DIY Sliding Wardrobes at Mirror Image

Posted on 14/09/2016

Some people who are adamant that they can do it themselves. The trick to dealing with these people is to figure out what they are capable of and give them tasks that don’t exceed that capability. If you want a new fitted sliding wardrobe, whatever you do, don’t take the DIY enthusiast to the timber yard and then let them loose in the attic with a saw, a hammer and some 16 foot lengths of 4-by-2. Instead, contact Mirror Image and have our experts make you a bespoke sliding wardrobe to be delivered for DIY assembly.

Taking the Measurements


The first rule of carpentry and joinery is ‘measure twice, cut once’. Our expert craftsmen will be cutting to your measurements, so the most important thing you need to do is to carefully measure the height and width of your proposed fitted wardrobe before you place an order. Once you have all the measurements, visit one of our showrooms and our team will help you find the perfect sliding wardrobe door.


Crafting Your DIY Wardrobe


We can supply any of our sliding wardrobe range for DIY installation, so you’ll have just as wide a choice as all our customers do. We cut your sliding wardrobe doors to size in our Norwich workshop – our DIY wardrobes are crafted in the same way as all of our fitted wardrobes, so you can be sure of a high quality product every time. 


Delivering or Collecting the Parts


You can collect your new sliding doors from your nearest Mirror Image showroom, or we can deliver them to your home. We offer free delivery to all properties within a 20 mile radius of our showrooms; outside this area a small delivery charge will apply.


Assembling our DIY Sliding Wardrobes


We recommend that two people carry out the assembly of your new sliding wardrobe, as the parts will be large and can be heavy. Our units are easy to assemble for anyone with a reasonable knowledge and competency in DIY. At the end of the day, you will have a beautiful fitted wardrobe and the DIY enthusiast in your life will be able to say to themself (and any admiring guests) “I made that!”
