How Much Do Sliding Wardrobe Doors Cost?

Sliding wardrobe doors cost noticeably more per panel than hinged doors, and the reason is straightforward: each panel is larger, and it depends on a track system that has to keep working smoothly for years. This guide sets out realistic UK figures for board, wood effect, mirrored and glass panels, explains what the track adds and why a soft close top hung system costs more than a basic bottom rolling one, and covers typical fitting charges. It also shows how to measure an opening properly, including the floor and ceiling checks that catch problems before panels are ordered, and looks at when replacing doors on an existing carcase stops making financial sense against a complete new wardrobe. We finish with the small maintenance habits that keep the doors gliding....

It covers removing a heavy mirrored panel safely with two people and why a large mirror must always be carried vertically rather than flat, then how to clean and check the tracks before fitting the new door and adjust the height screws so the gaps run parallel. There is also guidance on recognising when worn rollers or a distorted track are the real fault, options for switching to non mirrored panels, and how to dispose of old mirror glass correctly....
