Recently, we discussed how recent tariffs that are being imposed against China could soon force manufacturers to raise prices on bathroom vanities and other related products. Because of this, homeowners planning a bathroom renovation — or even a relatively minor upgrade — should make their purchases now, rather than wait and let themselves get hit by more expensive prices in the near future.

As part of that article, we also highlighted some of our top bathroom vanity brands: Stufurhome, Bosconi, and KubeBath. But these three brands are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the product selection we offer at Kitchen & Bath Authority!

With over 40 bathroom vanity brands available, you will have no trouble finding a model that meets your design preferences and budget. Here is a closer look at some of our most popular brands and why they are worth checking out.

Fresca Bathroom Vanities

For those wishing to bring a contemporary look to their bathroom, few brands can compete with Fresca. Offering a great variety of both free-standing and wall-mounted bathroom vanities, Fresca products make use of a unique mix of materials and designs to help you cultivate a modern look.

For example, the Fresca FVN3318ES Contento 48 Inch Espresso Modern Bathroom Vanity With Mirror features a tempered glass basin and countertop mounted above a solid wood frame cabinet with three soft close doors. This distinctive design also provides convenient cubby hole storage underneath the countertop. The slight octagonal shape of the vanity also provides more storage space than a traditional rectangular cabinet.

The Fresca FVN1019 Ovale 24 Inch Modern Glass Bathroom Vanity W/Frosted Edge Mirror also features a clear glass basin, but further adds to its chic design with a jewel tone chrome stand. A stainless steel finish provides an undeniably contemporary look to this pedestal-style vanity that is ideally suited for a half-bath. 

The approach to contemporary style isn’t merely limited to material selection and design — with Fresca, you can also give your bathroom vanity a bold splash of color. The Fresca FVN5092OR Energia 36 Inch Orange Modern Bathroom Vanity With Three Panel Folding Mirror uses a bright orange color on both the vanity and mirror to make its simple design stand out. Select cabinets are also available in red or yellow to give your bathroom a distinctive character that helps showcase your personality and penchant for unique decor.

Of course, your contemporary bathroom vanity doesn’t have to make such a bold statement. Pieces like the Fresca FB9148RW-I Tuscany 48 Inch Rosewood Free Standing Modern Bathroom Cabinet With Integrated Sink pair a simple contemporary design with a natural-looking Rosewood finish. The result is a minimalist bathroom vanity that won’t look out of place alongside other wood pieces.

Other more natural bathroom vanity options include the Fresca FVN62-361236LO-VSL Torino 83.5 Inch Light Oak Modern Double Sink Bathroom Vanity W/Side Cabinet & Vessel Sinks, which features a light-toned oak finish to balance out frosted glass door panels and ceramic sink bowls. The combination of modern design elements and a traditional finish make it a great fit for many bathrooms.

When purchasing a Fresca bathroom vanity, you aren’t limited to a single pre-determined faucet. Several vanity faucet selections are available for each model, allowing you to more fully customize your new installation to achieve the exact desired look and functionality for your unit.

Robern Bathroom Vanities

Robern is another popular contemporary bathroom vanity brand that continues to innovate in ways that improve the look of the entire bathroom. Robern was founded in 1968 with an emphasis on cabinetry. As the brand has grown and evolved over time, its offerings grew to include modular cabinet and lighting solutions, and finally in 2010, its own line of bathroom vanities.

With so many decades of industry experience, continued innovation has come easy to the design of its products — including bathroom vanities. Even more importantly, this experience ensures that Robern’s manufacturers understand which design features will have the greatest impact for style, functionality, and durability.

Robern’s emphasis on modular design allows homeowners to create a custom, one of a kind bathroom vanity installation. For example, the Robern VM12H1D21F10L Cartesian 12 W x 7-1/2 H x 21 3/4 D Inch Slim Vanity Side Unit With Full Drawer And Night Light can be ganged or stacked with other units to create a full-size vanity that perfectly fits your space. Options such as slim drawer inserts or a full drawer insert with glass bins allows for even greater storage customization. 

By determining the dimensions of the vanity that you need and evaluating your own bathroom storage needs, you can mix and match modular vanity pieces for the perfect result. Better still, many Robern vanity units come with a built-in night light that will make it easier to navigate the bathroom or use the vanity at night.

Of course, you don’t have to design your own bathroom vanity from the ground up to experience the many benefits of Robern products. Pre-manufactured single sink vanities are also available to make it easier to give your bathroom a modern touch. However, these pieces still offer some level of customization to ensure you don’t get a cookie-cutter look.

For example, the Robern 30119400TB00003 Cartesian 30 Inch Three Drawer Decorative Glass Vanity In Tinted Gray Mirror With Engineered Stone Vanity Top In Silestone Lyra and Night Light pairs high-quality glass finishes with gorgeous engineered stone to create a durable, yet gorgeous vanity. Buyers can customize their piece by choosing from three sizes and color combinations, as well as optional add-on features like an LED night light or in-drawer electrical outlets.

This same level of customization is also found in products like the Robern VB42H2D21P10N71 Balletto 42 W x 15 H Inch Single Drawer Vanity With Plumbing Drawer. All buyers will enjoy the stiletto-style chrome legs and minimalist contemporary design with hidden side storage areas. However, the vanity can be further customized with add-on features like a hidden literature side storage insert, hidden cotton side storage insert, or in-drawer electrical outlets. Thirteen color/finish options allow you to choose the style that will best match your current decor — or help set the bathroom vanity apart as the room’s visual centerpiece.

With Robern bathroom vanities, you get much more than a sleek, contemporary style. You ultimately have the opportunity to fully customize your installation to create a one of a kind look that will stand apart from everyone else.

James Martin Bathroom Vanities

If you’re interested in a more traditional design, a James Martin bathroom vanity is the perfect choice. With over 17 years in business, the managers and owners of James Martin utilize over 120 years of combined industry experience to bring traditional elegance to modern bathroom vanities.

Each of the 20 bathroom vanity series available from James Martin includes several different models and sizes to help homeowners and even hotels find the perfect traditional look. Their handcrafted products are made with carefully selected North American hardwoods, resulting in gorgeous and unique cabinets that are built to stand the test of time.

Because each James Martin bathroom vanity is handcrafted, the final products are truly distinct from one another. For example, though two versions of the James Martin 147-114-5681 Brookfield 60 Inch Double Cabinet, Warm Cherry would look similar to one another, the human touch applied during manufacturing would give each one subtle differences that help them stand apart.

This same level of uniqueness also applies to James Martin countertops. Available countertop surfaces like marble and granite are quarried from natural stone, giving each countertop its own distinctive colors and veining. If you prefer a more uniform look, quartz and easy to maintain solid surface acrylics are also available.

Many James Martin product lines combine both traditional and contemporary design elements to create a truly timeless piece. For example, the James Martin 650-V60D-BNM-2GLB Brittany 60 Inch Burnished Mahogany Double Vanity With 2cm Galala Beige Marble Stone Top features less ornamentation than most traditional designs, but utilizes tapered legs and other subtle traditional design elements to craft a transitional look.

