At Armrock Constructions, we specialise in premium Gold Coast bathroom renovations, delivering beautifully designed, highly functional spaces that stand the test of time. From coastal apartments in
Broadbeach
to family homes in
Robina
and established properties in
Nerang,
we help homeowners transform outdated bathrooms into modern, practical spaces.
One of the most defining elements in many of our renovations is the custom-made vanity unit—often the visual centrepiece of the bathroom.
In modern bathroom design, bespoke vanity styles are increasingly achieved using timber-look laminates. Whether applied to vanity benchtops, cabinetry, or full vanity units, these materials deliver the warmth of natural timber with the durability required for wet areas. The results are so effective that we wanted to showcase how timber laminates can be used—and why they’ve become a standout choice in contemporary bathroom renovations across the Gold Coast.
If you’re planning a bathroom renovation on the Gold Coast, our experienced team would love to help. Contact Armrock Constructions for a free consultation and quote.
What Are Timber-Look Laminates?
Timber-look laminates are engineered materials designed to replicate the appearance and texture of natural timber. Manufactured through a lamination process—where multiple layers are fused under pressure—they are purpose-built for durability, stability, and moisture resistance.
For bathrooms, this is critical—particularly in high-use family homes and coastal environments such as
Mermaid Waters
and
Runaway Bay,
where humidity and moisture exposure are common.
Unlike natural timber, laminates are hard-wearing, low-maintenance, and water resistant, making them ideal for vanity units, cabinetry, splashbacks, and even flooring.
To explore how laminates integrate into broader bathroom design, see our guide on Timber Laminates in Bathroom Design.
Using Timber-Look Laminates in Bathroom Renovations
In a bathroom renovation, timber-look laminates are most commonly used in custom vanity units, where they help translate design concepts into practical, stylish outcomes. With the wide variety of colours, tones, grains, and finishes available, laminates can create bathrooms that feel:
- Natural and calming
- Bold and architectural
- Warm and inviting
- Clean and modern
This flexibility makes them particularly popular in renovations across suburbs such as
Burleigh Heads
and
Varsity Lakes,
where modern coastal and contemporary styles are in high demand.
At Armrock Constructions, we provide an end-to-end service—from design consultation to custom cabinetry manufacture and installation—ensuring your vanity integrates seamlessly with tiling, fixtures, lighting, and layout.

The Advantages of Timber Laminates in Bathrooms
When compared with natural timber and other materials, timber laminates offer significant advantages in bathroom environments:
- Hard-wearing and durable
- Water resistant and moisture stable
- Wide range of colours, grains, and textures
- Cost-effective compared to solid timber
- Suitable for both budget and luxury renovations
- Highly versatile in design application
- Corners and edges can be curved
- Strong structural performance
- Some ranges feature realistic timber textures
These properties allow us to create highly refined details—such as curved laminated edges—that echo round mirrors, freestanding baths, and soft architectural lines.
Timber-Look Laminates in Vanity Units
Custom vanity units are where timber-look laminates truly shine. They can be used on:
- Vanity benchtops
- Cabinet faces
- Full vanity carcasses
Timber tones help ground a bathroom, add warmth, and visually connect indoor spaces with the natural environment—particularly effective in coastal homes across Palm Beach and Currumbin Waters. Learn more about bathroom vanity options here.
Timber-Look Laminates in Bathroom Flooring
Timber-look laminates and tiles are also an excellent choice for bathroom flooring. Their durability and moisture resistance make them ideal for wet areas, while their larger visual footprint allows them to transform the entire space.
Used correctly, timber-style flooring can:
- Make bathrooms feel warmer and more inviting
- Visually enlarge small bathrooms
- Create continuity between ensuite and bedroom spaces
This approach is particularly popular in family homes throughout Upper Coomera and Helensvale.
