When to choose sliding doors
They work well in a narrow passage, where an open door would clash with a bed or the front door. Large panels can also carry a mirror.
The track system takes up part of the depth, and the overlapping doors always cover a section of the wardrobe.
The advantages of hinged doors
They give full access to several modules, are easy to divide into narrow doors and can have different handles. The inside of the door can also be used.
You need to check the space in front of the wardrobe and any clashes with lighting, walls and neighbouring doors.
Looks and divisions
Sliding doors create large fields, while hinged doors can look like a rhythmic floor-to-ceiling wall. Both systems can be finished with mirror, laminate, lacquer or veneer.
In hallways in Silesian apartment blocks we often combine a closed wardrobe with a bench, an open niche and shoe drawers.
Deciding after the survey
We measure the width of the passage, the depth of the alcove, the position of doors and the skirting boards. Only then can the capacity of both options be compared honestly.
If space allows, we plan the interior before choosing the doors: function should lead the look.
Frequently asked questions
Which wardrobe is shallower?
Hinged doors usually take up less construction depth than a sliding system.
Can sliding doors go up to the ceiling?
Yes, but the height, weight and straightness of the ceiling must suit the chosen system.
