WHICH WARDROBE SIZE DO I NEED?

This will depend on:

  • the size of room the wardrobe is going into,
  • how many people are going to use it,
  • how much space you need for clothes.

You need to:

  • measure your space carefully from floor to ceiling and the length of wall available,
  • take account of radiators, electric sockets, windows and curtain rails to make sure, that the wardrobe will fit in,
  • allow 8 cm clearance above your wardrobe and a 4 cm clearance at floor level to one side of the wardrobe. (This is critical if you are fitting between walls (alcove), or fixed objects).

WHICH DOOR TYPE DO I NEED FOR MY WARDROBE?

You can choose between different styles of doors depending on:

  • ease of usage,
  • space requirements,
  • maintenance

The following door types are available:

Hinged and folding door wardrobes

Please consider the space in your room to open the doors comfortably to access your clothes. Hinged doors do allow you to look into your wardrobe to see everything in one go.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR ACCESSORIES

  • Rauch wardrobes have multi-bore interior panels allowing maximum flexibility in using extra interior options.
  • Shelves can be fastened and moved to many different positions. They are not connected to the back panel to allow this flexibility and change of height as you change your requirements. The maximum loading capacity of a shelf is 15 – 20 kg, depending on the wardrobe.
  • Hanging rails can be secured at many points (usually best below a shelf). You can use two hanging rails above one another in all of our full hanging sections (i.e. no external or internal drawer sets), but consider the length of your clothes/items.
  • Interior drawers should normally be standing on the wardrobe base. They offer excellent additional drawer storage. Please note that there are sometimes restrictions on where they can be used on sliding door robes (your local retailer should be able to advise).
  • ½ / ½ dividers can be used to split up a wardrobe section into part shelving and part hanging as you desire.
  • Soft close door function is often possible with the use of our ‘soft close’ mechanism or hinges. In some cases, these are included either in our range or by the retailer.
  • Other extras – Lights, rails, racks etc. Options are possible depending on ranges but you need the advice offered by your local retailer.
