Door Construction

Inside the sliding door

A sliding door is an assembly rather than a single board. An aluminium profile runs around the perimeter of an 18mm MFC panel — or a mirror — and grips it on all four sides, so the panel is held in a frame rather than hung from hinges. Behind the doors we build a 200mm-wide internal MFC panel frame, finished to match your carcass. That frame is the structural part: it carries the weight of the doors and holds the top and bottom tracks true across the full run, so the load goes into the wardrobe rather than into your wall. Each door runs on its own track, which is what lets them pass one another.

Why this build matters

No floor space given to the doors

The doors travel across the front instead of swinging out, so nothing has to be kept clear in front of the wardrobe. It is the whole reason to choose sliding over hinged in a tight room.

The frame carries the weight, not the wall

A full-height mirror door is heavy. The 200mm MFC frame behind the front takes that load and keeps both tracks in line, which is what stops a long run dropping out of true over time.

The panel is held, not glued on

The aluminium profile grips the panel on all four sides. Nothing is bonded to the face, so there is no edge to lift and the same door can carry board, mirror or glass.

About This Style

The Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe brings timber grain into a sliding design: light oak woodgrain panels with a visible vertical grain, framed in matt black profiles that draw each door as a crisp outline. Shown with a matching oak chest of drawers, it suits a bedroom that wants warmth rather than gloss.

The eleven renders show the woodgrain door in the layouts we offer, including the full panel, Equal 2, Central 3, Central 300 and 400, Two 300 and 400, Low 300 and 400, Top 400 and the Wide 400 band, and four of them swap a door for silver mirror so you can see how the two materials sit together.

The doors are built from premium 18mm MFC E1 Grade woodgrain boards, with silver mirror glass where specified, and run on a soft-close sliding mechanism with anti-jump rollers. A 200mm MFC supporting frame behind the doors carries their weight and is finished to match the carcass.

The layout shown measures 2400mm wide, 2400mm high and 680mm deep with a light oak interior. The internal layout is planned around what you own: double and long hanging, adjustable shelves, soft-close drawers, shoe storage, accessory trays and optional LED lighting.

Every Canterbury is made to measure and precision-manufactured in our Wembley, North London (HA9) workshop and installed by our own team, from the free home design consultation to the finished fit.

Backed by our 10-Year Parts and Labour Guarantee, the Canterbury pairs natural-looking oak with black detailing for a sliding wardrobe that feels closer to furniture than to fitted storage.

Sliding Wardrobes

Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe

The Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe uses a light oak woodgrain board with a strong vertical grain, framed in matt black profiles. On a plain wall the black outline makes each door read as a panel of furniture; add a silver mirror door and the wardrobe lightens without losing its warmth. Eleven layouts are shown, seven in full woodgrain and four with mirror.

How it works: the doors slide horizontally across the front of the wardrobe rather than opening outwards. Behind the sliding system we construct a 200mm-wide internal MFC panel frame, finished to match the selected wardrobe carcass. It carries the weight of the doors and provides a strong, stable structure for the top and bottom tracks they run on.

Black Matt is shown; the profiles are also available in Silver, White, Black Gloss, Champagne, Cashmere and Gun Metal across the Modern, Prestige, Palermo and Supreme ranges. The woodgrain can be swapped for any other woodgrain or plain board in our range, and mirror choices are Silver, Grey and Bronze.

Designed around how you use your room

Your storage is not limited to a row of hanging rails. Depending on your design, your made-to-measure sliding wardrobe can include:

Hanging rails for shirts, dresses and coats

Custom combinations of hanging and shelving

“Excellent from start to finish!! James visited on Saturday to quote and design. On Monday I called to book and today (Wed) 3 people of his team completed my fitted wardrobe. Team was very clean and mindful when moving things around and did an amazing job. Expectations met and exceeded at a very good price. Definitely recommend for high standards.”

“We had 2 wardrobes and a dressing table fitted from Metro. The fitters were very friendly and professional. The fitting team was also knowledgeable and they finished everything sooner than expected. The dressing table was left off of the order, but has been ordered and fitted in few days. Really impressed with the turnaround time with Metro. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend them.”

Alexander JamesGoogle review

“Just got my new fitted wardrobe from these guys and I couldn't be happier! Starting from the design visit to the installation everything was so fast and easy - the designer, Ranto, came to my house and helped me come up with the perfect design that fit my storage needs. He sent me the 3d design on the same day and also, did the changes until I liked the design. Then the fitting team, led by Kinjal, came and installed it all in just a 2 days. I love how my new wardrobe looks - it's exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Metro!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe FAQs

Do sliding doors need clearance in front of the wardrobe?

No. The doors slide horizontally across the front rather than swinging outwards, so no floor space has to be kept clear for a door to open into. It is what makes a sliding wardrobe work opposite a bed or in a narrow room where a hinged door would not.

What is the 200mm frame behind the doors for?

It is structural. Behind the sliding system we build a 200mm-wide internal MFC panel frame that carries the weight of the doors and provides a stable structure for the top and bottom tracks they run on. It is finished in your selected carcass finish so it reads as part of the wardrobe rather than as visible framework.

Why is the Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe deeper than a hinged wardrobe?

It is 680mm deep, the standard depth for a sliding wardrobe. The doors sit on tracks in front of the storage rather than on hinges at its edge, so the running gear takes up depth that a hinged wardrobe does not need. In return you lose no floor space in front of it.

Is the woodgrain real timber?

It is a woodgrain-textured MFC board, which gives the look and feel of oak with the stability and wipe-clean surface of a fitted wardrobe panel. Our painted timber door ranges use solid ash if you want real timber.

Can the chest of drawers match the wardrobe?

Yes. The chest shown is made in the same light oak board with the same edge detail, and any bedsides or a dressing table can be made to match in the same batch.

How much does the Canterbury Woodgrain Sliding Wardrobe cost?

The layout shown, 2400mm wide, 2400mm high and 680mm deep with a light oak interior, is from £2,448 including VAT, delivery and installation. Every wardrobe is made to measure, so your exact price is confirmed in writing after the free home design visit.
