With our continued growth we have been able to add to our product range by introducing our new Premium doors and Supreme doors, and on top of this, we have restructured our website to make it more accessible on mobiles, tablets and various different platforms.

As we move ever closer to 2015, Sliding Robes look forward to starting new projects and of course finishing projects which have been in the pipeline for a considerable amount of time now. If you aren’t sure what we mean then head over to http://www.kitchensandbedroomsdirect.com/ and you will be able to tell straight away what have been working on recently.

Digital Media - Moving Forward

There’s been some massive changes at Sliding Robes Direct recently as we look to broaden our product range and bring you more and more. Even though our up and coming website http://www.kitchensandbedroomsdirect.com/ has taken some minor set backs after a proposed October/November launch, we are still hopeful of getting it live in 2014 and showing you our beautiful kitchen and bedroom range.

Kitchens and bedrooms aside, Sliding Robes have been extremely busy working on things wardrobe related and looking for ways in which we can improve the service we offer. 

Some companies like to chuck products and marketing at you without showing you the true benefits of their products and how they work but we don’t like to do this. We are all about giving something back to our customers and showing you the true value of choosing us as a company.

In the modern era, online media is becoming one of the most valuable tools for companies like ourselves who want to engage with our customers and show them various different things. Sliding Robes have been looking for new ways to do this and think we have found the answer.

Introducing George Clarke & Omega PLC

Everybody loves a TV celebrity. Especially one who is exceptionally talented and recognised in the field of what they do. 

As you can see from the heading above, we have been hard at work developing our relationship with George Clarke, and thankfully for you, our trusty customers, we have managed to take giant leaps forward and come up with new ways in which we can bring you more.

So for those of you who don’t know, George Clarke is an architect and the Creative Director of architectural practice George Clarke and Partners. He is also a recognised TV presenter, as well as a writer and lecturer. With his love for architecture and all things design, George Clarke was the perfect candidate to fulfill our media role.

George Clarke - Creative Director, Presenter, Writer, Lecturer

Going forward, George Clarke will be the face of Sliding Robes Direct videos, as well as Kitchens and Bedrooms Direct videos. These videos will cover various different aspects of the interior design world, something George loves and something which he is very keen to teach others about.

With his impressive background in architecture and his passion for teaching, we are sure you will love the videos we will be providing you with in the coming months.

Omega PLC

It doesn’t stop there though, we are still looking to bring you more, and Omega PLC are a big part of this.

George Clarke is the brand ambassador of Omega PLC (a company which we have admired for a long time), and by working closely with both George Clarke and Omega PLC, we are hoping that Kitchens and Bedrooms Direct will be a massive success in the future.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Omega PLC, they design, manufacture, and market, beautiful kitchens and kitchen furniture. Once up and running properly, Kitchens and Bedrooms Direct will be proud suppliers of the Omega PLC range, which means you will be able to purchase and enjoy beautiful modern and classic kitchens which feature the latest innovations and design features.

It’s exciting times for us moving forward as we develop relationships with TV celebs and expand our product range to include luxurious kitchens and kitchen furniture.

We’ll keep you posted on developments soon in regards to both Omega products and videos from George Clarke, but we are sure it won’t be long until we are able to show you new innovative products and online media.

Thanks for reading, we’ll check back in soon.

Changes at Sliding Robes Direct

There’s been quite a few changes recently at Sliding Robes Direct and a few which we’d love to tell you about. Before we start however, we’d like to remind you that our upcoming website http://www.kitchensandbedroomsdirect.com/ is still under construction but we are currently making final tweaks and hoping to be live before the end of the month.

Online Shop

It’s all systems go at Sliding Robes though, as we have recently introduced some great new products and website features. First up is the “reconstruction” of our ‘Online Shop’, which some of you might have seen. This now looks more like this..  

