HiB Mirror Cabinets in Five Steps: Mounting, Width, Light, Features and Finish

The first question with a mirror cabinet is about the wall, not the cabinet: how much of it can you open up, and how far can the cabinet project into the room? Your answer decides between surface, semi-recessed and recessed. Once that is settled, the remaining choices of width, light, features and finish are straightforward.

1. How the cabinet meets the wall

Surface mounted

These fix directly to the wall, need no building work, and are the easiest to fit and replace later. Where depth is tight, Cayla and Eris Slim are both 10cm deep.

Semi-recessed

These sit part-way into the wall, so they stick out less. The Atrium has an 8cm recess.

Recessed

These go into a stud wall or boxing, leaving the front almost flush. The Vanquish needs a 12.5cm recess and is made in widths from 30cm to 143cm. The Odelle Recessed is 63.2 to 123.2cm wide. Before you decide, check the wall construction and the recess size on the data sheet.

2. Width

A cabinet generally looks right when it echoes the width of the basin or vanity unit below. HiB cabinets range from 30cm single-door models to wide multi-door ones of 120cm and more, so lining one up with your furniture is usually possible.

3. The light

Cool white LED: crisp and even, good for shaving and make-up.
Colour temperature changing LED: move between warm and cool light. Cayla, Vanquish and Atrium offer it.
Ambient lighting: a gentle glow around the cabinet, available on models including Exos, Xenon and Ether.

4. Extra features

Heated demister pad: clears the mirror after a shower.
Shaver and USB sockets: charge a shaver or phone inside the cabinet. The Isoe adds a toothbrush charger.
Bluetooth speakers: built into the Sound cabinet.
Proximity sensor: the Vapor cabinet lights as you approach.
Soft-close hinges and double-sided mirrored doors: found on many models.

5. Finish and trims

Chrome or aluminium is the norm, but Romana, Euna and Bastille are offered in brushed brass, black or black chrome. Odelle and Vanquish cabinets can take separate HiB cabinet trims in Brushed Brass, Brushed Bronze, Gunmetal and Black (and Chrome for Odelle), so the cabinet can be matched to your taps.

A cabinet without wiring

The Eris has no lighting and needs no wiring. It has mirrored sides, double-sided mirrored doors and soft-close hinges, and a 40cm Eris corner cabinet is made too.

The short version

Settle surface, semi-recessed or recessed first.
Match the cabinet width to the basin or vanity unit.
Use the HiB data sheet to check recess depth and electrical needs.
Odelle and Vanquish trims let the cabinet coordinate with your brassware.

Quick answers

Is an electrician needed for an LED mirror cabinet?

Illuminated cabinets need a mains supply and should be connected by a qualified electrician in line with bathroom wiring regulations. The non-illuminated Eris needs no wiring.

What recess does the Vanquish need?

The HiB Vanquish recessed cabinet needs a 12.5cm recess. The product data sheet gives the full cut-out size for each width.

Can the cabinet finish be changed?

Odelle and Vanquish cabinets accept separate HiB cabinet trims in several metal finishes.
