Slide Wardrobes Direct

Made-to-measure sliding wardrobe doors from Nottingham

Slide Wardrobes Direct is a British company dedicated to the design and manufacture of sliding wardrobe doors, both made-to-measure and in standard-size kits. The company presents itself as one of the leading sliding door manufacturers and suppliers in the UK and operates from Nottingham. Its catalogue is organised around made-to-measure doors, standard kits, modular interiors and bedroom furniture.

Origins and history: from Heritage Cabinet Makers to Slide Wardrobes Direct

The company began trading in 1997 under the name Heritage Cabinet Makers, focusing on the design and manufacture of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and even studies. From 1999 it secured several contracts to supply kitchens and bathrooms for renovated buildings in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, and began receiving private commissions for full house refurbishments. That period gave it experience in both the construction sector and furniture manufacturing. In 2008, Slide Wardrobes Direct was launched as a natural evolution of the previous business.

Made-to-measure doors and standard-size kits

The site allows you to design made-to-measure sliding doors using an online tool, or to purchase standard-size kits. The kits are grouped by number of doors and opening range:

• 2 Door Kits: opening size 1145mm - 1816mm.
• 3 Door Kits: opening size 1680mm - 2718mm.
• 4 Door Kits: opening size 2290mm - 3632mm.

The buying process is described in four steps: measure your space and choose from doors and interiors; design and buy using the online designer; manufacture and deliver with our own delivery team; and fit the doors with basic DIY skills.