Other bathroom vanity models fully embrace a traditional appearance. The James Martin 150-V48-ANW Balmoral 48 Inch Single Vanity Cabinet, Antique Walnut uses traditional design elements like square paw feet and intricately carved doors and a matching backsplash. The James Martin 238-104-V26-DRF Savannah 26 Inch Single Vanity Cabinet, Driftwood is perfectly suited for a beach house or cabin getaway with its rustic shutter-style design and driftwood finish.

Despite their traditional design, James Martin bathroom vanities incorporate modern design practices to ensure even better results. Premium finishes ensure moisture and UV resistance, while the use of Grade A hardwood further improves durability. Each bathroom vanity is backed by a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty to protect you from any defects with the material or workmanship.

Fresca vs. Robern Vanities — What You Should Know

When it comes to combining functionality and style, few bathroom features get the job done quite like a vanity. Whether you need some extra space for storing towels, toilet paper, and other bathroom necessities or a simple pedestal to support your sink, there are countless bathroom vanity styles available.

Two of the biggest bathroom vanity brands on the market today are Fresca and Robern. While both brands are extremely popular, homeowners may find themselves wondering which option will be best for their needs.

Robern is an American brand that was founded in 1968. What started with railing designs quickly spread to cabinetry, a background that made the transition to designing bathroom vanities and medicine cabinets that much easier. Fresca is a Chinese brand that has gained popularity in recent years thanks in large part to the sheer variety of vanities that it produces.

The good news is you can’t really go wrong with either option. Both Fresca and Robern produce high-quality products that are built to deliver quality performance for many years to come. However, understanding the different features and styles available from each brand will help you determine which one best matches your preferences.

Here is a closer look at some of the key attributes of Fresca and Robern vanities. 

Theme

Do you prefer a sleek, contemporary design or something more traditional? The general appearance of a bathroom vanity is typically one of the first features most homeowners will consider when making their selection.

Fresca vanities are available in contemporary/modern styles, as well as traditional/classic and transitional styles. Robern vanities, on the other hand, are almost entirely focused on helping you create a contemporary/modern look for your home.

So what do these “themes” mean? A contemporary or modern vanity utilizes design elements from the late 19th century to today. There is an emphasis on functionality over intricate design, so you won’t see intricate carvings or patterns inlaid in the vanity itself. Instead, a contemporary or modern vanity will have flat, smooth surfaces. A modern vanity will typically have a square or rectangular shape with hard, straight edges. Contemporary vanities tend to be more rounded, taking on a curved half-circle appearance.

Examples of modern vanities include the Robern VF60PDCNPWM V14 60 Inch Vanity W/Center Sink & Plumbing and the Fresca FCB8430WH-I Valencia 30 Inch Glossy White Free Standing Bathroom Vanity.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are traditional bathroom vanities. As HGTV explains, “Traditional bathroom vanities are generally thought of as maintaining the old-world European feel of ‘furniture-style’ vanities. This means that they often feature an ornate design with delicately carved tabletops, intricate molding, and elegant hardware. Drawers or cabinets are common, and the most commonly employed material is classic, solid hardwood. Colors run the gamut, but many traditional bathroom vanities use common tones like whites, beiges and other light, airy colors.”

Traditional vanities are often designed to look more like a dresser or another piece of furniture. Great examples of this style from Fresca include the Fresca FCB2305GR-I Manchester 30 Inch Grady Traditional Bathroom Vanity and the Fresca FVN2302WH-CMB Hartford 24 Inch White Traditional Bathroom Vanity.

Finally, there are transitional vanities. As you might expect, transitional vanities fall somewhere in between traditional and modern styles. Design elements may be more subdued than in a traditional vanity, but not to the point of being as sleek and seamless as a modern vanity. Once again, Fresca is the brand of choice if you are interested in a transitional vanity. The Fresca FCB31-3030ACA Formosa 58 Inch Wall Hung Double Sink is a great example of this style.

Colors and Materials

The right color or finish — as well as the materials used in construction — will further define the look and aesthetic of your bathroom vanity. Both Robern and Fresca models offer a diverse range of color options to help you match your vanity to existing bathroom decor or add a splash of color. Finish options include blacks, browns, chromes, whites, yellows, reds, and even glass.

Thanks to its emphasis on modern and contemporary styles, Robern vanities come in a slightly larger range of colors, with blues, gold tones, and patterns also available.

Of course, a key part of the color and finish of the bathroom vanity are the materials used to construct the vanity base. As previously noted, the traditional vanities from Fresca are generally constructed from wood, though contemporary styles such as the Fresca FVN1019 Ovale 24 Inch Modern Glass Bathroom Vanity W/Frosted Edge Mirror combine a glass basin with a jewel tone chrome stand.

Robern offers even more unique finishes. For example, the Robern VF24TDCNPA7320 Adorn II 24 Inch Vanity is primarily built from aluminum. This material choice doesn’t just create a unique modern aesthetic for your bathroom. It also maximizes the durability of the vanity thanks to aluminum’s moisture and corrosion-resistant properties. Other material choices include wood veneers, which utilize a stylish, moisture-resistant finish.

Countertop materials are another important point of consideration. Most Robern vanities come with a standard stone countertop. However, many vanities, such as the Robern VM36H1D21P10N Cartesian 36-1/8 W x 7-1/2 H x 21-3/4 D Inch Slim Drawer Vanity With Plumbing Drawer, don’t come with a pre-installed countertop. Instead, buyers select from Robern’s line of countertops to complete their vanity. While some might find it inconvenient to purchase a vanity countertop separately, this can give you greater control over the final design of your vanity.

Robern vanity tops are available in a wide array of materials and styles. Stone, glass, and engineered stone designs ensure that you can get the exact custom look you desire, including modern white or black countertops.

While Fresca offers a greater variety of countertop materials, there is generally less flexibility toward fully customizing your countertop. For example, the Fresca FVN2260AC Kingston 60 Inch Antique Coffee Double Sink Traditional Bathroom Vanity With Mirrors comes with a gorgeous marble countertop. However, other countertop materials aren’t available for this model.

This isn’t a bad thing at all — just something to consider as you try to find the right style. With available countertop materials ranging from resin and acrylic to ceramic and quartz, the Fresca line gives you plenty of options to choose from so you can find the right match for your tastes and budget.

Cabinet Type

Another factor to consider when deciding between a Robern and Fresca bathroom vanity is the type of vanity you need. Bathroom vanities come in one of three styles: free-standing (or cabinet-style), wall-mounted, and pedestal.

Both Fresca and Robern offer a wide range of free-standing and wall-mounted vanities. Free-standing vanities typically use either a legged furniture design or a kick plate to create a solid look that also offers more storage space. Examples of free-standing vanities include the Robern VB42H2D21P10N71 Balletto 42 W x 15 H Inch Single Drawer Vanity With Plumbing Drawer and the Fresca FVN2302BL-CMB Hartford 24 Inch Black Traditional Bathroom Vanity.

