Grey Gloss Freestanding Bathroom Cabinet

A freestanding cabinet rests directly on the floor without wall mounting, providing flexibility for bathroom layouts where plumbing or tiling limits fixed installations. The gloss finish creates a non‑porous surface that resists water penetration and simplifies cleaning, while the grey tone offers a neutral backdrop that complements a wide range of fixture colors.

Design & Construction

The primary substrate is moisture‑resistant medium density fibreboard (MR‑MDF) with a nominal thickness of 18 mm, selected for its dimensional stability in humid environments. All panel edges receive a sealed PVC edge band (0.5 mm) to prevent moisture ingress at the cut faces. The gloss coating is a UV‑cured polyurethane applied in two passes, resulting in a surface gloss of approximately 85 GU measured at a 60° angle, which exceeds the typical 70 GU threshold for high‑gloss bathroom furniture.

• MR‑MDF density: 680 kg/m³ ± 10 kg/m³
• Edge seal width: 0.5 mm PVC, heat‑bonded
• Coating thickness: 40 µm dry film

Performance Characteristics

The cabinet meets EN 12087 class 2 water resistance, indicating it can withstand intermittent surface water exposure without swelling beyond 0.2 % thickness change after 24 h immersion. Shelves are supported by concealed metal brackets rated for a uniformly distributed load of 15 kg per shelf, with a safety factor of 1.5. Door hinges are soft‑close, providing a closing torque of 0.25 Nm to prevent impact damage.

Dimensional Options

Configuration	Width (mm)	Depth (mm)	Height (mm)	Internal Shelves	Max Load/Shelf (kg)
Single Door	500	350	800	1	15
Double Door	600	350	800	2	15
Tall Unit	400	350	1800	3	12

Installation & Integration

Adjustable leveling feet (±10 mm range) accommodate uneven floors while maintaining cabinet stability. A recessed rear panel provides 30 mm clearance for waste traps and supply pipes, eliminating the need for costly re‑routing. Although the unit is designed to stand alone, optional wall‑bracket kits (M6 screws, 50 mm embed) are available for seismic zones where additional restraint is required.

Quality Assurance

Incoming MR‑MDF is checked for thickness tolerance (±0.5 mm) and moisture content (< 8 %). After coating, gloss uniformity is verified across each panel using a gloss meter; any deviation > 5 GU triggers rework. Adhesion of the coating is assessed via a cross‑hatch test (ASTM D3359) requiring a minimum rating of 4B. Finished units undergo a 48‑hour humidity cycling test (30 % → 90 % RH at 25 °C) with post‑test inspection for delamination or blistering.

Customization Options

• Gloss level adjustable from 70 GU to 95 GU upon request
• Alternative colours: white, black, or custom RAL matches
• Handle styles: recessed pull, chrome bar, or touch‑latch
• Interior LED strip (12 V, 5 W/m) with motion sensor
• Additional interior accessories: pull‑out laundry basket, towel rack

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can dimensions be customized? Yes, width, depth and height can be adjusted in 10 mm increments within structural limits; consult engineering for feasibility.
• What information is required before quotation? Required details include desired overall dimensions, preferred gloss level, handle type, and any interior accessories.
• What materials are available? Standard substrate is MR‑MDF; marine‑grade plywood or solid core options are offered for extreme moisture exposure.
• How is quality inspected? Each unit receives dimensional check, gloss measurement, adhesion test, and humidity cycling as described above.
• What packaging methods are available? Units are packed in double‑wall corrugated cartons with corner protectors and optional palletizing for bulk orders.
• How are export shipments protected? Cartons are lined with moisture‑barrier film and secured with PET strapping; shock‑absorbing edge foam is added for long‑haul transit.
• What is the typical production lead time? Standard lead time is 3–4 weeks after drawing approval; expedited schedules are available for stock‑configurable items.
• How are samples arranged? Sample doors or full units can be shipped via express courier; charges are credited against the first order.
