Stylish sliding door options

Melamine sliding doors

The most popular option for sliding wardrobe doors are melamine doors due to the durability, sizing options and range of décor options. Melamine is scuff and stain-resistant, making it a great choice especially if you have children, not to mention the wide colour range and realistic materials such as metals, stones, woodgrains and textiles.

Melamine panels are also available in a variety of surface finishes, including textured, matte and gloss options, meaning you can create sliding doors that fit perfectly into your home design.

Glass and mirror panels

Along with melamine, we offer coloured glass and mirror panels that give your room a clean, modern look. You can mix melamine, glass and mirror panels on your sliding doors to create a design that suits your style.

Melamine is highly versatile. It can be smooth or textured, including realistic wood-grain finishes if you prefer a wood-effect door. If you like solid colours, you’re not limited to black, white or grey, there are hundreds of colour options. You can combine any shades or textures to create a unique sliding door design.

Make every inch count

Storage and space solution

Hinged wardrobe doors open outwards, which means you need to consider the space available in the room is designed. However, sliding wardrobe doors require less space to open and allow you to not only save space but also makes use of your walls into a practical storage solution and help you from cluttering up your space. A fitted wardrobe especially fitted sliding wardrobes will be a massive game-changer in saving space in your home.

Apart from the door-opening mechanism, everything else about the wardrobe is standard. You can choose an interior design based on what you require most, whether it's more drawers for small items, rails for hanging your dresses or suits, or unique storage space for shoe racks and displaying your jewellery collection.

Sliding Doors for Every Style

You can personalise the finish of the framing profiles, handles and panels to suit your room and taste, giving an exquisite and contemporary style that is entirely designed by you.

An Aluminium style door is proving to gain popularity because of its modern clean finish. If this style is not for you, you have the option of looking at more traditional wooden styles. Wood is something that will never go out of style.

Mirrored doors

When it comes to the finish of the mirror, you can choose a mirror that has a tint, such as bronze or grey, thereby giving your wardrobe a more bespoke look.

In line with customisation, you can choose how much of the sliding doors you would like to be mirrored, you're not just limited to a whole door. You can have sections of the door that are mirrored to create a well-designed door that also uses a decor panel.
