Do you remove the wardrobe to wrap it?

No. Doors come off their tracks or hinges to wrap flat on a bench, but the carcass stays in place. Most built-ins are done in a day.

Can you wrap over mirrored sliding doors?

We wrap the door frames and any solid panels. Full mirror faces are usually left as mirror or replaced with a solid insert — we'll talk through the options at the measure.

Will the film peel like the old vinyl wardrobe doors I remember?

Those were factory thermofoil, a thin heat-shrunk coating that lifts at the edges over time. Architectural film is a different product bonded and edge-sealed on site, backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.

What finishes are available?

3M DI-NOC, Bodaq, Cover Styl, and LX Benif ranges — matte, timber grain, linen, stone, and solid colours including whites that match modern joinery.

How much cheaper is this than replacing the wardrobe?

A fraction of the cost of new joinery, with no demolition, no waste removal, and no weeks of waiting on a cabinetmaker.

Coogee context

What built-in wardrobe wrapping looks like in Coogee

Coogee's walk-up blocks and beachside flats churn through tenants often, and property managers here are used to compressed turnaround windows between one lease ending and the next starting. A wardrobe wrap fits that timeline in a way a full replacement never could — no ordering lead time, no trades to coordinate, just a single day on site. Many of these units still carry the original 1970s-90s built-in wardrobes, laminate or timber veneer that's held up structurally but looks its age. Because nothing is demolished or rebuilt, there's no strata paperwork and no noise complaint risk for neighbouring units.

Our process — same standard, every booking

1
Free measure & film selection
We measure every door and panel on site and go through film samples — matte, timber grain, linen, stone — so you're picking a finish you've actually held, not a swatch on a screen.
2
Surface prep & degrease
Doors come off, hardware comes out, and every face is degreased and sanded back so the film has a clean surface to bond to.
3
Precision wrap & edge sealing
Film is applied door by door with heat-formed edges — no lifting corners, no visible seams on flat faces.
4
QA walkthrough
Doors are rehung, hardware refitted and aligned, and we walk the whole wardrobe with you before we call it done.
