Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors for Sloping Ceilings

Angled sliding wardrobe doors are designed for spaces where a sloping ceiling cuts across the front of your wardrobe opening.

They provide a made-to-measure solution for loft rooms and angled spaces where standard rectangular doors won’t fit, allowing you to maximise storage while achieving a clean, fitted finish.

Not all sloping ceiling wardrobes require angled doors—understanding the difference is key to choosing the right solution.

Do You Need Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

There are two common types of sloping ceiling wardrobes. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right solution.

1. Openings That Require Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors

• The slope cuts across the front opening
• The doors must be cut to match the ceiling angle
• Typically found in loft conversions with visible sloping ceilings

2. Wardrobes Installed Into the Eaves

• The slope sits behind the doors, inside the wardrobe
• Doors remain square (often shorter height)
• Ideal for low-height loft storage

See our guide to wardrobes for loft room storage (under-eaves sliding wardrobe doors).

What Are Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

Angled sliding wardrobe doors are made-to-measure doors where one or both sides are cut to match the slope of your ceiling.

They are used in loft conversions and angled spaces where standard sliding wardrobe doors cannot be installed.

To ensure strength, alignment, and a clean finish, angled doors are only available in our:

Como collection (full-height panel design).

They are manufactured using aluminium frames, available in finishes including:

• Anodised Silver
• Satin Black
• Gloss White
• Graphite Grey
• Cashmere
• Olive Gold

Are Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors Suitable for Your Space?

Not every sloped opening can accommodate angled sliding wardrobe doors. Before planning your project, confirm your space meets the following requirements:

• At least 50% of the opening must have a flat horizontal ceiling
• A minimum of 3 doors is required
• Installation depth of 80mm
• A plumb and level framework

Not Sure If Your Space Is Suitable?

Send us your measurements and a photo of your space, and we’ll confirm:

• Whether angled doors are suitable
• The best door configuration
• Any limitations you need to consider

Common Angled Door Configurations

Most angled sliding wardrobe doors fall into one of the following layouts:

Single-End Angled

One side slopes, the other is square.

Double-End Angled

Both sides slope towards the centre.

Single-End Requiring Two Angled Doors

Larger openings where the slope affects more than one panel.

How Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors Work

Angled doors operate on a standard sliding system:

• The bottom track carries the weight
• The top track guides the door

Because part of the door is removed to create the angle, some configurations may require additional support systems.

How This Affects Your Wardrobe Interior

If your design requires additional support (such as guide brackets or internal guide tracks), this will influence how your wardrobe interior is planned.

• Shelving may need to be installed at specific heights
• Certain areas must remain clear for door movement
• Interior layouts are not fully flexible

Practical Considerations Before You Start

Confirm Your Space Is Suitable

Before designing your wardrobe, ensure your space meets the suitability requirements outlined above.

Do Not Build the Opening First

One of the most common mistakes is constructing the wardrobe opening before confirming the door design.

Measuring for Angled Sliding Wardrobe Doors

Single-End Angled Opening

Measure:

• Full height
• Full width
• Ceiling width to slope start
• Short height (floor to slope start)
• Length of slope
• Depth of wardrobe
• Any obstructions

Double-End Angled Opening

• Measure the full width and mark the centre point (CP)
• Transfer the centre point to the ceiling using a plumb line

From the centre point:

• Measure along the ceiling to where each slope begins
