No, the Ashford base unit is a storage cabinet. You will need to purchase a compatible basin and countertop separately.
This is a freestanding unit, designed to sit directly on the floor for maximum stability.
While the factory-applied finish is durable, painting the unit may void the warranty and require specialized primers for the matte finish.
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a second clean cloth to prevent streaks.
The Ashford range generally features standard hinges, but you can upgrade to soft-close dampers if desired.
Use L-brackets or internal fixing points to secure the unit to a wall stud to prevent tipping, especially if supporting a heavy basin.
Adjust the integrated hinge screws. Most hinges have three-way adjustment screws to move the door left, right, forward, or backward to realign it.
Check the floor level. Use plastic or wooden shims under the base to level the unit before securing it to the wall.
Immediately wipe dry. Ensure all seams are properly caulked with bathroom-grade silicone to prevent further moisture penetration.
For setup, ensure the bathroom floor is level before placement; if the floor is uneven, use shims to stabilize the unit to prevent door misalignment. Since this is a bathroom-specific unit, it is crucial to apply a high-quality silicone sealant around the edges where the unit meets the floor and wall to prevent water ingress. For care, clean the matte surfaces using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical solvents that could damage the finish. Ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup, which is the primary enemy of wooden bathroom furniture. Periodically check hinges to ensure doors remain square, tightening screws if they become loose due to normal operation.
