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.

Built-in wardrobe wrapping in Marrickville

Marrickville's converted warehouses and workers' cottages both tend to have wardrobes that were fitted well after the original building, in a style that's now its own kind of dated. Wrapping brings them back in line with the rest of the space.

Marrickville context

What built-in wardrobe wrapping looks like in Marrickville

Marrickville's warehouse and factory conversions from the 2000s often included built-in wardrobes finished in a gloss or laminate that matched the industrial-loft aesthetic of the time — polished but dated fifteen-plus years on against exposed brick and steel that's aged better. The suburb's original workers' cottages have their own built-ins too, usually simpler timber units added by a previous owner rather than the original builder. A film wrap suits both: it updates the surface finish without needing to match new cabinetry to an irregular original space, and there's no demolition dust to manage in either a converted loft or a small cottage bedroom.

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.