Some free-standing Fresca and Robern vanities also utilize an open shelving space below the standard pull-out drawers to create a more airy feel for the bathroom. Generally speaking, free-standing models are most common in traditional vanities, though many modern vanities also follow this design pattern.

Wall-mounted vanities are especially common in contemporary and transitional designs. These vanities are mounted to the wall, leaving an open area between the vanity and the floor. Vanities such as the Fresca FCB31-123612ACA-CWH-U Formosa 60 Inch Wall Hung Single Sink Modern Bathroom Cabinet or the Robern 30119400TB00003 Cartesian 30 Inch Three Drawer Decorative Glass Vanity help evoke a sleek, modern style that helps the bathroom feel more spacious.

While a wall-mounted vanity can lend a great modern touch, it is important to remember that these models typically can’t support as much weight as a free-standing vanity. If you have young children who like to climb on the countertops, you may want to consider a free-standing vanity instead.

While both Robern and Fresca offer a fantastic selection of free-standing and wall-mounted vanities, only Fresca offers smaller pedestal vanities. Perfect for half-bathrooms where space is extremely limited, pedestal vanities forgo many features such as storage drawers. Instead, the sink is paired with an attractive pedestal base to conserve space. Examples include the Fresca FVN1053 Vitale 16.5 Inch Modern Glass Bathroom Vanity W/Miror and the Fresca FVN5023WH Parma 24 Inch White Pedestal Sink W/Medicine Cabinet.

While a pedestal vanity likely won’t be ideal for a master suite, it is a great option for bathrooms where space is at a premium.

Added Features

A base cabinet is expected for practically any non-pedestal bathroom vanity. But Robern and Fresca vanities both have additional options that could make all the difference for homeowners trying to maximize the functionality of their bathroom.

One feature that is offered by select Robern and Fresca models is a night light. Whether you need help navigating the bathroom at night or some extra lighting for working through your morning routine, this feature can prove surprisingly useful. LED lights are available with models like the Robern 24219100TB00001 Cartesian 24 Inch Decorative Glass Vanity or the compatible mirror for the Fresca FPVN7832CB Platinum Due 32 Inch Glossy Cobalt Bathroom Vanity.

Each brand also has unique additional features that are available for certain models. For example, the Robern VB30H1D21P10N71 Balletto 30 W x 7-1/2 H Inch Slim Vanity Base Unit With Plumbing Drawer comes with an organization kit featuring adjustable drawer dividers. This allows users to further customize their bathroom storage. This same model also features several hidden storage options that make it easy to keep items organized and out of sight. This may seem like a minor addition, but it goes a long way in creating a cleaner appearance for the bathroom.

Other Robern vanities feature side kits that allow for a slight extension of the vanity width for an even more luxurious design.

Fresca bathroom vanities also come with a wide array of available features to give homeowners more options for how they decorate and organize their bathroom. For example, the Fresca FVN62-3612GO-VSL Torino 48 Inch Gray Oak Modern Bathroom Vanity W/Side Cabinet & Vessel Sink utilizes a linen side cabinet with three extra drawers to provide more storage space. Open shelving underneath the standard drawers of other vanities also creates more versatile storage.

Many Fresca bathroom vanities also come paired with a matching mirror or medicine cabinet to further complete the look and functionality of your bathroom. The included medicine cabinet can be especially useful for smaller pedestal-style vanities, allowing homeowners to still enjoy additional storage space in their bathroom when a full-size vanity simply wouldn’t fit.

While an included medicine cabinet or mirror can create the perfect stylistic match for a Fresca medicine cabinet, this additional feature isn’t always necessary. If you love your current bathroom mirrors, an extra mirror would likely be nothing more than a waste of money! Of course, there are plenty of Fresca and Robern models available without mirrors and medicine cabinets, and both brands offer a variety of standalone mirrors and medicine cabinets to better match your preferences.

Warranty Information

Another factor prospective buyers may wish to consider is the warranty offered by each company. Though professional installation should prevent most problems, having a quality warranty can provide much-needed peace of mind should an issue arise with your new bathroom vanity.

Robern offers a limited one-year warranty on all its products. This warranty addresses significant material and workmanship defects. The brand will repair or replace defective vanities as necessary, though the customer is typically responsible for installation costs. Certain “operating components” — like the opening devices and hinges found in vanity drawers — have warranty coverage beyond the initial year.

Fresca offers a three-year limited warranty to address workmanship or material defects, including all bathroom vanity parts and finishes. Fresca provides customers with any parts needed for repairs or replacements. It should be noted that this warranty coverage is only valid if your vanity is installed by a licensed professional.

With both warranties, damage caused by product abuse, using improper cleaning products, or poor installation will not be covered by the company. This also includes any attempts at DIY repairs using your own non-branded parts. 

If you are concerned about the possibility of future maintenance issues, you should carefully review the warranty information for your product of choice so you will not be denied coverage. Paying for professional installation now could help you save money in the long run.

Which Brand Should You Get?

Ultimately, the decision of whether to get a Robern or Fresca bathroom vanity comes down to your personal tastes and the needs of your bathroom. If you are remodeling a small hallway half-bath, a pedestal vanity from Fresca will likely be your best option. If you are upgrading your master bathroom, however, you can choose pretty much whichever Fresca or Robern vanity will best fit your space and usage needs.

You should also consider how you plan to use your bathroom on a daily basis. For example, if both you and your spouse will be getting ready in the morning at the same time, you will likely benefit from a vanity with additional counter space or even double sinks. Be aware of how much storage space you will need from your vanity, while also being mindful of the options provided by medicine cabinets, shelving, and other available storage options.

The location of your current plumbing outlets will also affect the size and style of vanity that will work best for your bathroom. Getting precise measurements of the available height, width, and depth will help you narrow your search to the Robern or Fresca vanity that is best suited for your layout.

It will also be helpful to consider the rest of the decor in your bathroom. For example, if you are in the process of remodeling your entire bathroom and are using Robern products for other fixtures, selecting a Robern bathroom vanity will help you create a more cohesive, unified design.

Even if you are not remodeling your entire bathroom, you should take the current design features of your bathroom into consideration when choosing between Fresca and Robern vanities. You don’t want your new vanity to stick out like a sore thumb! Choose a style that will be a good match for your current fixtures and decor.

Robern has long been associated with providing some of the most luxurious, upscale bathroom products available on the market. As we’ve noted in previous articles, one of the best examples of this comes from the new Uplift Tech medicine cabinet line.

Building on the design principles first introduced with the company’s Uplift cabinets, core features such as USB charging ports, innovative handle and door design, and lighted options make the Uplift Tech line a truly versatile option that fits well in almost any modern bathroom.

Perhaps the most distinctive element of a Uplift Tech medicine cabinet is the door, which opens vertically and holds in position, rather than swinging outward like a standard medicine cabinet door. This feature not only offers a stylish alternative for your bathroom; it also helps you conserve space with a more convenient opening mechanism.

A wide range of sizes and available features ensures that there is an Uplift Tech cabinet perfectly suited for your needs, no matter which bathroom you are currently thinking of upgrading. Here is a closer look at the models currently available in this line through Kitchen & Bath Authority.

