Wardrobe installation Bryanston

In South Africa the terms overlap. A built-in cupboard is fitted to the wall and floor and stays with the house. A wardrobe can also mean a freestanding or semi-fitted unit that could be moved. Both are built by the same carpenters.

Fitted wardrobes cost around R3,500 to R6,500 per running metre supplied and installed in Bryanston, depending on doors and internals. Fitting a wardrobe you have already bought typically costs R800 to R2,000 in labour.

Sliding doors save floor space and suit narrow rooms but only open half the wardrobe at once. Hinged doors give full access and are easier to repair. Mirror sliders are popular for making a small bedroom feel bigger.

A mix of long and short hanging rails, adjustable shelving, a few drawers for smaller items and a top shelf for seasonal storage covers most needs. Shoe racks, pull-out baskets and LED lighting are common upgrades.

A single fitted wardrobe is usually installed in a day once manufactured. Assembling and fitting a flat-pack wardrobe takes two to four hours depending on size.
