Distinctive feature of sliding wardrobe are its sliding doors which help to save space indoors as they do not support cabinet limits.
Types of sliding wardrobes
Sliding wardrobes are two types – built-in and case. Cabinet furniture – mobile. It has own walls, cover and socle. And the fitted cupboards consist generally of doors and the mechanism of their opening. As other parts of such furniture serve walls, floor and ceiling of your apartment. Thus, the fitted cupboard can be located along one of walls and play role of the separate wardrobe room. Besides, it is cheaper, than case.
Size
The sizes of cabinet are chosen especially individually. Standard depth is from 40 to 60 cm. But if you order furniture on special design, then can choose any depth necessary for you. Width of doors is chosen also, proceeding from preferences of the customer, but it should be noted that with width more than 1 m the probability that it will just jump out of grooves as will weigh much is high. With width of doors less than 1 m to use furniture not too conveniently.
Material
Doors are the most expensive element of sliding wardrobe. Their cost is formed from the price of material and accessories. As material for doors natural wood, plastic, interline interval, plywood, chipboard, fibreboard, laminated chipboard, even metal and glass can serve. The most expensive cabinets – wooden. But natural wood, though strong, but quite heavy material. Such cabinets assume use very strong and qualitatively accessories that many times raises the cabinet price.
Sliding wardrobes from laminated chipboard – the most optimal variant. They are inexpensive, rather easy, but at the same time strong and eco-friendly. Recently doors from glass are widespread. They can be transparent, executed from opal or dark glass, mirror, stained glass, and can just have glass inserts. Choosing glass doors it is necessary to specify, it is tempered or not. Otherwise such furniture is rather fragile and dangerous. Besides, glass has to be supplied with anti-vandal film which though does not increase material durability, but does not allow it to be showered when dissecting.
Metal or plastic doors are established only in specialized furniture and are not intended for household use. In rare instances it is possible to meet plastic sliding doors in kitchen compartment lockers. But they are not practical and are not durable.