Robern UC24276FPNE0N Uplift Tech 24 Inch Non-Lit, Non-Electric Cabinet: The smallest and least expensive of the Uplift Tech models, the UC24276FPNE0N is designed with urban spaces in mind. After all, just because you have limited space, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on great style and functionality.

This cabinet size is available exclusively in a non-electric package. However, it still utilizes high-quality materials to deliver great functionality. A mirrored interior ensures that opening the door won’t eliminate your ability to check your reflection. Three adjustable glass shelves, as well as optional glass storage bins, make it easy to customize your bathroom storage as needed. 

For further customization in installation, this cabinet can be surface mounted, recessed, or semi-recessed, ensuring that it can fit almost anywhere.

Robern UC30276FPNE0N Uplift Tech 30 Inch Non-Lit, Non-Electric Cabinet: If you have a little more space available for a medicine cabinet, the UC30276FPNE0N cabinet offers a convenient — though still affordable — upgrade. You won’t find special lighting or electrical features in this cabinet, but you will find a host of minor improvements over its smaller counterpart.

Most notably, this model offers six adjustable glass shelves. One-inch adjustable increments give you plenty of options for configuring the cabinet’s interior. As with all other Uplift Tech models, this cabinet utilizes durable anodized aluminum and glass materials to prevents rust and corrosion. The glass has been salt spray tested to ensure that it meets the ASTM Standard.

Stylish and functional, this cabinet is well-suited for the rigors of daily bathroom use.

Robern UC30276FPNE2N Uplift Tech 30 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric: The smallest Uplift Tech model to feature electrical integration highlights just how much of a difference these upgrades can make.

This electric cabinet model features an E2 Electric column. This column includes two USB ports in addition to three 120VAC power outlets. This setup is perfect for charging an electric razor, providing power to a hair dryer, or even recharging your smartphone. 

The UC30276FPNE2N cabinet also features a lighted mirrored interior. The interior lighting turns on and off automatically based on whether the door is open or closed. A warm, low-wattage light makes it easier to find bathroom essentials when the room is still dark.

Robern UC30276FPNE4N Uplift Tech 30 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: You don’t have to upgrade all the way to a model with perimeter lighting to enjoy some of the most exciting features available from an Uplift Tech cabinet. The addition of a night light and defogger make the UC30276FPNE4N a great option for your bathroom.

The Uplift Tech night light can be programmed in 12 hour increments, providing a soft light to illuminate the bathroom. This feature is perfect for guiding your steps on a midnight bathroom trip or making it easier to find items in the medicine cabinet.

This cabinet’s defogging tech ensures that you can enjoy a clear reflection the moment you get out of the shower. The Uplift Tech defogger utilizes a 45-minute timer, and is activated with a simple button press. No need to wait for steam to clear out before you can see your reflection.

Robern UC30276RP3E2N Uplift Tech 30 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric: The combination of perimeter lighting and electrical connectivity makes the UC30276RP3E2N the part of an ideal setup for getting ready in the morning.

The perimeter lighting on Uplift Tech medicine cabinets utilizes energy efficient LEDs to create a warm, relaxing tone. This LED setup is perfect for task lighting, with flicker-free dimming options allowing you to adjust the lighting from full capacity down to a mere one percent. The system’s standard dimmer works flawlessly with your home’s existing wiring, making it easy to find the perfect brightness for any task.

Robern UC30276RP3E4N Uplift Tech 30 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: For those who want every feature the Uplift Tech line has to offer but are still relatively constrained with their available space, the UC30276RP3E4N medicine cabinet is the perfect option.

With this Uplift Tech medicine cabinet, you get all the features that make this line a true revolution in bathroom design. Adjustable perimeter lighting, cantilever shelving with adjustable glass shelves, an E4 electric column featuring USB ports and 120VAC outlets, a night light, and a mirror defogger result in a cabinet that is both stylish and functional.

With the addition of a surface mounting kit or semi-recessed kit, you can install this medicine cabinet in any configuration you desire and still enjoy a great look.

Robern UC36276FPNE2N Uplift Tech 36 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric: With a width of 36 inches, the UC3627FPNE2N is ideally suited for those who want a little extra mirror space in their bathroom. As with other Uplift Tech Electric models, this cabinet utilizes two USB outlets and three 120VAC outlets so you can power your items.

Another key attribute of this and other Uplift Tech models is its modular design. With the assistance of a ganging kit, you can link multiple medicine cabinets together to further expand bathroom functionality. This option is great for creating a “his and hers” medicine cabinet setup, giving you and your partner the ability to adjust your bathroom storage as you see fit.

Robern UC36276FPNE4N Uplift Tech 36 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: The 36-inch line of Uplift Tech cabinets gets a few extra upgrades with the UC36276FPNE4N model, with a night light and defogger making this cabinet perfect for either a master suite or a child’s bathroom.

The night light is housed within the bottom handle of the medicine cabinet, ensuring that this additional feature doesn’t clutter up the cabinet’s clean look. A small, subtle button enables users to turn the light on or off without interfering with the system’s timed program.

Similarly, the defogging device is controlled with the push of a button. The cabinet utilizes a subtle LED indicator light so you know when this feature has been activated. The use of a built-in 45-minute timer ensures that it will shut off automatically if you forget to turn this feature off yourself.

Robern UC36276RP3E2N Uplift Tech 36 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric: The combination of perimeter lighting and an E2 electric column greatly enhances the functionality of the UC36276RP3E2N Uplift Tech cabinet. A mirrored interior and adjustable shelving ensure that you won’t have any trouble getting through your morning routine.

The use of LED lights for the cabinet’s perimeter task lighting greatly enhances the energy efficiency of this medicine cabinet. The LED lighting has an estimated lifespan of 53,000 hours — or over 6 years of continuous lighting. Needless to say, these long-lasting bulbs won’t need to be replaced for quite a while.

Robern UC36276RP3E4N Uplift Tech 36 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: An E4 Electric column, defogging technology, perimeter lighting, and a night light combine to ensure that the UC36276RP3E4N medicine cabinet delivers the maximum in modern features.

This medicine cabinet’s functionality is further enhanced by its impressive durability. Uplift Tech medicine cabinets are built with glass and rust-free anodized aluminum to ensure that they will stand up to the rigors of damp, humid environments. Uplift Tech cabinets are ETL/UL Certified so you can have confidence that they will provide safe, reliable performance in damp conditions.

With this strong background, you can have confidence that your Uplift Tech cabinet is built to stand the test of time.

Robern UC48276FPNE2N Uplift Tech 48 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric: If you have a larger bathroom counter space, you’ll want a larger medicine cabinet to go with it — and the UC48276FPNE2N fits the bill. At 48 inches wide, this medicine cabinet’s adjustable cantilever shelving is sure to provide plenty of storage space for your bathroom essentials.

Of course, Uplift Tech cabinets are about much more than functionality. They also aim to bring a distinctive modern style to your bathroom. This is one area where you shouldn’t have to compromise, even if your bathroom layout requires that you use a surface mount or semi-recessed installation.

