Custom Acrylic Solid Surface Vanity for a Singapore Project
This project in Singapore demonstrates how acrylic solid surface can be combined with a minimalist metal frame to create a compact, practical and visually clean bathroom vanity.
The custom unit consists of a thermoformed acrylic solid surface basin, a fabricated solid surface countertop and a slim black metal support frame. Every component was coordinated to make effective use of the available space while maintaining a simple architectural appearance.
Project Overview
Location: Singapore
Application:Commercial bathroom vanity
Basin material: Acrylic solid surface
Basin construction:Thermoformed and integrated
Countertop: Custom-fabricated solid surface
Support structure: Minimalist black metal frame
Key benefits: Custom sizing, efficient use of space and coordinated design
Thermoformed Acrylic Solid Surface Basin
The basin is formed from acrylic solid surface using controlled heating and thermoforming. When heated to the appropriate forming temperature, the material can be shaped over a mold to produce smooth curves and a practical bowl profile.
This forming capability gives designers more freedom than standard off-the-shelf sanitary products. The basin dimensions, depth, corner radius, drainage position and overall appearance can be developed according to the project requirements.
After forming, the basin and surrounding components can be fabricated, bonded and carefully finished to create smooth transitions and a consistent surface.
Custom-Fabricated Solid Surface Countertop
The countertop was fabricated to match the dimensions of the metal frame and the installation area. Its raised perimeter helps define the washing surface, while the integrated basin gives the vanity a clean and coordinated appearance.
Acrylic solid surface can be cut, CNC-machined, bonded, thermoformed and sanded. These fabrication possibilities allow the countertop to incorporate:
* Custom lengths and widths
* Integrated or thermoformed basins
* Faucet and drainage openings
* Raised edges and splashbacks
* Rounded or geometric corners
* Project-specific cut-outs
* Matte, satin or polished finishes
The countertop and basin can therefore be designed as a complete system rather than as unrelated individual products.
Minimalist Metal Frame
A slim black metal frame supports the solid surface top without creating the visual weight of a conventional enclosed cabinet. Its open structure gives the vanity a lighter, more contemporary character.
The lower shelf provides additional usable space for storage or project-specific accessories. Plumbing remains accessible for installation and maintenance, while the frame organizes the countertop, basin and shelf within one compact footprint.
The contrast between the white acrylic solid surface and the black metal structure also creates a simple, versatile aesthetic suitable for different interior styles.
Making Better Use of Limited Space
Efficient space planning is especially important in compact commercial washrooms. Because the solid surface top and metal frame can both be manufactured to project dimensions, the vanity can be adjusted to suit a specific wall, corner or circulation area.
Custom fabrication makes it possible to control the overall width, basin position, faucet location and shelf arrangement. This reduces unused space and helps the finished vanity fit naturally within the room.
The design can be adapted for:
* Shopping malls
* Hotels and serviced apartments
* Restaurants and cafés
* Office washrooms
* Retail stores
* Clubs and entertainment venues
* Residential developments
* Other compact commercial interiors
Why Use Acrylic Solid Surface for a Custom Vanity?
Acrylic solid surface is well suited to custom vanity applications because it combines design flexibility with practical surface performance.
Flexible Forming
The material can be heated and thermoformed into curved basin shapes that would be difficult to achieve with flat panels alone.
Custom Fabrication
Dimensions, openings, edges and countertop configurations can be manufactured according to drawings and site conditions.
Integrated Appearance
Basin and countertop components can be bonded and finished to create smooth, visually continuous transitions.
Color and Finish Options
Projects can select from different colors and surface finishes to coordinate with metalwork, walls and other interior materials.
Non-Porous Surface
Acrylic solid surface is non-porous and easy to clean, making it suitable for frequently used bathroom environments.
Repairable Finish
Minor scratches and signs of surface wear can often be sanded and refinished, depending on the color and surface treatment.
Combining Solid Surface and Metalwork
This Singapore project shows how different manufacturing methods can work together within one vanity system. Thermoforming creates the basin’s curved geometry, solid surface fabrication produces the made-to-measure countertop, and the metal frame provides structural support and open storage.
The result is a simple but highly functional vanity that uses the available space effectively. Its neutral materials and clean lines allow the same concept to be adapted to a wide range of commercial and residential projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an acrylic solid surface basin be thermoformed?
Yes. Acrylic solid surface can be heated and formed over a mold to create curved basin profiles. The achievable shape depends on the material, thickness, forming radius and mold design.
Can the countertop dimensions be customized?
Yes. The length, width, thickness appearance, edge profile and required openings can be fabricated according to the project drawings and installation conditions.
Can the basin position be adjusted?
Yes. The basin, faucet and drainage positions can be coordinated during the technical design stage, subject to structural and installation requirements.
Can GELO supply the metal support frame?
GELO can develop a coordinated vanity solution that combines the solid surface top with a project-specific metal support structure. Final specifications should be confirmed through drawings and sample approval.
Is this design suitable only for commercial washrooms?
No. The same concept can be adapted for hotels, apartments, residential bathrooms, restaurants, offices and other spaces requiring a compact custom vanity.
