Ivory high gloss fitted wardrobe with six full-height doors and slim black bar handles, beside a floating dressing table and lit mirror in an oak-slat recess, made to measure in London

Door Construction

Inside the Phoenix door

The Phoenix is an edged door, not a wrapped one. An 18mm E1-grade MDF board is cut to your door size, a high-gloss foil is bonded flat to the face under pressure with a polyurethane reactive adhesive, and a 1mm ABS edge is fused to all four sides: matching the face, or in a multiplex or glass-effect line if you want the edge to show. It is the construction the trade uses where doors get the hardest use, because a bonded edge shrugs off knocks that would mark a softer surface.

Why this build matters

The edge is the difference

A wrapped door folds one skin around the edge; an edged door fuses a separate 1mm ABS strip to the cut board. The strip is tougher than the face and takes the knocks a wardrobe edge collects, which is why the Edged collection is our most wear-resistant surface.

A gloss that stays flat

Gloss magnifies any ripple beneath it. The Phoenix face is bonded to a dead-flat MDF core under pressure, so reflections run straight across a whole run of doors.

Scratch resistance built in

The gloss foil is specified for high scratch resistance and the core for durability, so the face stands up to daily use in a family bedroom rather than only looking good on day one.

Safe for indoor air

E1-grade MDF emits well below the formaldehyde threshold set for European homes, and the core carries FSC accreditation.

About This Style

Ivory high gloss is the warm answer to a white wardrobe wall. This run is built on the Phoenix door from our Edged collection in high gloss ivory: six full-height doors from floor to ceiling with slim black bar handles, beside a floating dressing table and a lit mirror set into an oak-slat recess, with the coffered ceiling light washing down the gloss face. The reflection lifts a north-facing London bedroom without the clinical edge that pure white can bring.

How it works: the Phoenix is an edged door. An 18mm E1-grade MDF board is cut to size, a high-gloss foil is bonded flat to the face under pressure, and a 1mm ABS edge is fused to all four sides, matching the face or in a multiplex or glass-effect line. The board is specified for high scratch resistance and a highly durable core, and the doors can be made to measure up to 2400mm high and 1200mm wide. Shown with slim black bar handles; an integrated top-edge handle rail is available if you prefer no handles on the face.

Make it yours: a choice of high-gloss finishes including white, ivory, cashmere, light grey, dust grey, graphite, black and metallic anthracite, with interiors in any of our carcass colours. Floor-to-ceiling runs, dressing tables, drawer towers and over-bed bridges are all cut to your exact room in our Wembley workshop.

Every high-gloss wardrobe is designed at a free home visit, made to measure in North London, and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.

High Gloss Fitted Wardrobes London

Warm gloss for rooms that get used, not just looked at

High gloss earns its place in a London bedroom by doing what paint cannot: a wall of reflective doors returns daylight to a north-facing room and makes a modest bedroom read a size larger. Ivory is the warmest of the gloss colours, a soft cream that sits with oak slats, timber doors and natural textiles without the cool cast of white, which is why it is the finish shown here beside an oak-slat dressing recess.

The Phoenix is the door to choose when that gloss has to last. It is cut and edged rather than wrapped: the gloss face is bonded flat to an 18mm E1-grade core and a 1mm ABS edge is fused to every side, so the corners that take the knocks are the hardest part of the door. Designed at your home, made in our Wembley workshop and fitted by our own team, with a 10-year guarantee.

Where We Work

High gloss fitted wardrobes across London and the Home Counties

Metro's workshop and showroom are in Wembley, North London (HA9), and we design and install high gloss fitted wardrobes throughout Greater London and the surrounding counties. A gloss run is measured to the millimetre at the free home design visit, because a reflective face shows any gap or step that a matt door would hide.

Frequently Asked Questions

High gloss fitted wardrobes: your questions answered

What is an edged wardrobe door?

A door made by cutting an 18mm board to size, bonding the face finish to it and fusing a separate 1mm ABS edge to all four sides, rather than wrapping one skin around the whole door. The Phoenix is the high-gloss door in our Edged collection.

Is a bonded gloss door as good as a wrapped gloss door?

For a bedroom that gets used, it is the tougher choice. The fused ABS edge is harder than the face and takes the knocks a wardrobe edge collects, and the face is specified for high scratch resistance. A wrapped door has a seamless corner; an edged door has a stronger one.

Does high gloss show fingermarks?

Around handles, yes, on any gloss surface, which is why this run uses slim bar handles so fingers never touch the face. Ivory is more forgiving than white or black because marks show less against a warm tone. A soft dry cloth keeps the face bright and it never needs polishing; if you would rather avoid marks altogether, our door library also has matt finishes, which your designer can show at the home visit.

Ivory or white: which gloss should I choose?

Ivory is the warmer of the two. It reads as a soft cream beside white walls and sits comfortably with oak, walnut and natural textiles, whereas white gloss is crisper and suits grey or monochrome rooms. Both reflect light in the same way; ivory simply does it without the cool cast. Your designer brings both samples to the free home visit so you can see them against your own walls.

Which colours does the Phoenix come in?

A choice of high-gloss finishes including white, ivory, cashmere, light grey, dust grey, graphite, black and metallic anthracite; the full range is shown in the finish panel on this page. The edge can match the face, or be specified as a multiplex or glass-effect line if you want the edge to read as a fine detail.

How much does a high gloss fitted wardrobe cost in London?

A wardrobe about two metres wide starts at £1,800 at Level 3 of our price guide and reaches £7,440 at Level 12, including VAT, delivery and installation; the width of the run, the door style and what goes inside set the figure. The six-door run shown, with the dressing table and lit mirror, sits in the middle of that range. Your exact figure is confirmed in a written itemised quotation after the free home design visit.

Are Metro wardrobes made in the UK?

Yes. Every wardrobe is made in our own Wembley, North London workshop and installed by our own fitters, with a 10-year guarantee.
