Whats the difference between sliding and hinged wardrobe doors?

Sliding doors glide on tracks and need no floor clearance, ideal for tight spaces. Hinged doors swing outward and require 60–90cm clearance in front. Sliding doors cost slightly more but maximise usable room space, especially in bedrooms under 3.5 metres wide.

How much space do you need in front of a sliding wardrobe?

Sliding wardrobes require virtually no floor clearance since doors glide along overhead and base tracks. You only need enough space to open drawers comfortably—typically 30–40cm. This makes them ideal for bedrooms with limited floor space or furniture placement options.

What internal fittings come with Rauch Sliding Wardrobes?

Most Rauch models include hanging rails, fixed shelves, and sometimes soft-close drawers. Internal layouts vary significantly by model. Always check the product specification sheet before ordering to confirm rail position, shelf quantity, and whether drawers are included.

Are Rauch Sliding Wardrobes delivered assembled or flat-pack?

Most require self-assembly and typically take 2–4 hours with two people. The main carcase arrives pre-assembled; youll install doors, rails, and shelves. Ready-assembled options are available on selected models and clearly marked. Full instructions are provided with every unit.

How long does delivery take on Rauch Sliding Wardrobes?

Standard delivery is 5–10 working days. Express and next-day options are available on selected in-stock models. Large wardrobes over 2.5 metres wide may require scheduled 2-person delivery. Delivery method and timing are confirmed at checkout based on your postcode.

What measurements do I need to take before buying a sliding wardrobe?

Measure wall width (floor to ceiling), room height, and depth behind the wardrobe (typically 58–62cm needed). Check ceiling height for track clearance. Note wall obstructions like radiators or plug sockets. Provide floor-to-skirting height. These measurements ensure the wardrobe fits your exact space.

Are Rauch Sliding Wardrobes suitable for small bedrooms?

Yes, theyre ideal for compact spaces. Sliding doors require no swing clearance, so they work in rooms as narrow as 2 metres. The space-saving design means you can position beds or furniture closer to the wardrobe. Mirrored sliding doors can also make small rooms feel larger.

Can you change the internal shelving in a Rauch Sliding Wardrobe?

Most Rauch models have adjustable shelving within the carcase frame. Fixed shelves cannot be relocated, but shelves on pegs are moveable. Check the product specification to confirm which shelves adjust. Modifications after delivery may require contacting Rauch customer support for specific models.

Whats the best way to maintain a sliding wardrobe door?

Clean tracks monthly with a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Wipe door panels with a microfibre cloth; use glass cleaner on mirrored doors. Check track alignment if doors stick. Avoid forcing doors; they should glide smoothly. Lubricate tracks annually with silicone spray for optimal operation.

Do Rauch Sliding Wardrobes come with a warranty?

Rauch wardrobes typically include a 5-year manufacturers warranty covering structural defects and hardware. Warranty terms vary by model and finish. Check the product documentation or contact our customer service for exact coverage details for your specific wardrobe model.
