Why Choose Extra Tall Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

Maximise Vertical Storage

Extra height allows you to fully utilise space above standard wardrobe levels.

Create a True Floor-to-Ceiling Look

Extra tall doors eliminate visual gaps, creating a seamless built-in appearance.

For inspiration, see floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobe doors.

Ideal for High Ceilings & Awkward Spaces

Perfect for:

• Period homes
• Mill/loft conversions
• Modern builds with higher ceilings

Real Example: When Extra Tall Doors Make a Difference

Extra tall sliding wardrobe doors are especially popular in mill/loft conversions and period homes where ceiling heights exceed 2500mm.

Using doors up to 2480mm in these spaces can leave an awkward gap above the wardrobe. Extra tall doors remove this and create a seamless built-in finish.

Practical Considerations

Door Proportions

• Wider = fewer doors
• Narrower = easier handling

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Extra Tall Doors

Cost Considerations

Extra tall sliding wardrobe doors typically cost around £80 more per door due to increased size.

Comparing the Alternative: Bulkheads & Height Reduction

An alternative is reducing the opening height using a bulkhead or plinth. However, this often involves:

• Materials (timber, plasterboard, fixings)
• Labour and finishing
• Decorating
• Reduced storage space

In many cases, this can cost more than the additional £80 per door.

A bulkhead can also interrupt the clean lines of a room, whereas extra tall sliding wardrobe doors create a seamless, built-in finish.

Is It Worth Choosing Extra Tall Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

Extra tall sliding wardrobe doors are a worthwhile upgrade if your ceiling height allows.

They are ideal if you want:

• Floor-to-ceiling design
• More storage
• A modern, built-in look
