We use 445mm deep by 16mm thick white melamine board as standard. The finish on this board is called 'velvet'.
We can make internals from other board types & textures at extra cost.

The top shelf will sit at approximately 1950mm high off the floor unless noted on plans otherwise.
Variation to height may occur if floor is out of level.

We use your existing walls, floor and ceiling and finish new robe to these – this means you will see these walls / floor / ceiling inside the new robe. We do not line the wardrobe walls, floor or ceiling unless noted on plans.

These will be in powder coated form, except for bright silver which is anodized.
Our bottom track is what is known as a 'V' groove track. We use this track so if you stand on it, you wont hurt your foot.
We can install a 'raised' track section if you wish at extra cost.

These create a new side wall for the end/s of the robe if required. The End Panels go from floor to ceiling.
They are made from 16mm White Melamine, which can be painted.

Standard drawer sizes are 450mm wide x 200mm high x 380mm deep. Any other size is considered custom made.
Drawers have under mount metal drawer runners.

We will cut slots into your existing timber work and cornices, so the robe looks ‘built in’.

This system is great to allow two thirds access to the robe.
It allows all three doors to be pushed to one side giving greater access to the robe internals at one time.

Dividers go from floor to underside of top shelf.
They are made from 16mm thick white melamine.

Standard shelving unit width is 476mm wide x 445mm deep x 16mm thick. White melamine board.

Above the doors to ceiling we finish with a white bulkhead or cornice (subject to availability) if requested (no painting of cornices included).

These go down both sides of the sliding door.
The mirror or panel is held in place by the stiles
whilst also providing a finger grip to slide the door
from side to side. Incorporated into the stile is also a bumper strip for soft closing.

Bulkheads go above the sliding doors and finish to the ceiling.
Standard doors can only go to 2400mm high and a bulkhead
is required to fill the space left. A bulkhead also helps if floors / ceilings are out of level or have irregular bumps or hollows.
As a standard Bulkheads are made from 16mm white melamine which can be painted.
Other finishes are available upon request and extra costs.

Standard basket sizes are 440mm wide x 185mm high x 400mm deep.
They are on metal runners and slide easily.

We try our best to fit your new robe as best we can to your existing walls, floor and ceiling. It may appear that our install is not ‘square‘ if your existing structure is not square, plumb and level to start with. We may install side infills to the internals to accommodate out of plumb walls, where a drawer unit or shelving unit finishes against a wall.
If your existing floor is out of level, the bottom track may need to be packed so the bottom track is level. This may result in gaps under the bottom track to your existing floor. We do not fill this gap. You may wish to install a piece of timber and paint it after we have finished. Where an existing wall is out of plumb, this may result in a gap between new robe jambs and the existing wall. Most times this can be filled with white no more gaps. You may wish to install a piece of timber and paint it after we have finished.

The rails go between the stiles on the top and bottom of door.
The top rail also houses the guides for the top track.
The bottom rail houses the rollers. All the weight of the door is at the bottom and not hanging from the top.

Our rods are oval in shape and not round. The oval shape gives added strength.
Rods are made from chrome finished steel or mill finished aluminium.
The rods are easily removed as they sit in a 'U' shape bracket.
We fix our brackets to our dividers so the weight is transferred to the floor, rather than being supported from the top shelf as in a traditional installation.
Occasionally we may need to use a round hanging rod dependant on the installation configuration.

Depth of robe is 600mm deep as standard.
BBIW do not recommend anything shallower for use with sliding doors.
If using a triple track system, extra depth may be required.

If your existing back wall is ‘out of plumb’ or has irregular hollows or bumps, this may result in gaps between your existing wall and new robe internals. We do not scribe or seal internals to existing walls under any circumstances.

We use a return jamb on the end panel, and a wall jamb up against your existing wall.
These jambs are only used if there is not an existing jamb in place.

These are used to fix our hanging brackets to.
We will usually use these on your existing wall if we are hanging a rod from them.
We do this for a few reasons. One is that a lot of our installs have a dressed timber right down the internal corner of the robe.
Secondly because we don't have to remove the skirting board against the wall. Removing the skirting board or internal corner dressed timber can cause issues.
If you have a shelving unit or drawer unit against your existing wall, we use an infill beside the unit to clear these issues.

