I'm in the same boat at your husband, hence the 900 high vanities. I can life with 850 upstairs. I could even life with 750 downstairs powder room seeing as it's only going to be used occasionally to wash hands. I asked our SS about the spout length and apparently they can only get 200 as existing or 300, which would be too long. I'm sure I've seen 250mm spouts around. Might have a chat with the SS to see if we can source the spout and they install. Yeah we like the floor and wall tiles selected but in hindsight, the cabinets are a little bland but I'm sure once we add a bit of colour to the bathroom it will be ok.

I dont see the spout length being an issue later on. You can easily unscrew and swap with another spout. Its probably a good time prior to handover to argue the point though. Looking around on Caroma's website, you need to look at bath spouts to get beyond 200mm reach. http://www.caroma.com.au/bathrooms/outl ... th-outlet- http://www.caroma.com.au/bathrooms/outl ... th-outlet- http://www.caroma.com.au/bathrooms/outl ... ath-outlet Considered the height of the spout plumbing, you would be best to get a drop down spout to avoid the splash factor. Personally, I think the cabinet colour is spot on. Too often, i see busy cabinet door finishes that would date in a couple of years. In my opinion, you can't beat simplicity in bathrooms. Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 289Apr 05, 2016 8:47 am Yeah I started looking online and bath spouts seem the way to go and we'll likely do that after. Point taken on the point down style spout. Shouldn't be too expensive. This is a pic to show the length with water running.. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm just uncertain if redoing the 750mm powder room vanity is worth it at this point. I wouldn't be using for anything else other then washing hands. And I really don't want another 2-4 week delay. Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 290Apr 05, 2016 8:55 am I guess it depends how much it matters to you, as others have said. It would drive me nuts to know the vanities weren't all at the same height so I think I would insist on having that fixed. I'd probably make an issue of the taps too, to be honest - a builder shouldn't offer a tap and basin combination that doesn't offer practical functionality. We chose different basins so hopefully we won't have this issue but I might be prepared to jump up and down about it if we do (easy to say at this stage though - we may not have the energy for the fight by the end of the build and I totally get why you're eager to just be DONE). Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 291Apr 05, 2016 6:24 pm On a side note, dont forget your pocket mirror to check silicone around the tight areas of the vanity basins and baths (except stand alone) to ensure leak free vanity cabs. Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 293Apr 06, 2016 5:24 pm Sorry to hear of these issues. Is that standard height of the taps to be that high from the sink? It looks very high and looks like when you wash your hand the water will land on the sink's sill and roll onto the bench top and over time could mould. I would change it to the correct height of 900mm. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 294Apr 06, 2016 5:38 pm Red: we opted to get the powder room redone. 15cm lower than required was too much. I think I can live with the ensuite and bathroom being 5cm lower. Still a little annoyed that we won't get what we signed up for. Nothing can be done with the spouts, 200 and 300 are our only available lengths in the same style. So we have to leave it as 100mm longer will be too much. Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 295Apr 06, 2016 5:44 pm Yes, I would feel better about a 5cm difference than I would about a 15cm difference. Glad you have resolved. How much time will it add to get the powder room vanity re-done? Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 296Apr 06, 2016 5:47 pm Jonny: they're Caroma Liano from what I recall. Building4my3tots: I'm unsure what the height is standard but it is a bit high and not helped by the fact the vanity height there is approx 5cm too short. We specified 90cm height but got 84cm. I'm still contemplating it. I think seeing as we're getting them to do the powder, might as well do the other 2 while they're at it. Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 298Apr 06, 2016 7:00 pm Hi Iverson, Nice build with Rawson so far. I'm quite impressed the trend facade on your build resembled quite closely to the pictures Rawson have on their site (except the colour differences). I was a bit weary the facade on the Rawson site would be an 'ideal' scenario. Out of curiosity, were you given the option to determine the height of the spout above the basin or could you only specify the vanity height? Re: Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 ( 299Jun 05, 2016 1:35 am Any updates iverson?

Hi, We are also building with Rawson and we could request the vanity height. The taps and mirrors were labeled "to be confirmed onsite". We are currently at the tiling stage and it all looks right to me.
