Best places to use Vinyl Wardrobes Doors
While vinyl doors have many positive qualities, they don’t always offer the high-end finish that other door materials do.
We find that vinyl tends to be one of the most suitable materials for rental properties and busier rooms or thoroughfares like children’s bedrooms.
EXPERT TIP: We recommend Melamine doors in high-traffic commercial areas as they are harder wearing compared to vinyl and deliver a more luxurious look.
Can you Paint Vinyl Sliding Wardrobe Doors?
We are often asked if you can paint vinyl sliding wardrobe doors, but it’s not something we recommend at The Sliding Robe Door Company because it doesn’t result in the best finish.
If you want to change the colour, we recommend replacing the infill instead.
The cost of this option is similar to painting over vinyl, but the final finish will be far superior. And you can order in-fills directly from us without having to replace the entire door!
Would you like to match a wall colour or do you simply want a custom colour? If so, we recommend choosing raw plasterboard or MDF and adding your coating to that instead, as this will give a much nicer finish once painted.
