Supporting the weight...
11 years ago
Hello,
I imagine the concrete vanity top is very heavy - even if packed GFRC and not a solid pour. Was any special consideration taken to strengthen the cabinet and how it's secured to the wall? We're looking to do something similar and worry about the inherent weakness of the 'floating' style install. Thanks for any insights you can offer!
