You no longer need to hire a specialist to design your sliding doors; you can now do it yourself.

What are sliding wardrobe doors?

Sliding wardrobe doors are a great way to add storage space to a room with limited floor space, as their sliding function allows you to open doors sideways rather than outwards. With hinged doors, more opening space needs to come into consideration, but with a sliding door, you wouldn’t have to think twice about the area it will take.

Sliding door wardrobes can be built to be free-standing but look just as good placed within an alcove. It’ll take up just as much storage space as a traditional wardrobe but will not compromise your valuable floor space.

Customise design

The design and style possibilities of sliding wardrobe doors are endless. If you’re decorating a room from scratch, this is the perfect opportunity to consider what design style you would like. Manufacturers of sliding wardrobe doors Cworkshop, understand that no two people are alike, and proudly provide customers with a massive selection of decor options to consider.

If you’re looking to give the impression that the room is more spacious than it is, you may want to consider getting mirrored sliding doors. Reflections in a room use light to accentuate the space you have. You may think that having a massive mirror in the room will be overwhelming, but you can choose different tints, such as bronze or grey mirrors. You can also use coloured glass, which has similar reflective properties to mirrors but comes in a whole spectrum of colours to suit the look of your room.

If you want a natural feel, you can also consider wood effect panels for sliding doors; again, you have an entire range of wood effects to choose from – light, dark, coloured and a massive selection of wood species. The same goes for other natural materials like marble, stone, concrete, and textiles.

If you want to go with something simpler, you can choose a plethora of uni-colours to suit your mood.

Lastly, you’re not limited to just a single type of décor. You can mix and match sheet materials that go with your design theme. You can design a door with multiple panels of any type of material by splitting up a sliding door horizontally with up to five panels at varying widths or using multiple vertical panels.

To hold the doors together, you will need a frame. The frame is made from high-quality aluminium and comes in various colours and styles that will go with whatever theme you have in mind.

Track system

The track system is one of the essential elements of a sliding door. The track system is not just a design feature but holds the door securely, so you won’t feel the door shaking when you slide your doors open and close. An excellent sliding door track system should have a service life of up to 30 years, with at least 110,000 door opening and closing cycles.

Angled sliding doors

All houses are built differently, and it’s not uncommon to have a sloping ceiling, whether it’s in the bedroom or the loft. Cworkshop has a solution for those who want sliding wardrobe doors but are unsure if it will work with a ceiling that slopes downwards. You can now get angled sliding doors that open and close like regular sliding doors but account for the angle of the ceiling. Now you can have this brilliant space-saving solution even in the most obscure of rooms.