We made the changes to our online-shop purposefully to allow for easier functioning of the site, and as we have recently added some new products, it seemed only fitting to give our shop the much deserved uplift it needed. It’s far more easier to navigate to items you are looking for which in turn, allows for ease of purchasing. Pop over and see for yourself:- https://slidingrobesdirect.com/shop

Soft Close Upgrades

Here at Sliding Robes we always try to give you as much as possible in terms of what you can buy and what you can achieve. Because of this, we have introduced ‘Soft close’ upgrades, which are available on all standard sized doors.

After you have played with our design tool and chosen your perfect wardrobe, you will be able to see a screen similar to the one below which gives you the option to upgrade to Soft Close Track Systems. For £50 per door, you can get your hands on a higher quality of track which minimises sound and allows for a far more elegant sliding experience.  

Supreme & Premium Doors

As we move forward into a new generation where high quality interiors mean everything, Sliding Robes have used our innovative minds to bring you more.

More doesn’t always mean better though, but in this circumstance, it definitely does. With the introduction of our Supreme and Premium Doors, we give you more to choose from, and with these new choices comes deluxe builds and high quality manufacturing. As you can see below, our Supreme Sliding Doors are truly magnificent and will add a touch of class to any bedroom or home:- https://slidingrobesdirect.com/standard_doors/supreme

Budget Doors

Sliding Robes love catering for everyones needs.

In essence, we are the hosts of a party and you beautiful people are the attendee’s. Now we aren’t physically capable of throwing a party with an open bar, but we are able to bring you quality drinks at low, low prices. And by drinks, we mean Sliding Wardrobe Doors of course.

By joining our online party, you will be able to discover our fantastic new range of wardrobe doors, which has been originally dubbed, ‘Budget’.

This range of doors has been specifically brought in for people who need a more spacious wardrobe, those who want to utilize their space, and those who have a restricted budget.

Now you can purchase your dream wardrobe for a reduced cost!

New Panel Colours

Before we leave, we have one more thing to tell you about.

On top of the other changes we have been talking about, we have also introduced new panel colours within our Made to Measure Range.

This includes: Linen, Wood & Blue Shadow, and Grey Mirror Glass Colours.

Make sure you visit us online and have a play about with our new features and discover our new products as you do so.

If you would like more information about any of our new website features please be sure to give us a call on: 0845 869 6737.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Made to Measure Reflex Sliding Doors

Sliding Robes Direct are one of the best in the home furnishing business. We offer a range of furniture options for your house, which are only of the highest quality.

One such product is the reflex sliding doors. These are made to measure sliding wardrobe doors which can make a very nice addition to the home and will provide a customised look to any bedroom. They fit excellently into any home.

The reflex frame is made from aluminium which is a very good material for them to be composed of as it is durable and lasts for a long time. Essentially, this means that you save money when you buy these doors as you will not have to buy a replacement for a long time.

With 12 different glass panel finishes and 8 wood effect finishes available, we supply a fine array of options for customising these sliding doors. This is useful as it means you can put your own personal touch to your bedroom and really give it some charisma which it by all means deserves.


The sliding doors are easy to manipulate and slide without any problems and are quite convenient and easily accessible for accessing the contents of your wardrobe efficiently. They have a horizontal handrail in the middle of them for opening the product which again adds to its simplicity. This is just one of the many key features of the product.

Furthermore, being made to measure means it will fit into your bedroom perfectly and it will be just the size you need, which is something rival wardrobes cannot match. The chance to design your own sliding doors is one which should not be passed up. They can be easily adjusted as well for optimum comfort and simplicity. They are a great product with many positive attributes.

Evolution at Sliding Robes

OUR BUSINESS IS EVOLVING

After spending a long period of the 21st century providing our customers with high-end, top class sliding wardrobes, it’s time for us to evolve! Don’t worry though, we aren't taking away our fantastic sliding doors or beautiful accessory range. We are, in fact, bringing you a brand-spanking-new website. Behold - http://www.kitchensandbedroomsdirect.com/ -

Currently, the website is under construction so for the meantime we are still bringing you quality products, special offers and discounted prices through our Sliding Robes Direct store! The opportunity to tell you about our exciting new future was there, so I decided to take it!

