Installation FAQs

 

 

Can I install a wall-hung vanity on any type of wall?

Wall-hung vanities must be securely fixed to a load-bearing wall or a wall with adequate structural reinforcement. Installation on plasterboard alone is not recommended without suitable backing. Always consult your builder or installer to ensure the wall can support the weight of the vanity.

Do tallboys, laundry cabinets, and similar items need to be fixed to the wall?

Yes. All tallboys, laundry cabinets, and similar items must be securely fixed to the wall to prevent toppling, which can cause serious injury.

How high should I install my vanity or shaving cabinet?

Installation height is generally based on personal preference and ergonomic comfort. As a guide, the top of the basin is typically installed at around 850–900mm from the finished floor level. Shaving cabinets are usually positioned at eye level, but make sure to align with any plumbing points and consider user height for accessibility.

Can plumbing interfere with drawer function?

Yes. Internal plumbing that is not carefully positioned can obstruct drawer operation. Ensure the plumbing is planned and installed to avoid interfering with internal drawer space. Consult your installer or plumber before finalising placement.

Can I cut into the cabinet to accommodate plumbing?

Yes, but cuts should be minimal and made carefully to avoid weakening structural support or voiding warranty. Always consult installation guidelines before making modifications.

What do I need to consider when installing a vanity with a stone top?

Stone tops are heavy and fragile—always handle with care. Ensure the cabinet is level and properly supported before placing the top. Use a neutral-cure silicone to fix the top in place and avoid excessive pressure during installation to prevent cracks. Do not overtighten tapware or waste fittings.

Why don’t the vanity drawers align or sit properly after installation?

There are a few common reasons why vanity drawers may not align or sit correctly after installation.

  • The drawers are pre-fitted to specific positions at the factory—if they are accidentally swapped during installation, this can cause misalignment or uneven gaps.
  • The wall surface where the cabinet is mounted can affect alignment. If the wall is not flat or level, the cabinet may not sit correctly, impacting drawer function.

We recommend reviewing the installation instructions for drawer alignment adjustments. If issues persist, please contact our customer support team for further guidance.
Installation Guide

My shaving cabinet door is not aligned.

If your shaving cabinet door isn’t aligned, the hinges may need adjustment. This is a normal part of installation, as the weight and placement of the door can shift slightly over time. Doors removed and reinstalled during installation can also require realignment.

There is power traveling through the LED shaving cabinet, however, the LED light is not turning on. What should I do?

If the LED light is not turning on despite power being supplied, it's possible that a connection became loose during transit or installation. We recommend having a qualified electrician check that all connections are properly secured, especially the LED wiring. Refer to the installation guide for further detail. If the issue persists, contact our customer support team.

 

 

Design FAQs

 

 

Why doesn’t my white vanity match the ceramic basin or stone top?

Slight variations in colour and finish are normal between ceramic, stone, and painted or laminated cabinetry. Differences in how each surface reflects light can make them appear mismatched even though they are designed to complement each other.

Why are there small variations in pattern or grain on my stone top?

Our stone tops are made using engineered stone, which includes natural stone elements. Subtle differences in pattern, veining, or grain are expected and add to the natural aesthetic of the product.

Can I mix and match different Otti vanities, basins, and tapware?

Yes. Our products are designed with complementary finishes and proportions to give you design flexibility. Always check dimensions, colour tones, and fitting compatibility to ensure a cohesive look.

Why do colours or finishes look different in my bathroom than they did online or in-store?

Lighting conditions affect how colours and finishes appear. Natural light, artificial lighting (warm vs. cool), and surrounding materials (tiles, wall colour) can alter perceived tones. We recommend viewing samples in your actual space if possible.

How do I choose the right size vanity or cabinet for my space?

Measure your wall space and consider storage needs, basin style, and the number of users. Wall-hung vanities create an open feel, while floor-standing options offer more storage. Account for door and drawer clearances and plumbing access.

Can I customise the handles or finishes on my vanity?

Some vanities allow custom handles or finishes. Check specifications or ask your supplier. Swapping handles is an easy way to personalise your space, but ensure replacements don’t impact functionality.

 

 

Cleaning & Care FAQs

 

 

What cleaning products should I use on Otti products? Can I use bleach?

Avoid bleach, acidic cleaners, scouring pads, or abrasive cloths—they can damage finishes on vanities, basins, stone tops, and tapware. Use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry matte black or coloured finishes after cleaning to prevent watermarks.

How do I clean and care for ceramic basins, stone tops, and vanities?
  • Ceramic basins: Use mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives. Dry after use.
  • Stone tops: Wipe spills immediately, use stone-safe cleaners, and reseal periodically. For tough marks, use a baking soda paste. Some stains may be permanent—consult a specialist if needed.
  • Vanities & wood finishes: Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid standing water to prevent damage.
How can I prevent and remove water spots or silicone residue?

Dry surfaces after use to avoid mineral buildup. For stone, apply a water-repellent sealant. For silicone residue, use a plastic scraper or silicone remover—never metal tools which can scratch.

Why is my stainless-steel sink rusting and how can I fix it?

While 304 stainless steel resists rust, marks can appear due to harsh chemicals, minerals, or sitting residue. Clean with mild soap and dry after use. For rust, use a stainless-steel cleaner or scrub with a non-metal scouring pad in circles. Avoid acidic substances.

How do I clean my mirrors and prevent edge corrosion?

Spray gentle glass cleaner onto a cloth (not directly on the mirror). Wipe gently and dry to prevent moisture at the edges. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure good bathroom ventilation. You can also apply anti-corrosion sealant around edges for added protection.
