The material you pick for your wardrobe/s will not only transform the look of your home, but it can impact how well the doors hold up to wear and tear over the years.
At The Sliding Robe Door Company, we have several materials to choose from, and we can accommodate all tastes and budgets.
Here we list some of the pros and cons of our most in-demand materials below.
Materials for Fitted Wardrobes
1. Vinyl
Pros
- Affordable
- Functions well
- Fast turnaround on fabrication
- Replaced easily if need be
Cons
- Limited colours available making personalisation more difficult
- Perhaps not suitable for those wanting a high-end finish
2. Mirror
Pros
- Reflects light and opens up a space + makes smaller rooms feel larger
- Suits basically any house style
- Practical to have door and mirror combination (So, there’s no need to purchase a stand-alone mirror!)
- Functions well
- Economical option
- Easy to clean
- Can be used in combination with other materials
- Fast turnaround on fabrication
Cons
- Extra caution is needed when transporting and installing these kinds of doors
- Not ideal for a young child’s rooms, play rooms or high traffic areas as finger prints show easily

3. White Glass
Pros
- Not as reflective as mirrors, but still filters light throughout a space nicely

- Smooth/clean lines and finish
