Choosing a closet
Here are a few general tips for choosing a mirrored wardrobe:
- The closet is ordered according to your individual measurements. Think about where you would like to set it, how much space it should be allocated and how large it should be.
- Instead of the walls and the bottom, there may be walls and floor of your room; there is only one restriction: walls should not be drywall.
- When choosing mirrors, give priority to European manufacturers, in particular the Czech Republic, because their glass is considered to be of the highest quality.
- There are two types of door opening mechanism: the door that moves along the groove on the rollers and the door where the rollers are moving along the monorail. The second option is more reliable, but it will also cost more.
- The material of the profiles along which the door moves is also important. The aluminum version is less noisy, but the steel is more reliable and durable.
- The rollers on which the door travels must not be plastic. The optimal version of the material for them will be metal, in extreme cases - plastic coated with Teflon.
- Sliding doors should not be very wide, otherwise it will be inconvenient to use them. Their approximate width is up to 1 meter.
