Built In Wardrobes Using B&Q Sliding Glass Doors | DIY Project
It seems every year instead of presents for my parents they get me to do some kind of a job around the house. Last year they wanted their bathroom remodelled it's, and this year it's new built-in wardrobes for their bedroom.
After listening to what my dad had in mind I just had to step in and save him from destroying another room.
This was meant to be a two-part, series but my mum has decided to remodel the interior herself.
In this video, I frame out for B&Q glass sliding doors along with building 3 platforms to help hide the disastrous wallpapering which was undertaken by my dad.

Doing a retro here and thought of same idea from Ikea, gonna do a slider between bedroom and bathroom. Will post vid in a couple weeks. Great work!

@nahidmuquith3685 3 года назад

Brilliant video 👍This is what a real how to build sliding wardrobes unit should be. Dealing with real issues with walls and ceilings and floors that aren't straight. Weekend's coming up fast so better get buying some timber etc. Look forward to the next project! 👍

@fdghn4567 3 года назад

This vid came up on my recommended list, fitted these same doors for a customer. Same kind of problems, nothing straight and a bit of messing about reseating the metal frame on the mirror properly, but like you say, the glide action on them is nice and smooth. You could have used some strips of timber to create the door rebates, the mdf panels would have covered the joints. The only trouble with these kind of kits is you can sometimes spend as much time working out vague instructions as doing the work.

@@WHCreations Sorry for the language, my bad, I edited my comment. If acting like that to people I don't know is what you would call being funny, than I prefer being boring. You just proved my point, you lot seem to think that is just normal behaviour, something fun and funny. Just to be clear, everyone winds, burps etc what gives one a scale on decency and common sense is the context of the situation and if one just has the decency to say : sorry or excuse me etc. Or is that just for Oxford and Cambridge graduates?

ida put the far door closest to the windows in first so you don’t see the edge of the doors. nice job building it all out. those floor to ceiling mirror doors look great.

@andyr4735 3 года назад

Ive got a lovely sliding door bensons for beds wardrobe and ive always wondered if the doors could be taken off and incorporated into a built in wardrobe. By the looks of it yes but id need a tradesman with your patience

@WHCreations 3 года назад

Hey andy, I suspect any doors could be removed and put onto a new project, it would be worth contacting your local trade person to talk through this more.

@helkyrie 5 лет назад

Just wondering if the rails you're using are standard ikea ones? I didn't realise that they spanned that much space. Advice on where to get compatible rail would be really really welcome!! Cheers

@WHCreations 5 лет назад

Hi thanks for getting in touch. It turns out after all this time that my parents meant b&q. I'm not one for Ikea or b&q myself so didn't know. Appologies for the confusion and hope that has helped clear things up.

Soft wood cls

@rossward4993 4 года назад

How do I watch the second ideo of you finishing this project. I'm struggling to find it. Thankyou

@WHCreations 4 года назад

It never was I'm afraid. The video was posted with the intention of going back to finish it. My work schedule meant it wouldnt be for a month or so, and my parents decided to do it themselves.

@jc5454 4 года назад

Id like to do something similar, difference is mine would be going "wall to wall". Its a much smaller room, to the left hand side would be the door/entrance to the room so I would need to put a show end on it. Wondering what I could use, maybe a high gloss section like they use on a tall kitchen unit? also, on your design there is timber visible to the right which looks proud of the sliding doors. Would you just paint that or did you cover it with something? Cheers

@WHCreations 4 года назад

Hey jc, the idea was that I would use 4x2 to frame the doors and then use MDF to create a nice surround to hide it all. Inside would have been framed out for shelves and tv etc. Its a shame they decided to do it themselves, but there you go. A kitchen side would work. Failing that a piece of mdf cut to size and painted to match the room

@masood6086 Год назад

willdone thanks for share😘

@lukecacciatorenorris8770 4 года назад

Just a question. Did you design your framing so the "opening" was the same size as all the doors together when fully closed?

