Recessed Bathroom Mirror Cabinet

This unit installs flush with the wall surface, combining a storage cabinet with a full‑length mirror door. The recessed configuration saves floor space while providing a seamless aesthetic suitable for wet environments.

Key Design Characteristics

The cabinet frame is fabricated from extruded aluminum alloy 6063‑T5 with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm, providing rigidity without excessive weight. The mirror door uses 4 mm thick tempered glass with a silver backing, meeting ANSI Z97.1 safety standards. Concealed European‑style hinges allow a 110° opening angle and are rated for 20 000 cycles.

Typical Specifications

Materials and Construction

The aluminum frame undergoes a clear anodic oxidation layer of 12 µm, enhancing corrosion resistance in humid conditions. Interior shelves are made from 6 mm thick melamine‑faced particle board, sealed with a moisture‑resistant edge band. All fasteners are stainless steel grade A2‑70 to prevent galvanic corrosion when combined with aluminum.

Installation and Mounting

Installation requires a framed opening matching the cabinet’s external dimensions plus a 6 mm clearance for shims and sealant. The unit is secured using four concealed brackets that attach to the studs behind the drywall, allowing load distribution of up to 15 kg per bracket. A silicone sealant bead of 3 mm diameter is applied around the perimeter to maintain the IP44 rating.

Applications

Recessed mirror cabinets are specified in hospitality guestrooms where floor space is at a premium and a clean, unobtrusive look is desired. In healthcare facilities, the IP44 rating and smooth surfaces support infection‑control protocols by minimizing crevets where pathogens can accumulate. Residential luxury bathrooms benefit from the integrated storage without sacrificing the visual openness of a frameless mirror.

Customization Options

Beyond size, customers may select from a range of finishes including brushed nickel, matte black, or powder‑coated RAL colors. Interior lighting can be added as a low‑profile LED strip with a color temperature of 4000 K and a dimmable driver. Optional accessories consist of a magnetic lock, adjustable glass shelves, and a built‑in shaver socket rated at 110‑240 V.

Quality Assurance

Each cabinet undergoes a functional test cycle of 5 000 open‑close operations to verify hinge durability. Water‑spray testing per IEC 60529 confirms the IP44 seal under 10 L/min nozzle pressure for 5 minutes. Visual inspection checks for mirror surface defects, ensuring a scratch‑free finish with a maximum permissible defect size of 0.5 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dimensions be customized to match existing wall studs?

Yes, the cabinet width and height can be adjusted in 50 mm increments to align with standard stud spacing, and a detailed shop drawing is provided before production.

What information is required for a quotation?

We need the desired external dimensions, finish selection, lighting preference, and any optional accessories. A rough wall opening sketch helps verify clearance requirements.

What materials are available for the frame?

The standard frame is extruded aluminum alloy 6063‑T5 with clear anodizing. Alternative marine‑grade aluminum or stainless steel frames are available upon request for highly corrosive environments.

How is quality inspected before shipment?

Each unit passes a 5 000‑cycle hinge test, IP44 water‑spray verification, and a visual inspection for glass and finish quality. A test report accompanies the shipment.

What packaging methods protect the mirror during transit?

Cabinets are packed in double‑wall corrugated cartons with corner protectors, and the mirror face is covered with a low‑tack polyethylene film. Edge foam guards prevent impact damage.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time ranges from 3 to 4 weeks after approval of final drawings, depending on finish and accessory complexity.
