When buying online for the first time, it’s common to wonder if the product will fit your space. At ZURE, we offer a range of items including tapware, basins, stone tops, and bathroom vanities, and the question "Will it fit?" is one we often hear. Here’s a quick guide to help you measure your space accurately and ensure your new items will fit perfectly.

Measuring for a Bathroom Vanity

To check if a bathroom vanity will fit your space, you’ll need to measure the following:
  • Height: Measure from the floor to the top of the vanity.
  • Width: Check the full width of the cabinet.
  • Depth: Measure the cabinet’s depth from front to back.
  • Stone Top Thickness: Don't forget to account for the thickness of the stone top.
  • Legs or Kickboards: For freestanding vanities, measure the height of any legs or kickboards.
Bathroom vanities typically come in standard sizes:
  • 600mm
  • 750mm
  • 900mm
  • 1000mm
  • 1200mm
  • 1500mm
  • and 1800mm.

Make sure to leave at least 30 inches (ideally 42 inches) of space in front of the vanity and a minimum of 15 inches between the toilet and the vanity or wall. Also, consider factors like the bathroom door, window placement, space for a mirror, and the position of the bath tub.

Measuring for Sinks, Taps, and Furniture

When fitting a bathroom sink or vanity unit, you’ll need to check the size of the waste hole and the tap hole to ensure compatibility.
  • Sink Waste Hole: Use a tape measure to confirm that the vanity’s waste hole is larger than the sink’s waste hole.
  • Tap Hole: Measure the diameter of the tap hole to ensure it matches your new tap. For instance, if the hole is 40mm, select a tap with a smaller base (e.g., 32mm).
When it comes to furniture, measuring your space follows a similar process. Start by measuring the length and width of the room, then check the doorways and hallways for any obstacles that could affect delivery.

For the piece of furniture, measure its height and width, ensuring it’s at least 4 inches smaller than the passage measurements. If you’re unsure, or if the measurements don’t seem quite right, consult a professional builder or tradesperson for assistance.