Sliding Door heights are maximum 2400 high.
2700mm high may be possible at extra costs if board size is available.

Doors are adjusted to suit existing walls and floors, as per image above. Doors may not line up neatly if they are swapped from their original position when fitted.

We use a 'U' channel to secure robe end panel to the wall
and robe bulkhead to ceiling if required.

We use white vinyl wrapped battens in other instances where they may be required.

Double hanging heights. First rod is 60mm below top shelf. Second lower rod is 1000mm below top shelf. This gives approx. 930mm hanging space between each rod.
Actual heights are dependant on top shelf height and client requests.

We do not put cover caps over any screws that can not be seen. This includes the top shelf screws that hold the dividers in place.

A Roof is required when the ceiling level is quite high.
Other factors may also necessitate the use of a roof.
A Floor may be required where the existing floor finish is undesirable or the client simply wants a floor.
Both Roofs & Floors are made from 16mm white melamine.

Middle shelves are screwed (fixed) into position, with the remainder using shelf supports for adjustable shelving.

No removal of existing robes or fixtures to walls etc is included, unless noted on plans.
Please ensure all free standing robes have been moved well out of the way.

These may be from either 16mm thick white melamine or
from an aluminium extruded section.
The doors close against these, unless we are replacing hinged doors or raising/widening an opening.

Measurements on plan are approximate. These may vary due to out of plumb, out of square or out of level existing walls & floors.

If demolition of old robe or shelving is included in our quote, please remember we will be using your existing walls, floor and ceiling. We will do only minor patching, but anything major is the clients responsibility. We also can’t see what is behind an existing robe, and other works / materials may be required at extra cost. If existing framework demolition is done, there may be gaps in the floor covering where existing skirting / jambs etc were removed to make way for new robe construction.

If we replace hinged doors with sliding doors then the new sliding doors will close against the existing door jambs.
If we raise or widen an existing opening we may need to install need door jambs, architraves and skirting.
Any new materials are required to be painted by client.

We do not under any circumstances do any painting / major patching / puttying of holes or furniture removal. If you do any painting to the new robe area, please ensure it has a minimum of two days to dry before we install.
We will not accept any accountability if walls are damaged because paint work was painted the night before and still wet.
We may also refuse the installation if paint fumes are too abundant to work with in an enclosed area, and a new install date will need to be arranged.

We take extreme care with your installation, but if you find we have damaged any of your property that we are unaware of, please inform us within two days after the installation. After two days BBIW will not entertain any damage queries or any damages already present prior to installation.

BBIW will not do any extra works or supply any extra materials because these specifications were not read prior to sending in a deposit. By sending us a deposit you have confirmed that the plans and specifications are agreed to.

Please ensure any free standing robes/furniture etc is removed and an empty space left prior to day of installation where the new robe is to be installed. We require a working area the size of the new robes plus a minimum of approx. 600-900mm in front of robe to be able to install the fixtures. Please ensure any items hanging on walls are removed or secured in the immediate and surrounding walls of the installation, so they do not fall off due to vibration of our installation. This includes light fittings. BBIW is not responsible for any existing loose fixtures in the home. We will need access to water, to clean our cloths during the installation as we wipe things down. Please cover anything from dust. We try to minimize dust as best we can, but light dust can escape us. More than likely due to lack of space in room, we may need to place tools on bed. We will put our own cover sheet down first.

Please ensure you have moved any of your vehicles onto the street so we can back our work van up as close as possible to the home before we arrive. It is greatly appreciated if we can also work in the garage or under carport where there is shade.

Any children or pets should be kept away from the works, as entrance door will be required to be open for most of the install. Tools and screws/glue may also be accessible to young hands. Pets in particular are known to urinate on tools / materials and also jump into our work van. They also like to sleep at the bottom or top of stairs, making the access to home a trip hazard.

Access to power points. One for inside the bedroom, and one for outside cutting of materials.

Payment Terms: 20% Deposit required to confirm acceptance of quotes/design/specifications. This will secure your install date. The balance is due on day of completion, either by cash or bank transfer. Sorry no Credit Card facilities are available.
