York Sliding Wardrobe London

The York is the one that shows what a horizontal configuration can do. Each of its two doors is divided into bands — walnut woodgrain top and bottom, frosted glass through the middle — with black rails drawing the lines between them. It is closer to a piece of joinery than to a wardrobe front.

How it works: the bands are separate panels held in a black aluminium framework rather than a pattern printed on one board. Walnut woodgrain on 18mm MFC fills the top and bottom, frosted mirror glass fills the middle, and the rails between them are structural as well as visual. Both doors run on their own tracks behind the 200mm-wide MFC supporting frame.

Frosted glass rather than clear mirror is what makes the banding work. It returns light without returning a reflection, so the horizontal rhythm stays readable instead of dissolving into a picture of the room — and the walnut bands top and bottom give the composition somewhere to land.

Designed around how you use your room

Two wide doors rather than three narrow ones means two deep bays behind them, which changes how the inside is planned. Depending on your design, the York can include:

• Long-hang sections for coats and dresses
• Double-hang runs for shirts and jackets
• Adjustable shelves
• Internal drawers
• Shoe storage
• Accessory compartments
• Internal lighting
• Full-height storage above the hanging rails

Built for everyday use: the York shown here is finished in walnut woodgrain inside and out and measures 3000mm wide × 2400mm high × 600mm deep, with two doors rather than three so each band runs uninterrupted across a wide leaf.

The run is built to your room, and the band proportions are set at design stage rather than taken from a standard — how deep the walnut sections are and where the glass begins is part of the drawing, not a fixed template.

Horizontal is only one arrangement. The same framework can be set out vertically, mixed with mirror instead of frosted glass, and framed in Silver, White, Black Gloss, Black Matt, Champagne, Cashmere or Gun Metal.

Manufactured in our Wembley workshop

Your wardrobe is made to measure and precision-manufactured in our HA9 Wembley factory. A banded door is the most demanding thing we make in this range. Every rail has to line up across both leaves, so that when the doors sit closed the horizontals read as continuous lines rather than as two separate doors pushed together.

Our beam saw plans the walnut cut so the grain runs consistently across both doors, intelligent CNC and 6-side drilling machine the framework and fixing points, and industrial edge-banding finishes each component.

Every wardrobe is measured and designed around your actual room before manufacture and professional installation.

Quality you can rely on: your Metro fitted wardrobe comes with a 10-Year Parts and Labour Guarantee, giving you additional confidence in your investment.
