How Do You Measure Sliding Doors for Wardrobes?

With almost 40 years of experience in luxury wardrobes, we frequently help our clients with the question, “How do you measure sliding doors?”

Sliding door wardrobes are popular amongst our customers. They provide a sleek and practical way to separate rooms, create privacy, and maximise space. However, measuring sliding doors can be daunting, as it requires high levels of accuracy to ensure a perfect fit.

In this blog, we will guide you through the process of measuring sliding door wardrobes, step by step.

Benefits of sliding door wardrobes

Sliding door wardrobes are a fantastic choice for your home. They are the perfect combination of stylish and functional furniture. Take a look at some of the benefits:

• Provides storage space: They take up less space than regular closets. To make sliding doors take up less space, you can put them into a wall or a corner.
• Maximises your room’s area: Sliding door wardrobes maximise the space in your room so you can utilise every square inch. You can have more storage space and display your belongings without giving up valuable floor space.
• Has stylish options: Sliding wardrobe systems provide aesthetically beautiful, timeless modern design. Each wardrobe's fittings enable seamless integration with most walls. You can choose from a variety of colours and finishes to match the decor of your room.

Measuring for sliding door wardrobes

If you're planning to get a sliding door wardrobe, you'll need to measure for them accurately. The following are some of the areas you need to measure:

1. Width and height

Measure the width of the opening where you want to install your sliding door wardrobe. Make sure you measure the space from one side to the other. This will be the total length of your wardrobe. Make a note of your room's floor-to-ceiling height as well.

2. Track length

Getting the right length of track for your sliding door wardrobe is important. The track length is the distance between the door and the wall. This will give you a rough idea of how long your tracks need to be.

3. Wall-to-wall or recessed installation

Wall-to-wall installation is best if you want their wardrobes to be a focal point of your room. Recessed installation is ideal if you are looking for a more subtle look for your wardrobes. This type of installation also takes up less space in your room, so it's perfect if you're looking for more space-efficient storage solutions.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

How to maintain sliding door wardrobes

Sliding door wardrobes are one of the most popular wardrobe styles. They're easy to use, and they're great for small spaces. But if you want your wardrobe to look its best, you'll need to ensure you clean it regularly. Here's how:

• Remove dust or dirt from the frame with a soft cloth or rag. If there are any marks on the frame, use a cleaning solution made especially for eradicating stains from wood.
• Apply a disinfectant solution to the inside of the closet and clean it with a soft cloth or sponge. By doing this, you can prevent unpleasant odours or germs from growing within your sliding-door closets.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment specifically designed for sliding doors. It'll help keep your doors looking shiny and new.

For light-coloured doors as shown in the Wardrobe Design # 11 by Logo, it’s vital to keep away from stains. To avoid tough stains, periodically wipe the doors with a damp cloth.