@WHCreations 4 года назад

Hi, the doors were purchased to fit the desired width if I remember correctly. There is a slight overlap on each door

@initialyze 4 года назад

Quality vid. After watching this, I would love to have a go myself. Do you have any pics of the finished article with the MDF surround? Also, do you thing you could do this by laying the base of the frame on carpet and screwing it through, without having to take the carpet up?

@WHCreations 4 года назад

Thanks. I dont have any photos of the finished article. I never got the chance to finish it as my parents took over. It's their finish and not mine and not something I would have done. In terms of fixing it over carpets I would be dubious. You really need a firm stable and flat fixture point. I would lay it over the carpet and then cut up to the fixing point, remove carpet and fix down some new grips to affix carpet too. I dont think this step would take too long but would definitely give you a better finish.

@ameerahme 5 лет назад

What do you think about fixing the bottom rail onto carpet or perhaps screw a piece of timber either 1x2 or 2x2 over the carpet and then install the rail ontop

@WHCreations 5 лет назад

Hey ameer. The idea originally was that they wanted some sort of skirting board underneath. This was then changed when I couldn't get back before they wanted it all done. But yes of course you could also do this

@ameerahme 5 лет назад

@@WHCreations how did you find the joists in the ceiling above for where to fix the 3x2

@WHCreations 5 лет назад

I placed a small drill bit through the plasterboard until i hit a joist then found the distance between one and measured off of that 🤘

@britishbluetess 5 лет назад

Is there a part 2?

@qweng8532 4 года назад

Hello when u drill into the ceiling do you have to drill to to a joist

@WHCreations 4 года назад

Ideally yes, which is why I was using a small drill bit to test. The plasterboard alone won't give the kind of stability needed unless you get some plasterboard fittings which will take the weight of the beam.

@bookerd3000 3 года назад

Well thought out job. Just wondering though why you leveled the ceiling. Would it not have been easier to level the lower rail and cut the noggins accordingly. Not a criticism at all, just a suggestion. Nice job though

@WHCreations 3 года назад

Thanks buddy. Yeah either way would work. You may have been right about doing the bottom first. It was a while ago now and at first I didn't think it would have taken as long as it did. Suppose its very much a see as you go

@DocteGaby 2 года назад

Interesting job! I'm looking at doing something similar. You mention ikea doors but the title says B&Q... which is it or does it not matter?

@WHCreations 2 года назад

I was originally told ikea, but they were actually b&q. You will have to check with the instructions for your doors that you purchase, the best method for hanging. I hope this helps

@scottmclean6301 5 лет назад

Iv never known a decent way of finding the ceiling joists. Would knocking along the ceiling to find a hard part like you do on stud walls and maybe running a magnet to find any screw or nail heads

@WHCreations 5 лет назад

A magnet is a great little trick Scott. In an old house it may be galvanised nails rather than the more recent screw. For me I knocked along and can sort of find what I need. Drill a small hole in the area you think being careful not to drill into anything like wires etc. I knew which way the joists were running so that helped a lot

@scottmclean6301 5 лет назад

@@WHCreations goo man knowing what way joists are going to helps. Jus watching your bike shed vid now. Ha. Keep good vids going. Ur editing is professional. How you learn that

@WHCreations 5 лет назад

The editing for the wardrobe was done all by a friend of mine who wanted to get into filming. He is a photographer. All the others are just me with a camera being silly and making bits. The editing is just something I pick up... not professional by a long shot

@namimerdo2526 2 года назад

hi why did you make the additional top frame, because doors are not tall enough? what is your safe height of a door recomendation the door is going to ve sliding on the floor and ceiling trails wheel on top and bottom part of the doors i will make 3 sliding door size of 230x70

@WHCreations 2 года назад

Yes, the doors don't go floor to ceiling so the top rail was to secure it to place. I'm sorry I can't give you any advice concerning your door. I would highly recommend hiring or getting advice from a local building/carpenter in your area.

Instead of raising the floor inside the wardrobe you should have done that first large enough to mount the flòor track on, then you would have a smaller filler at the roof and would just need to trim along the floor for a neater finish plus trim over that cls timber as its not a finishing timber.