To give your cabinet a complete look in any installation style, side kits and top and bottom kits are available for non-recessed installations. These easy to install kits give your cabinet a stylish finished look on all visible surfaces.

Robern UC48276FPNE4N Uplift Tech 48 Inch Non-Lit Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: Added features like a night light and defogger further enhance the convenience that comes from having a medicine cabinet with a fully functional electric column. However, many of the best features of an Uplift Tech cabinet are also the most simple.

This cabinet line’s vertical opening door is the perfect example of how Robern seeks to innovate in the bathroom space. Because the door opens up instead of out, it is easier for recessed cabinets to be installed behind the faucet. The door is further enhanced with a position-hold system that locks the door in place until you need to close it again.

A comfortable handle allows you to open the door with as few as two fingers, ensuring that you won’t smudge the mirror as you lift the door into position.

Robern UC48276RP3E2N Uplift Tech 48 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric: The adjustable perimeter lighting featured in the UC48276RP3E2N is perfectly suited for matching your various bathroom activities. This lighting can also enhance the unique finish you choose for your Uplift Tech medicine cabinet.

While Robern Uplift Tech medicine cabinets come with a standard handle finish of anodized aluminum, additional options allow you to match with other fixtures and finishes in your bathroom. Other finish options include matte black, chrome, matte gold, and polished nickel. With five distinct finishes to choose from, you’ll have no trouble coordinating with the rest of your bathroom decor to create a unified look.

Robern UC48276RP3E4N Uplift Tech 48 Inch Perimeter Light Cabinet With Electric, Night Light and Defogger: As the largest model in the Uplift Tech line that also includes all available high-tech features, the UC48276RP3E4N creates the ultimate bathroom experience. The large rectangular mirror allows multiple people to check their reflection at the same time.

While you can certainly use the cabinet’s built-in control options for the perimeter lighting, defogger, and night light, a versatile design allows for even greater adaptation to your lifestyle. Each of these components can be hardwired your residential electrical supply. This allows the night light and defogger to be operated with standard power switches. The task lighting can also be controlled through residential dimmers.

Such versatility defines the entire mindset behind the Uplift Tech line. With the ability to choose the size and features in the configuration that best fits your need, you will enjoy the ultimate in style and functionality.

Find the Right Model

One thing that becomes clear with this overview of the Uplift Tech line is that there are plenty of options available. So how can you determine which model will be the best fit for your bathroom?

Perhaps the best attributes to consider are your bathroom’s size and layout, as well as how you plan to use the bathroom. Start by carefully measuring the bathroom wall above the countertop/sink so you know how much space is available. 

If you are replacing an old medicine cabinet, it may be easiest to simply measure its dimensions and choose a replacement with the same width (for reference, all Uplift Tech cabinets are 27 inches tall and 7 and 1/8 inches deep). 

It may also be helpful to measure the width of your bathroom countertop so you can select a cabinet size that will be a good match.

Your bathroom habits can also help you determine which features are a must-have. For example, a child’s bathroom could especially benefit from a night light — something that some adults may find unnecessary. If your bathroom already has quality ventilation that keeps fogged mirrors from becoming a problem, a defogger may not be necessary, either.

Ultimately, it is up to you to determine which features are must-haves and which ones you can do without. One thing is certain, however: the addition of an electrical column can streamline any morning routine, whether you need to use a hair dryer or simply wish to use your phone to listen to your favorite playlist.

Other Installation Considerations

If you are replacing a pre-existing medicine cabinet, the installation of a Robern Uplift Tech cabinet will likely be much easier. However, the inclusion of key electrical features can add a new dimension to this bathroom upgrade. Be mindful of whether you will need to enlist the help of an electrician to ensure that the new cabinet is safely and properly wired (especially if connecting it to light switches).

When installing a brand new cabinet, you will need to be aware of the space behind the wall. Checking for obstructions such as pipes or electrical wire could very well determine if your new cabinet should be surface-mounted or can be recessed in the wall. Locating studs will also be important in facilitating the installation of your new Robern Uplift Tech cabinet. 

Make Your Pick!

The bathroom may not be the first place you think of when planning to make technology-infused upgrades to your home, but as the Robern Uplift Tech lineup reveals, there’s no reason why this part of the house should be left behind.

With an innovative vertical-opening design, key electrical upgrades, and a classy modern style, a Robern Uplift Tech medicine cabinet is sure to be a dynamic statement piece of your new and improved bathroom.

What You Should Know About Robern Uplift Tech Cabinets

Posted on by

We’ve written before about the amazing combination of luxury and functionality that you will find in any of the medicine cabinets available from Robern. But pf the many cabinet lines this luxury designer has to offer, few showcase the brand’s ability to transform your bathroom into a gorgeous, modern retreat like Uplift Tech cabinets.

Robern has helped homeowners redesign their bathrooms since 1968, continually offering sleek, cutting edge designs that are further enhanced by superior craftsmanship and quality. The brand’s legacy has been cemented over the years as a premiere designer of luxury bathroom cabinets, vanities, mirrors, and lighting.

First launched in 2009, the distinctive Uplift medicine cabinets have further solidified Robern’s place in the world of luxury bathroom design. Now branded as Uplift Tech, the unique design of these cabinets can completely transform your bathroom, and is something that needs to be experienced first-hand.

So what is it that makes Robern Uplift Tech cabinets so special? Here is a closer look at the features that help these bathroom medicine cabinets stand out from the rest.

Sleek Design

No matter which Robern Uplift Tech model you ultimately choose, there are key design elements that each model shares to ensure that you get an upscale bathroom experience. 

It starts by ensuring that the materials used to construct these cabinets will deliver the performance you need. The glass for these medicine cabinets has been salt spray tested to ensure that it meets ASTM standards. The cabinet frame is constructed from anodized aluminum, allowing it to meet ETL/UL certification requirements for damp locations. You can have confidence that continued exposure to moist, humid conditions won’t cause warping, rusting, or other forms of material deterioration.

The most unique element of Robern Uplift Tech cabinets is their vertical opening style. These space-saving doors slide up rather than swinging out for a distinctly modern look that also enhances bathroom functionality. A lightweight anodized aluminum handle allows users to open the door with two fingers. A position-hold door-opening mechanism keeps the door locked in place while you access your bathroom items. The vertical-open doesn’t just cultivate a modern look. It also improves the overall functionality and accessibility of the cabinet.

The handle allows you to gently lift the cabinet door without touching the mirror, making it easier to keep this part of your medicine cabinet free of smudges. Each cabinet in the Robern Uplift Tech line also includes cantilever shelving with adjustable glass shelves. Adjustments at one or two-inch increments (depending on the model) make it easy to customize your storage space to better suit your needs.

Each Robern Uplift Tech cabinet also includes an interior mirror. This way, even when the door is open, you can check your reflection as you access toiletries and go through your morning routine.

