Sliding Wardrobe doors.

Ronin247

Been looking at putting a wardrobe in sons bedroom for a while and priced up the doors in various places untill this week I found a half price sale at Woodies.
50% off. It was going to be E750-E950 in other places and now it will cost about E350.Not bad doors just limited sizes and styles but I'm getting the ones I want for half price so not a bad deal.
Think the sale is till 06-03-11.

Yep - I bought three mirror doors in Woodies and fitted them. The Boss is happy so brownie points for me!

How did you find them when fitted,are they sturdy? I am looking at 4 doors,2 mirror and 2 oak on white glass.
Is it only the bottom and top track needed or did you go for end rails?

golfbgud

Sturdy - yes, but then that would depend on how well you have the frame constructed around the rails. I screwed bottom rails directly to the existing wooden floor. For the top rail I bought the white plastic extender kits to fill the gap from the top of ceiling to top of rail. There's plenty of weight in the doors so once they are straight and plumb they are sturdy.

Hope this helps! I'm not a carpenter but the end result is presentable.....

That is great to hear,thanks.My friend is a carpenter and he owes me a few days for work I did for him. He will make up the insides because it is an 800 deep alcove so will be custom made but I will be his helper so I want all ready to go.Did you finish to a wall or freestanding?

Also there is a 20%discount woodies voucher in Bargain alerts for this weekend so will buy all my rails etc tomorrow

I bought the rails for 45 with 20% off so 36 euro and 4 doors for 270 so it cost 306 euro for the whole lot.Cannot beat that.
