Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I always thought this was a dark blackish colour . I ordered a bathroom vanity unit ages ago and just opened it . Box says anthracite - unit looks ‘grey’ - is this right ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthracite is an "in" colour, so lots of things are specified as Anthracite now and it looks right to me from what I see. Google RAL 7016 - Anthracite Grey I'd say your cabinet is damn near RAL 7016.

Mr Punter Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I have found that some RAL colours seem to have a huge variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Oh bollocks ! i was desperate to get a small sink for the ensuite But Its in the way of the WC !! What a #*% I am ! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Knob !!! can go left of the Wc but makes unit quite tight to the wall !!! What a bomb brain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 We had similar issue in our WC which also needed to meet part m. Took ages to find a basin that was big enough to wash big hands but not too deep front to back to allow the required gap between basin and opposite wall. Ended up using wall mounted taps and spout which we now like a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 What about this ? Just feels really tight on the left . Once I board ( just tile backer ) and then tile . Also got to fit a recessed mirror unit above it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 How much can I move right ? Can I go right to the edge of the geberit frame ? My next problem now is recessed mirror requires cutting out that vertical timber the frame is attached to . How do I cut it vertically off but still have the frame supported strongly ?

True RAL should be RAL - a lot of manufacturers list a RAL colour but state it is not actually a RAL colour - it's just a close equivalent. Commercially within buildings colours are matched on all sorts of items all the time and although we come across the odd mismatch its usually about bang on - I am confident the RAL system at a commercial level is very accurate. RAL powdercoat and wet finish systems need careful mixing to get a good match between the two systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The limit is probably the edge of the WC seat and the width of your a...e if that's wider :-) I'd be tempted to build a false wall to provide enough depth to move the pan to the right.

Too the right of the WC will be a shower enclosure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 I need to shift the sink 25mm to the right . Wall unit is 55cm wide . Those upright edge to edge are exactly 55cm apart . So with tile backer , adhesive , tile I need to gain 25mm So sink would be about 10mm over the geberit frame ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that you don't end up with any impossible to clean gaps. Either butt stuff together and mastic the gap or leave enough room to get something in to clean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't bother with a shower screen your layout could come in well handy when you've got food poisoning. Just projectile vomit into the shower tray whilst sitting on the bog!