Robern Uplift Tech cabinets are meant to match your available space and design preferences. The cabinets can be mounted fully recessed, semi-recessed, or as a surface mount for whichever look you prefer. Modular design options allow homeowners to gauge cabinets to install additional Robern components to their bathroom setup. Such features make it easy to customize your bathroom design to perfectly match your planned design, regardless of which Uplift Tech model you choose.

Additional Options

Not everyone wants a fully recessed cabinet, but a lack of finishing materials could keep you from attaining that luxury appearance with a surface mount or semi-recessed installation. Robern Uplift Tech side kits and top and bottom kits are ideally suited for finishing the look of your cabinet, attaching easily to the exposed areas so that the entire installation has a clean, upscale appearance.

An anodized aluminum handle comes standard with each Robern Uplift Tech cabinet. However, upgrades are available to help you better coordinate your new cabinet with the rest of your bathroom decor. Additional metal frame finishes include chrome, polished nickel, matte black, and matte gold. 

Other additions can further streamline your morning routine. For example, an optional pull-out magnifying mirror is perfect for tweezing and other tasks that require a closer look. Offering 3x magnification, you won’t have to worry about squinting or getting too close to the mirror to finish your daily preparations. This mirror retracts into the cabinet when not in use, so you can maintain an uncluttered look for your bathroom.

Organizer shelves further enhance your organizational skills, such as the customizable grooming trays and bins that can be inserted in the bottom shelf of the Robern Uplift Tech cabinet. With three different sizes available, these organizer shelves make it easy to sort and store smaller items, such as tweezers, cosmetics, and medicines.

Glass bins are another organizational option available for any Robern cabinet. Ranging in size from a 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” square to 3-1/4” x 8-1/4”, the three available sizes of these glass organizing bins can serve as the perfect way to organize bathroom items while maintaining the clean, modern look of the Uplift Tech cabinet.

If you need to stay connected to the world during your bathroom routine, Robern Uplift Tech cabinets have an available TV mount kit. This will let you save counter space by mounting a television or stereo to the side of the cabinet. The add-on mount can accommodate LCD and flatscreen TVs with up to a 19-inch diagonal screen size. With this extra feature, you will never have to worry about missing the morning news or your favorite show!

Pick Your Favorite

So which Robern Uplift Tech cabinet is right for you? Here is a brief overview of the different models available in the Uplift Tech line.

Lighting and electrical options are a key facet that distinguishes different Robern Uplift Tech models. Whether you prefer a basic cabinet that doesn’t include any lighting features whatsoever, or a fully modern option that includes all the bells and whistles, there is a Robern Uplift Tech cabinet to fit your tastes and budgets.

It all starts with the Robern UC24276FPNE0N. This is the smallest cabinet in the Robern Uplift Tech lineup, with a width of 24 inches and height of 27 inches. Thanks to its compact size, this model is a popular choice for urban areas or guest bathrooms where space is at a premium. As the most affordable Uplift Tech cabinet, it does not come with any of the additional lighting or electronics features that are available in larger models.

The next available size for Robern cabinets have a width of 30 inches, as seen in the Robern UC30276FPNE2N. This cabinet introduces electrical outlets so that you have a convenient location for powering your devices. This cabinet’s E2 Electric setup offers two USB outlets and three standard electrical outlets so you can do everything from charging your cell phone to powering your hair dryer. A discreet cable management system allows you to keep wires hidden to maintain a streamlined look for your bathroom.

All Robern Uplift Tech cabinets that are 36 inches wide or larger feature some type of electrical installation. The Robern UC36276FPNE4N adds a night light and defogger system to the cabinet design. The night light emits a soft glow that makes it easier to navigate the bathroom during the night. It even features interior lighting that turns on and off based on whether the door is opened or shut. This allows you to find needed items without using room lighting. The mirror defogger that also comes with this model enables you to use the medicine cabinet’s mirror, even when steam would normally obscure your view. 

The largest size of Robern Uplift Tech cabinets are available in a width of 48 inches. The Robern UC48276RP3E2N does not come with a mirror defogger or night light, but it offers LED perimeter lighting that surrounds the entire length of the mirror. These energy-efficient LEDs have an estimated lifespan of 53,000 hours. The lighting itself is fully adjustable. It can even be dimmed to one percent capacity when being used as task lighting.

For those who want the ultimate bathroom setup, the Robern UC48276RP3E4N is the obvious choice. At 48 inches wide, this medicine cabinet comes fully equipped with all the features that make the Uplift Tech lineup stand out, even among Robern’s other offerings. LED perimeter lighting, a nightlight, electrical outlets, and a defogger ensure that you have everything you need for a luxurious bathroom experience.

These aren’t the only models available in the Uplift Tech lineup. For the 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch medicine cabinets, electric models are available with (or without) perimeter lighting, defoggers, and night lights. This way, you can select a model that only has the features that you want/need, while still enjoying the luxurious look and unique design options that can be found with a Robern Uplift Tech cabinet.

Which Option is Best For You?

With so many models available, you might be wondering which option will be the best fit for your home. While you should certainly start by considering your own personal preferences for a new medicine cabinet, there are a few other factors that should also play a role as you decide which type of Robern Uplift Tech cabinet is right for your home.

The first factor to consider is the size and layout of your current bathroom where you plan to install the new cabinets. After all, there is a big difference between 24 and 48 inches — you don’t want to get a medicine cabinet that is too wide or too narrow for your space. A cabinet that is too narrow may look awkward or out of place in a larger bathroom unless you use modular attachments to expand the cabinet area. Of course, a cabinet that is too wide may not fit in the available wall space!

While electrical features can be a great addition to your bathroom medicine cabinet, keep in mind that this will add some extra to-do’s to the installation process. If you don’t already have a bathroom medicine cabinet with electrical features, you will likely need to hire an electrician to check out the room’s current wiring and possibly install a new line so that your Robern Uplift Tech cabinet will have the power supply necessary to operate its key amenities. Because this will increase your overall installation costs, you must plan for it as you budget for bathroom renovations.

It can also help to consider which Uplift Tech features you will actually use. For example, if you plan on installing new medicine cabinets in a child’s bathroom, an Uplift Tech cabinet that comes with a nightlight will help your child’s midnight bathroom trips seem less scary. The defogger can be especially helpful in the master bathroom, where you or your spouse may need to get ready for work quickly and don’t have time to wait for the bathroom mirror to defog on its own.

For guest bathrooms that are rarely used by family members, such extra features may not always be necessary. This is especially true of half-bathrooms, which generally only have a toilet and sink. While a medicine cabinet may be helpful in these bathrooms so you can have some extra storage space, a defogger would be completely unnecessary when there is no shower or bathtub present.

As such, you should carefully consider how you, other family members, or guests would be using the bathroom as you decide which Robern Uplift Tech cabinet is the best option. If you are remodeling multiple bathrooms, you may discover that different models are better suited for different areas. 

Preparing For the Installation

Another installation factor to consider is whether you want your Robern Uplift Tech cabinet to be surface mounted, recessed, or semi-recessed. From an aesthetics standpoint, this will directly affect how far out the cabinet extends from the wall. Robert Uplift Tech cabinets project approximately 7-1/8” when surface mounted, compared to a mere 1-5/16” when fully recessed. With an almost 6-inch difference, this could greatly alter your bathroom’s appearance!

