Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you are exploring fitted wardrobes, curious about angled ceiling solutions, or considering our finance options, you are in the right place. We have answered some of the most common questions our customers ask, so you can feel confident at every step of your Komandor Scotland journey. If you do not find what you are looking for, our team is always happy to help.
Do you offer hinged or sliding doors for angled wardrobes?
We offer both. The best choice depends on your ceiling angle and room layout. Our designer will talk you through the most practical and stylish options.
Can I customise the internal layout?
Absolutely. You can choose the mix of hanging, shelving, drawers, and accessories that works for you. Everything is made to suit your storage needs and the available space.
Will the wardrobes look built in or freestanding?
Our installations are fully built in, made to fit flush against walls and ceilings. This gives a seamless finished look even in the trickiest of spaces.
Can you work around existing beams or windows?
Yes. We can design cabinetry around beams, radiators, windows, and plug sockets, ensuring it all looks cohesive and remains functional.
What storage features work well in awkward spaces?
Pull out rails, shallow drawers, custom shelving, and angled shoe storage are just a few smart features we use. We will guide you through the options to suit your layout.
Do sloped ceiling wardrobes cost more?
The cost depends on the size and complexity of your space. While bespoke angled wardrobes require more detailed planning, our pricing remains competitive and tailored to your project.
Will I lose storage because of the angles?
Not at all. We carefully plan each section to maximise usable space even in low or tapered areas. We often use drawers, shelves, or angled hanging rails to make every inch count.
What if my room has an unusual layout or awkward corners?
No problem. Our made to measure approach allows us to design furniture that fits seamlessly around alcoves, low ceilings, eaves, and irregular floor plans.
Can you build wardrobes under sloped ceilings?
Yes. We specialise in fitted wardrobes for sloped ceilings, lofts, and attic rooms. Each unit is designed to follow the angles of your space perfectly so you do not lose valuable storage.
Are shelving systems adjustable after installation?
Many of our systems use RAFIX or other adjustable components, allowing you to move shelves or reconfigure the layout as your storage needs change.
How much weight can the shelves hold?
That depends on the materials and design, but all shelving is built to support everyday use. We’ll advise you on suitable options based on your intended use.
Is lighting available within shelving units?
Yes. We can integrate LED lighting into your shelving to highlight display areas, improve visibility, and create atmosphere.

Choose from a wide selection of finishes including natural wood grains, neutral tones, bold colours, or glass. We’ll guide you through the options to complement your room.
Do you offer floating shelves?
We do. Floating shelves create a minimal, contemporary look and are ideal for displaying books, décor, or artwork. We’ll help you select the right depth and spacing.
Can shelving be open or closed?
Yes. You can choose open shelving for display, closed units for concealed storage, or a combination of both. We’ll tailor the layout to suit your lifestyle.
Where in the home can shelving systems be installed?
Shelving systems can be installed in almost any space, from living areas and hallways to studies, utility rooms, and bedrooms. We design around your needs and your layout.

Do hinged wardrobes work well in small rooms?
They can, as long as there is enough clearance for the doors to open. Our designer will assess your space and help determine if hinged or sliding doors are better suited to your layout.
Can I customise the interior of my hinged wardrobe?
Yes. From hanging rails and shelves to internal drawers and shoe racks, we build the layout around your lifestyle. Everything is designed to maximise space and function.
What are the advantages of hinged doors over sliding doors?
Hinged doors allow full access to the entire wardrobe at once and can be combined with internal drawers, pull out mirrors, or hooks mounted on the inside of the doors. They are ideal for layouts where there is enough space for doors to open outward. Hinged door wardrobes also require less depth overall, typically around 550mm, compared to approximately 650mm for sliding systems.
What is a hinged door wardrobe?
A hinged door wardrobe uses doors that open outward on traditional hinges, offering full access to the entire wardrobe interior. It’s a classic and versatile choice that suits both modern and traditional homes.
Can I see sliding wardrobe options before I decide?
Yes. During your free design visit, we will bring finish samples and create a tailored 3D design based on your room dimensions. We also encourage you to visit our showroom, where you can explore full size examples of our sliding systems and get a feel for the materials and quality.
How long does it take to install a sliding wardrobe?
Most sliding wardrobes can be installed within couple of days, depending on the complexity of the project. Our installers work cleanly and efficiently to minimise disruption.
Can you install sliding doors in sloped or awkward spaces?
In most cases, yes. While hinged doors are typically more suited for sloped ceilings, we can usually incorporate sliding doors into creative angled designs. Our designers will advise on the best option.
Are mirrored sliding doors available?
Yes. Mirrored sliding doors are a popular choice for both practicality and style. They reflect light, help rooms feel more spacious, and function as full length mirrors. We offer three mirror finishes to suit different interiors: silver, brown, and graphite.
How do the sliding mechanisms work?
Our sliding wardrobes use high quality tracks available in both aluminium and steel options. Each system is engineered for smooth, reliable movement and built to suit different budgets and design preferences.
Can I customise the inside of my sliding door wardrobe?
Absolutely. We design the interiors around your lifestyle with options like adjustable shelving, drawers, double hanging rails, pull-out shoe racks, and integrated lighting.
What materials and finishes are available for sliding doors?
We offer a wide range of finishes including wood-effect panels, glass, mirrors, lacquered surfaces, and combinations of textures to match your personal style.
Are sliding door wardrobes suitable for any room size?
Yes. Sliding doors work well in compact rooms as well as larger spaces. They are custom-made to fit the exact dimensions of your wall or alcove, regardless of size.
What are the benefits of sliding door wardrobes?
Sliding door wardrobes are ideal for saving space, especially in smaller rooms. The doors glide open without swinging outward, allowing for more usable floor area and a sleek, contemporary look.
Do you remove old furniture before installing the new wardrobes?