As we enter a new era in our business lifetime, we are as committed as ever to bringing you fantastic products and high quality accessories at discount prices. With ongoing sales and ‘prices off’ our sliding door range, we know we have the edge in a competitive market… With that being said, we have moved forward into a generation that incorporates new trends and modern design techniques. Houses are becoming spaceships that even aliens of another planet would recognise as home if they came to earth. Well, potentially.

With our foundations in place and our plans for expansion, the team at Sliding Robes Direct are optimistic about what the future holds for us as a company, and individuals working within. We each possess fantastic design skills, experience and the appropriate qualifications to deliver budget, luxury and bespoke kitchens and bedrooms all over the country. With our skill-sets and ideas moving forward, we hope to combine and utilise them both, to achieve fantastic things in the near future.  

When it comes to bedrooms and kitchens we have an equally as good eye as we do for wardrobe design. As a company, we possess raw talent and a great understanding of design, kitchens, bedrooms and the vast concepts that come with them. Our plans are massive and we won’t hold back as we plunge feet first into a market full of creative designers and technically excellent artists.

We plan to bring new ideas to the table, value for money, high quality, and as always, excellent customer service to match. Keep your eyes peeled for the launch of our second site - http://www.kitchensandbedroomsdirect.com/ and even further in the future, there’s every possibility we could be bringing you a 3rd website…. Watch this space...

THE ADVANTAGES OF SLIDING WARDROBE DOORS

Here at Sliding Robes Direct we are firm believers that the sliding wardrobe has far more benefit than that of your conventional wardrobe. With a choice of finishes and colours available, the properties of sliding wardrobes are similar to stand alone wardrobes, but there is much more to consider when you are thinking about purchasing a sliding one…

1) Space saver - It might seem like you are cutting off a large chunk of your room to have your sliding wardrobe doors installed but in actual fact you are saving space, due to the fact you will no longer have doors that extend out into your room. This means much less space is needed to be left in between your wardrobe and other features of your room.

2) Holding your own weight - You can attach full length mirrors and other accessories to your sliding doors without the worry of damaging the hinges. Stand-alone wardrobe doors are limited to the weight they can maintain as they are held up by just a few hinges. Sliding wardrobes and much more beneficial in this department as they can hold far more weight than your conventional wardrobes.

3) Broader openings - You can gain access to far more of your wardrobe in one go as you slide your doors wide open. With normal wardrobes you can’t do this as you usually have to close one door to open another. Because of the broader openings, you can fit your wardrobes with internal storage systems which are practical and look good too!

4) Not just a modern look - Sliding wardrobes are generally considered a modern answer to bedroom storage but with so many different images and finishes available, you can find a match for your more traditional home.

5)  Limitless - Sliding Wardrobes aren't just limited to your bedroom. You can use them all over your home as a principle feature of practical storage space. Thinking of de-cluttering your garage and making it more spacious? Install sliding doors and keep everything in one neat and tidy place.

6) In your Living Room - In the modern age, living rooms have a tendency to accumulate lots of DVD’s, CD’s, magazines and new technologies. Most of the time, these things are kept of shelves or left on some kind of surface e.g coffee table. sliding wardrobes offer you the opportunity to create a media hub where all your items can be stored in one dust-free and damage protected place.

7) Hallways - Every hallway in every house is susceptible to a bit of mayhem, in terms of coating, bags and shoes. Install a sliding wardrobe and you will instantly have a place to store all these things, as well as hats, scarves and gloves, without the cluttered appearance that you would get without one.

Hopefully this has given you more of an insight into why sliding wardrobes are so popular and maybe convinced you into purchasing one yourself in the near future!

SLIDING ROBES DIRECT WEBSITE UPDATES & THE LAUNCH OF INTERIOR FURNISHINGS DIRECT SUMMER 2014

SLIDING ROBES DIRECT WEBSITE UPDATES & THE LAUNCH OF INTERIOR FURNISHINGS DIRECT SUMMER 2014
