Vanity top installation issue

Sep 05, 2007 8 Replies

I need to install a vanity top between two walls 37 3/4" apart. The closest vanity top I can find is 37". I was thinking of just getting a wider one and cutting it down but thought I might try to find some other possible solutions first. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance. K



What sort of vanity top? Granite or marble? Plastic?

Will you be tiling the walls after fitting? They may fill the 3/4".

What is the material of the vanity top? What is on the walls that the top will butt up against? Wallboard, Tile, or other? I was kinda confused when you said 'a wider one'. I think you meant a longer one.

If you can't find a ready-made top to fit the available space, you'll have to create a custom top.

You could use the 37" vanity and add 3/8" splash panels or trim on each end.

You could cut a plywood top to fit and apply your choice of sink and laminate (this is what we chose for our bathroom sinks).

You could have a counter custom cut out of marble, granite, corian, or some other solid surface material.

You could build up a base and tile the counter top before installing a sink.

You could even have custom concrete counters installed.
