Customize a sliding closet door

Our customer wanted to customize her closet door, which was very practical but not very aesthetic.

We were able to solve a decorative problem quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

The goal: give your closet door a makeover in no time!

To begin with, we had to dismantle the cupboard doors to ensure a flawless result.

Once installed flat, we thoroughly cleaned the surface of the doors withisopropyl alcohol to remove any dust and residue that might be causing bubbles to form.

Then it's very simple: we apply the imitation wood adhesive coatingfor an incredible finish!

To simplify installation, you can opt for a ready-to-use cut-to-size adhesive. If you prefer to save money, it's also possible to order the adhesive in linear meters, then cut it yourself to fit the dimensions of your worktop.

Step 1: Take the right measurements

Start by measuring the length of your worktop, then add a further 20 cm. Do the same for the depth, this time adding 10 cm.

👉 These margins provide greater comfort during installation and prevent cutting errors.

Step 2: Cutting the adhesive

Using a cutter and a ruler, cut a rectangle to the dimensions obtained (measurements + excess). Now you're ready to apply.

Step 3: Applying adhesive

• Peel off about 10 cm of the protective film (the liner).
• Position the adhesive part on the edge of the worktop, making sure it is straight.
• Using a squeegee with a felt tip, smooth from the center to the edges to avoid bubbles.
• Unroll the adhesive gradually, removing the liner as you go, while pressing firmly.

Step 4: Corner finishing

For clean, sharp corners:

• Trim excess adhesive from corners.
• Fold the other side over, making sure to smooth out for a neat result.

Once back in place, the doors were completely revamped, literally transforming the closet and giving it a real facelift!
