What is better — sliding or hinged wardrobe in India?+
Sliding wardrobes: better for small bedrooms (no swing space needed), contemporary look, better with mirrors. Cost: ₹1,000–₹2,500/sqft. Hinged wardrobes: full access to entire width at once, more storage options, slightly cheaper. Cost: ₹800–₹2,000/sqft. Choose sliding if: room is under 120 sqft, you want a mirror door, or space is tight. Choose hinged if: room is large, you need pull-out accessories, or prefer traditional layout. Both types offer similar storage volume — it's primarily a space and aesthetic decision.
What is the difference between laminate, acrylic, and PU finish wardrobes?+
Laminate: Most popular, 0.8–1mm thick finish glued on MDF/plywood. Durable, 300+ colour options, resistant to scratches. Lifespan 8–15 years. Most cost-effective. Acrylic/membrane: High-gloss finish with depth and shimmer, flexible (wraps around curved edges), more premium look, slightly less scratch-resistant. Lifespan 8–12 years. PU (Polyurethane): Factory-applied finish, extremely smooth and uniform, high-gloss or matte, most durable and moisture-resistant. Expensive but lasts 15–20+ years. Used in premium homes and luxury projects.
