What are your FITTED wardrobes CAMDEN made from?

We are doing a series of blog posts with some of our most commonly asked questions.

This is the first in the series with more to follow

We often get asked 'what are your wardrobes made from?'

We use a range of materials for our London fitted wardrobes and bespoke cabinets.

Fitted wardrobes can be made from a variety of materials, and the choice often depends on personal preference, budget, and the overall style of the room. Here are some common materials we use in the construction of our fitted wardrobes:

1. Particleboard or MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard): These engineered wood products are often used for anything to be painted, we often make doors, panels and frames of the wardrobe. We use fibropaint which has a paintable veneer applied to the surface which gives a flat stable surface ready to be top coat painted
   
2. Melamine / MFC: MFC stands for melamine faced chipboard. A laminate that is often used to cover particleboard or chipboard. It's available in a variety of colors and finishes, making it a versatile choice. Chipboard had a bad stigma, from the 80's flat pack era, but its a completely different product today. The boards are thicker and produced to a higher standard, the laminates used are also thicker, more durable and have a far nicer aesthetic quality. Its very stable and is the most common product we use for carcasses and shelving. It is also environmentally friendly being produced from recycled materials
3. Plywood: Plywood is a strong and durable material made by layering thin sheets of wood. It's a popular choice for when timber is to be used in furniture, including wardrobes. It is also has a very stylised look with its light birch face. 
4. Solid Wood: For a more luxurious and traditional look, some fitted wardrobes are made from solid wood, such as oak, walnut, or mahogany. Solid wood is expensive for large cabinets to be manufactured from, and is considered far less stable than some of the other materials we often use. We rarely make large items from solid timbers. 
5. Glass: Glass can be used for doors or as decorative elements in fitted wardrobes. Frosted or tinted glass is often chosen for a modern and sleek appearance.
6. Metal: Metal elements, such as handles or decorative accents, can be incorporated into the design of fitted wardrobes.

Remember that the specific materials used can vary among manufacturers and custom furniture makers. If you're considering getting fitted wardrobes, it's a good idea to consult with a professional company that specialises in fitted furniture, like Hill and Hurl or talk to the manufacturer to discuss your preferences and any customization options available.
