Framed vs Frameless vs Slimline Wardrobe Doors: Which Is Right for You?
Quick answer: Framed is the best value and the widest choice (from $420, every insert including Gyprock). Slimline is the space saver, with a bottom track 25 to 41mm narrower, for shallow cupboards and tight reveals (from $499). Frameless is the premium minimal look with edge to edge mirror or glass (from $690). All three are Australian made to your measurements on the Gold Coast, priced instantly online, delivered FREE to eligible Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Byron Bay areas by our own team, and come with a 5 year warranty. Easy DIY installation from just 30 minutes, or our own installers fit them.
Choosing between the three Wardrobes2U door styles comes down to three questions: how much room you have in front of the wardrobe, which insert you want, and how minimal you want the frame to look. Here's how they compare, with the numbers.
Framed sliding wardrobe doors: best value, widest choice
From $420. A full aluminium frame around every panel in your choice of six frame colours. Framed takes every insert we make: standard mirror, vinyl (Buff, Grey Shadow, Parchment, White Glacier), painted glass (Black, Clear Float, White Glass) and Gyprock supplied raw for painting, so the doors can match the wall. Double track 82mm, triple track 122mm.
Choose Framed if: you want the most options for the least money. It's the go-to for bedrooms, kids' rooms, laundries, hallways and rentals, and the only style that takes Gyprock inserts.
Slimline sliding wardrobe doors: space saving
From $499. Fully framed like Framed, but with a narrower profile and a different bottom frame and wheel system. The bottom track is 57mm on a double (25mm narrower than Framed) and 81mm on a triple (41mm narrower). Six frame colours, with mirror, vinyl and painted glass inserts. Gyprock isn't available in Slimline.
Choose Slimline if: depth is tight. Shallow built-ins, laundry cupboards and hallway robes where the reveal won't take a standard track, or where every centimetre of hanging space matters.
Frameless sliding wardrobe doors: the minimal look
From $690. Minimal visible framing so the mirror or glass runs edge to edge. Six frame colours, mirror in Standard, Bronze and Grey, and painted glass in Black, Clear Float and White Glass. Vinyl and Gyprock aren't available in Frameless. Tracks are the same 82mm double and 122mm triple as Framed.
Choose Frameless if: you want the doors to be the feature. Master bedrooms, walk in robes and new builds where a clean, luxury finish is the point.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between framed and frameless wardrobe doors?
Framed doors have a full aluminium frame around every panel and take every insert, including vinyl and Gyprock, from $420. Frameless doors have minimal visible framing so the mirror or glass runs edge to edge, in mirror or painted glass only, from $690.
When should I choose Slimline doors?
When depth is tight. Slimline's bottom track is 57mm on a double door (25mm narrower than Framed) and 81mm on a triple (41mm narrower), so it suits shallow built-ins, laundries and hallway robes.
Can I mix mirror and glass on the same wardrobe?
Yes. All three styles are available in the Combo range, so you can mix inserts across the doors, for example mirror in the centre and white glass either side.
Which style is cheapest?
Framed, from $420 for a complete custom made door set. Slimline starts at $499 and Frameless at $690. Your exact price shows in the online builder before you order.
