How to install a bathroom floor cabinet

One of the key factors and one of the most important components of a bathroom renovation is the proper use of space and of course this requires bathroom floor cabinets. These cabinets would help declutter the room by removing clutter. Many modern bathroom floor cabinets use oak or maple components.

Installing a bathroom floor is a fairly easy thing to do. Any homeowner can do it themselves as a DIY project by following a few very easy steps.

The first thing to do is turn off the water service to the sink fixture and disconnect the plumbing as well. If you don’t have shutoff valves, the main supply to the entire house must be shut off.

Many homeowners also use the time the water supply is off to install a new bathroom floor covering in addition to the bathroom floor cabinet. Installation can be done very quickly and typically takes several hours.

Accurate measurements of the space for your new bathroom floor cabinet is a vital step in making sure you’re getting a cabinet that will fit properly in the available space.

Take measurements of the location of the hot and cold plumbing lines, and then create marks for each, centered on the back area of ​​the vanity sink cabinet. After that, cut openings for each one making sure to leave some room to connect all the accessories later.

Set the bathroom floor cabinet in place, using the markings on the wall, make sure to check that they are solidly in place and level. If they are not level, you can use wooden wedges.

Secure it in place by running 3-inch screws through the nailer and into the wall stud. Then recheck your level again.
