Sliding Wardrobes: Sliding door cupboard does not require any space clearance to open up.

• Door Width Limits

Hinged Wardrobes: Hinged doors are supported on the vertical axis, which sets a maximum limit for the door. Beyond the 600 mm width, the door tends to strain the hinge resulting in a door failure.

• Angular Shutters

Hinged Wardrobes: Hinged doors are crafted to open at any angle while increasing the flexibility and accessibility to every nook and corner.
