Surface Mount Medicine Cabinets

1. Surface mount medicine cabinets, as opposed to recessed medicine cabinets, are mounted directly to the wall rather than within the wall. The weight of a surface mount medicine cabinet is supported by a mounting bar and by attaching the cabinet to the bathroom's wall studs.

2. Unlike recessed bathroom cabinets, surface mount bathroom cabinets fully project from the bathroom wall. They take up more space, but also have less room for deep shelves. However, a surface mount bathroom cabinet is easier to install, and comes in a greater variety of larger sizes.

3. Mirrored surface mount medicine cabinets are the classic choice for large bathrooms or shared family bathrooms. The greater width that's common to the mirrored surface mount medicine cabinet style (particularly double or triple door medicine cabinets) provides more room for multi-person or dual sink morning prep.

4. With large surface mount bathroom cabinets, there are two primary options for decorating traditional and contemporary bathrooms: wood double-door framed surface mount medicine cabinets, and frameless modern medicine cabinets.

5. It's a photo-worthy finish when you choose metal or wood framed surface mount bathroom cabinets. Our wood finish options include the classic hardwood colors of maple, oak, and cherry, as well as white and black. Metal finish options include brushed nickel, polished chrome, and antique bronze, gold, and silver.

6. The designs of Afina surface mount medicine cabinets reflect Afina's attentiveness to the total bathroom environment. Afina surface mount medicine cabinet collections include Devon (country/cottage), Radiance (Venetian), and Broadway (double- and triple-door frameless medicine cabinets).

7. Broan-NuTone is one of North America's largest producers of home ventilation products and medicine cabinets. The quality and style of Broan-NuTone medicine cabinets reflect a company history of standard-bearing innovation that dates back to 1932.

8. Feature-rich and lavishly styled, Robern medicine cabinets are gorgeous bathroom furnishings. Our Robern surface mount medicine cabinet styles include contemporary cabinets with the option of an electrical outlet and/or lock box, a magnifying makeup mirror, and a top light bar or mirrored light kit.

9. Homes with tiny or oddly shaped bathrooms needn't go mirrorless. Surface mount corner medicine cabinets make ingenious use of bathroom nooks. Exhibit A: a wedge-shaped design that creates a perfect viewing angle. An arch style corner medicine cabinet is suitable for bathrooms or vanity areas.

10. Need the extra bathroom storage but not the reflection? Mirrorless surface mount medicine cabinets offer an attractive and more discreet alternative to open shelves.
