Wall taps height - help!

3 replies

Mrscellophane1 · 15/09/2024 17:59

I really need some help as I'm unsure. I have a wall hung vanity unit that is 50cm high, and a countertop sink that is 14cm high. The plumber has set the wall taps 100cm from the floor. It looks really low, but the room isn't completed yet, so I don't know if it's just me. Could people please tell me how high their taps were set at please? Thank you

Could you post a photo please?

It's easier when there's something to look at to judge the scale by eye, rather than trying to go by measurements.

Unfortunately there is nothing to post a photo of - that's the problem. Sorry - I don't think I was clear in my post. They've just started putting in the pipework so I can see where he's put the tap - but the rest I have to imagine and stick boxes there etc. He tells me it's standard, but it really seems way too low for a sink to be comfortable. I was hoping that people with wall hung vanities might be able to tell me what theirs are set at because atm it's not too late to change it if needs be.

Google says a bathroom sink should be about 80-90cm from the floor (to the surface of the sink. This website gives a slightly bigger range - www.dimensions.com/element/bathroom-sink-washbasin-heights

If your sink is going to be 80-90cm from the floor, it doesn't seem mad that the pipes are 100cm from the floor, depending on the type of tap and where the water feeds in to them.