There is also a big difference between installing a surface mounted cabinet and a recessed or semi-recessed cabinet. Surface mount kits are relatively easy to install. The kits come with the mounting bars, screws, anchors, clips, and brackets needed for the installation. With a drill and a screwdriver, you can complete the entire process and mount your new cabinet relatively quickly. This can usually be accomplished by most DIY enthusiasts, and is also a great choice when you are working with a tighter budget.

For a recessed or semi-recessed cabinet, however, the installation process is much more complex. Prior to performing the installation, you must inspect the area behind the wall for obstacles such as electrical wires, vent pipes, plumbing, and load-bearing studs. Large obstacles could make a recessed cabinet installation unfeasible for certain areas or require that you hire a contractor to reroute electrical wires and other hazards.

Even if the area is clear of such obstructions, installation will still require some additional work. You will need to cut away the drywall where the cabinet will be installed. You will likely also need to remove part of a non-load-bearing stud so that you have adequate space for mounting the cabinet. Most recessed and semi-recessed cabinet installations also require that you create a wood frame using 2x4s that have been cut to length.

Several additional tools are needed for a recessed or semi-recessed installation, including drywall knives, oscillating tools, stud finders, construction adhesive, and possibly even a handsaw. If you don’t already own these tools, obtaining and learning to use this equipment could prove to be a challenge in and of itself.

Because of the complexity and potential hazards of installing a recessed or semi-recessed cabinet, most homeowners prefer to hire professional contractors to handle this part of the bathroom upgrade process. If you are remodeling the entire bathroom, new cabinet installation can (and should) be included in your overall quote. However, if you are only replacing the cabinets, you should get estimates from multiple contractors to find the best fit available.

Do More With Robern Uplift Tech

When it comes to medicine cabinets, you can stick with something basic. Or you can go for a high-end option that allows you to more fully integrate your bathroom routine with tech devices and other modern luxuries.

The great thing about the Robern Uplift Tech series is that you can get something at either end of this spectrum. However, regardless of whether you prefer something basic or want the fully modern experience, you will enjoy the distinct style, versatile performance, and durable design of the Uplift series.

How Your Bathroom Can Benefit From a Robern Medicine Cabinet

Posted on by

When it comes to maximizing the usefulness of your bathroom, few additions can have a greater impact than a medicine cabinet. Medicine cabinets don’t merely add extra shelving — they do so in a manner that has a minimal impact on the available space in your bathroom, ensuring that the room doesn’t become cramped and cluttered.

Of course, not all medicine cabinets are created equal, and in our opinion, few brands are better suited for meeting your needs than Robern.

With so many different styles available, it’s easy to find a Robern medicine cabinet that perfectly matches what you’re looking for. Whether you need a simple replacement for your current cabinet or you’re interested in a brand new, high-tech upgrade, you’ll have plenty to choose from. 

Here’s a closer look at some of the factors you should consider when installing a Robern medicine cabinet, as well as which options are available to help you get the most out of your bathroom.

Things to Consider For a Medicine Cabinet Installation

Before you purchase a medicine cabinet, you must first determine what type of cabinet will work best for your bathroom space. After all, you don’t want to waste your time and money by ordering a cabinet that doesn’t fit the room!

If you aren’t replacing a pre-existing medicine cabinet, start by determining which location will work best for your new installation. Take measurements with a tape measure along the wall where you plan to install the cabinet. Keep in mind that many of the features of your bathroom — even full-size mirrors — can be adjusted to make room for a new cabinet installation. According toThis Old House, the top of your medicine cabinet should generally be about 72 inches above the floor.

When choosing a spot for your medicine cabinet, you will need to be aware of what is behind the wall. Many medicine cabinets are recessed or semi-recessed, meaning they are fitted inside the wall to save space and improve aesthetics. 

Behind your wall could be a load-bearing stud, plumbing pipes, large vent pipes, or even electrical wires. Use a stud detector or get help from a professional contractor to determine if any of these obstacles are located behind your wall. 

When these items are present, it doesn’t mean that a recessed cabinet installation is impossible. However, it does mean that the installation will require a lot more labor. You may need to hire a contractor to help reroute electrical wires. You will also likely need to cut away part of a non-load-bearing stud to make room for most standard cabinets. If a load-bearing stud or a large vent pipe are present, you should choose a different location for your cabinet.

Though such issues can complicate the installation of a recessed medicine cabinet, they have little to no impact when installing a wall-mounted or surface cabinet. Though wall-mounted cabinets are easier to install, they do take up more space, which can be an issue in smaller bathrooms.

By doing a little preliminary work, you will go a long way in determining the dimensions and style of medicine cabinet that will be best suited for your needs.

Why Choose Robern?

Once you’ve determined which types of medicine cabinets will work best for your space, it’s time to pick the brand and model that work best for you. So what is it that makes Robern medicine cabinets such a great pick?

Perhaps the most distinctive element of Robern medicine cabinets is their integration of extra features that go well beyond simply adding a mirror and some additional shelf space. Some features of these medicine cabinets include electrical and USB outlets, magnifying mirrors, mirror defoggers, and even Bluetooth integration. 

Many models also utilize modular design elements that make it easier to customize or adapt your installation to better integrate with other bathroom features. Many models can be installed as either a recessed mount or a surface mount with the corresponding mounting kit. With styles ranging from traditional medicine cabinets and two-door models to arch tops and full-length cabinets, you’ll also have no trouble finding a style that matches your tastes.

Regardless of the type of medicine cabinet you choose, you can have confidence that your selected model will be built to last. Robern cabinets utilize materials like glass and anodized aluminum to prevent moisture damage, ensuring that you will continue to enjoy high-quality style and performance for many years to come.

Whether you just want something simple or you wish to help your bathroom become part of a “smart home” suite, Robern has you covered — and with great style, no matter which medicine cabinet you choose.

Robern Medicine Cabinet Options

Here’s a closer look at the different medicine cabinet styles available through Kitchen & Bath Authority:

