest building a frame using 2 x 3's
(1½" wide x 2½" high).

Installation Instructions
- Pre-drill six 3/16" holes through face frame of drawer bank.
- Clamp face frame of drawer bank and cabinet together (be sure to protect the finish).
- Use #8 flathead wood screws 2½" long to secure the cabinets and filler strip together (TIP - dip screws in
soap or wax to make driving screws easier).
- After positioning the cabinets against the wall, shim and level as required, locate studs in wall
and secure cabinets to wall with screws through the back brace of cabinet.
- Cut toe kick plate to size and attach.
