Question What is the difference between Oriental Bars and Split Panel Bars?
Answer You can give an oriental look to many of the panels by adding horizontal Oriental Bars that are placed at the top of the panels. Alternatively, Split Panels can be used to change the colours and materials on the door surface by splitting each door panel into sections using horizontal rails (with a visible surface of 15mm).
Question What is a liner?
Answer A liner is a piece of MFC (melamine-faced chipboard). This will match your choice of sliding door frame. The purpose of a liner is to act as a floor plate for the bottom track as well as a wall liner where the sliding doors will meet the wall. Our liners are 90mm wide, 18mm thick and approx 2500mm long. They are not compulsory, and you can delete them from our order sequence if they are not required.

Question What is an end panel?
Answer An end panel acts as an MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) side of the wardrobe. For example you may wish to have one side as an existing wall in your bedroom. You can then use an end panel on the other side to determine the width of your wardrobe. Our end panels will match your frame and are 600mm deep 18mm thick and approx 2500mm high. (You can cut this down to suit your bedroom ceiling height.)
Question What does wall to wall mean?
Answer Wall to wall means that you will run your fitted wardrobe right across a room from one wall to the other. You do not need an end panel, but we advise you have liners to protect the walls.
Question What area of wall can I cover with the wardrobes?
Answer By adding more doors you can cover any width from 600mm up to 5 metres. The system can be made to suit any height from 400mm up to a maximum of 2450mm.
Question As the sliding wardrobe door system is going to be made to the dimensions I provide, is it easy for me to take the correct measurements?
Answer Yes, please refer to our comprehensive measuring guide page by clicking here.
Question Are they difficult to install?
Answer No, each of the sliding doors is fully assembled with top and bottom rollers. You do have to cut and fix the liners and end panel if required and the top and bottom tracksets. The wardrobe doors are not heavy but as they can be up to 2440mm high, general handling and locating them into the finished position is much easier with two people. As a guide a door measuring 2100mm height x 2000mm wide weighs approximately 12kg. An average time for fitting a three door sliding system will be 2-3 hours. If you are incorporating an end panel allow a further 1-1.5 hours. Full installation instructions are available by clicking here.

Question What is the difference between room dividers and wardrobe doors?
Answer Room dividers have a completely different frame system, The door frames are Silver anodised aluminium, with the ability to take a 12mm thick panel. Therefore we can use 2 sheets of 4.0mm glass with a 4.0mm fibreboard in between. This means you can choose a different colour for each side. Most importantly a room divider does not really have a back or a front, both sides are the same aesthetically pleasing, whereas a wardrobe system has an unsightly back.
Question What is a split panel room divider?
Answer The Room dividers version of the wardrobe Oriental Bar, but with a room divider we actually cut the glass rather than use an adhesive strip which goes on the surface of the panel. this means that as well as having different colours on each side you can also have different colours within each section vertically.
Question How much do the doors weigh?
Answer Room divider panels/doors can weigh as much as 40kgs, we recommend at least 2 able bodied people to carry them.
Question How smoothly do they run?
Answer Due to the weight we have utilised tandem rollers, with 2 pairs for each door panel. This ensures an easy and smooth action.
Question Are the Room dividers fire or sound rated?
Answer No our sliding door systems have not had any formal test to warrant a formal claim for fire or sound. However our sliding room divider system if used with coloured or mirror glass, has a double glazed style manufacture, with the added benifiet of 4.00mm of fibreboard inbetween each piece of glass.
Question Where do people use room dividers?
