| Q A |
What is the difference between room dividers and wardrobe doors? Room dividers have a completley 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. |
