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 Surry Hills

Surry Hills mixes tight Victorian terraces with converted warehouse apartments, and the built-in wardrobes in both tend to be squeezed into whatever space was left over. Wrapping works with that footprint rather than against it.

Surry Hills context

What built-in wardrobe wrapping looks like in Surry Hills

Terrace bedrooms in Surry Hills are often narrow enough that a built-in wardrobe runs the full width of one wall, fitted decades ago in whatever timber or laminate was standard at the time. Converted warehouse apartments nearby sometimes have later built-ins added during a 1990s or 2000s fitout, finished in a style that no longer matches the rest of the apartment. Either way, a film wrap updates the finish without needing to pull the carcass out of a tight terrace stairwell or coordinate lift access in a converted building. It's also a quiet job — no demolition, no dust sheeting through the rest of a small terrace.

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.