  • AiO Series: Minimalist design gets a modern twist in the AiO series. The mirror itself uses a touch-control dimming switch to control the built-in exterior and interior LED task lighting, making it easy to adjust lighting for any task. The long lifespan and effectiveness of LED lighting will also help you reduce energy expenses. This is far from the only modern upgrade you’ll find in the AiO series — these medicine cabinets also come equipped with invisible OM audio speakers that deliver uniform sound in 2-channel stereo. With Bluetooth connectivity, you can connect your smartphone to the mirror so you can listen to your favorite songs as you go through your daily routines. You can even charge your phone with the cabinet’s USB outlet!
  • M Series: It’s the little features that make a big difference in the Robern M Series. For example, these medicine cabinets come with a door-mounted electronic defogger. Activate the device, and it will run for 45 minutes to keep the mirror from getting too steamy. The mirror’s external LED lighting can also be programmed to function as a nightlight for up to 12 hours at a time. Plugs are mounted inside the cabinet to provide power to electrically-powered bathroom devices. A concealed finger pull makes it easy to open the cabinet, while the cabinet’s self-closing hinges achieve opening angles ranging from 110 to 170 degrees. Constructed from high-quality glass and anodized aluminum, these cabinets are built to stand the test of time by resisting damage from moisture and dust. The modular design of the M Series allows it to be easily combined with another mirror or cabinet.
  • Main Line Framed Cabinets: Main Line Framed Cabinets are sure to provide an attractive look to your bathroom thanks to their diverse mix of frame styles and metal finishes. Frame options include the wide bevel gallery-style Byrn Mawr frame, the sleek 1930s-inspired Merion frame, and the thin, multilayered bevel Rosemont frame. Metal finishes are available in Satin Nickel, brushed bronze, brushed black, white, and more. Other optional features for these simple, yet sleek cabinets include a 3x magnifying mirror, an in-cabinet electrical outlet, and sturdy glass bins for extra storage capacity.
  • PL Series: The PL Series allows you to give your bathroom medicine cabinet a few extra features without getting too “techy.” An in-cabinet electrical outlet allows you to charge or power accessories such as hairdryers or electric razors, while a safety lock box provides extra protection for medicines or valuable personal items. An interior magnifying mirror, as well as the three-mirror design (which features two interior mirrors), makes it even easier to get ready in the morning. As with other Robern medicine cabinets, the PL series utilizes a “safeseal” gasket, which keeps moisture and dust out of the cabinet interior. The PL Series is also available in a distinctive three-door style that gives you even more storage options.
  • Profiles: The medicine cabinets in the Profiles collection use metal accents to create a distinctly modern look, available in your choice of chrome, polished nickel, matte gold, and matte black. Electric models feature electrical and USB outlets which are ETL/UL certified for safe use in damp areas. Adjustable LED task lighting is available to set the right mood for any time of day, while a magnetic storage strip makes it easy to keep track of small metal items. Other optional features include a pull-out magnifying mirror and a safety lock box to keep medicines safe from children.
  • R3: Not everyone needs the latest tech upgrades for their bathroom medicine cabinets — and that’s perfectly okay. Robern has those looking for a simple replacement or installation covered with the R3 series. Most importantly, however, the R3 series delivers the same high level of quality that you get in other Robern cabinets. Anodized aluminum frames prevent moisture damage, while the interior features adjustable shelving that makes it easy to adapt your cabinet according to your needs. R3 cabinets also utilize a three-mirror design, with interior mirrors that allow you to check your appearance even when getting items from the cabinet. A slow-close door also prevents accidental slams for a more pleasant bathroom experience. The simple, low-profile look of the R3 series makes it a great fit for any type of bathroom decor.
  • Uplift: Innovative technology reigns supreme in Uplift cabinets. You’ll never have issues with lighting thanks to the soft night light mounted at the bottom of the cabinet, interior cabinet lights that automatically turn on and off, and a defogger that allows you to use your mirror at any time, even after a steamy shower. Uplift cabinets take your use of electronically-powered items into account with a six-outlet electric column, as well as a discreet wiring enclosure for managing wires and plugs. Cabinets in the Uplift series can even be equipped with an optional TV mount so you can watch the news or your favorite shows while getting ready in the morning! Of course, tech enhancements are far from the only thing Uplift cabinets have to offer. An organizer shelf with trays and bins make it easy to store smaller items, while adjustable glass shelves allow you to customize your interior configuration. Cabinet doors even come with a position hold feature that keeps the door from swinging shut.

You really can’t go wrong with any of these medicine cabinets from Robern! Ultimately, the right pick will come down to which features you want/need for your bathroom, as well as which cabinets will be a good fit for your available wall space.

Installing Your Cabinets

Once you’ve determined which type of cabinet will work best for your bathroom and purchased the model that best appeals to you, it’s time to do the installation. If you’re an avid DIYer, this is a project you can handle on your own (even for more complex recessed installations), as long as there isn’t any wiring or plumbing in the cabinet space that needs to be re-routed. 

When such obstacles are present, you should enlist the help of a professional electrician or plumber before you attempt to install the cabinet. This will also be necessary if you choose a Robern cabinet that features an electrical or USB outlet, as additional wiring will need to be run to the new cabinet installation to ensure that these features function properly.

Start by once again measuring the space where the cabinet will be installed, this time using the exact measurements of the recessed portion of the cabinet. Use a measuring tape and level to make a pencil outline of this area. Alternatively, if you have someone else to help you, you can hold the cabinet against the wall and trace its outline.

After you’ve finished the outline, carefully cut along your pencilled line using an oscillating tool, keyhole saw, or drywall knife. If you know that wires or pipes are present or are uncertain about their presence, cut small “observation holes” in the corners of the outlined area and use a flashlight to inspect the interior wall space before finishing the removal of the drywall to avoid accidental damage. 

You can then clean up your outline with a drywall knife. You may also need to remove insulation or loose debris from the area.

With the drywall removed, you will likely have an exposed stud. Your next step will be to remove the portion of the stud that would otherwise block your cabinet installation. Remember, you should only remove the stud if it is non-load-bearing. Only remove the portion of the stud that would interfere with your cabinet installation, exercising caution so as not to cut through the drywall behind the stud. This can be done with an oscillating tool or handsaw.

After you’ve cleared the space where your medicine cabinet will go, you will need to install the framing or blocking. Use a set of 2x4s (cut to length to fit the cabinet space), installed both horizontally and vertically inside the wall frame. Construction adhesive will help the individual pieces of wood stick together. Use the mounting screws to attach the frame securely to the studs or drywall.

At this point, you’re finally ready to mount the cabinet. Carefully fit the cabinet frame into the blocking and press along its edges so that it is mounted evenly against the wall. Most cabinet models have small holes on the side, which you will use to screw the cabinet securely in place against the blocking. If you performed an even cut with the proper dimensions, the cabinet should fit perfectly. Minor irregularities can be hidden with caulking.

Once the cabinet is securely in place, all that’s left to do is attach the door and shelves! Your new cabinet will then be ready for you to fill up and use. For a surface mount, you will simply need a specialized surface mount kit designed for your cabinet model — no drilling or cutting required. The process is also typically easier if you are replacing a pre-existing cabinet. Simply unscrew the old cabinet from the wall, insert the new cabinet into the blocking, and screw it into place. Be mindful of whether the old cabinet was connected to your home’s electrical wiring. If the old or new cabinet utilizes an electrical connection, you will likely need help from a professional electrician.

Of course, many homeowners will opt for new cabinets as part of a full-scale bathroom remodel. After all, when the bathroom is already going to undergo significant construction work, adding a recessed medicine cabinet won’t add too much to the overall timeline for completing the project.

If this is the case, simply choose your preferred Robern medicine cabinet and have your contractor perform the installation as part of your bathroom upgrade. Robern also produces vanities and other bathroom products, making it easy to find a great-looking match to create a cohesive design for your bathroom. It saves a lot of time and stress when you have someone else doing the work!
