Door covering

For the Shoji doors rice paper covering we offer different options:

1. Plasticized rice paper. This means that the rice paper is covered with a layer of plastic (PVC) on each side. This type of covering is semiwashable and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and water.

2. White fiber rice paper glued to a polycarbonate panel and then vitrified. For this type of covering the rice paper is first moistened and glued onto a 1mm thick supporting layer of transparent polycarbonate, then it is uniformly sprayed with a water-based vitrifying liquid for further protection. This technique increases the stability while mantaining natural, slightly creased consistency of the rice paper. With this type of treatment, the Shoji doors become perfectly resistent to shock and pressure, which can occur due to a frequent opening and closing of the wardrobe. 

3. Plastified rice paper reinforced with a polycarbonate panel. A transparent plastic panel will be put behind the rice paper, glueing is not necessary.

For more information about our rice papers and their treatments, visit the rice paper page.

If you wish, the doors can also be covered with whitened beech panels. Please ask for an estimate of cost if you are interested in this option.

Wood finish

The Shoji wardrobe with sliding doors is available in natural untreated wood, in addition we also offer models with external panels and doors treated with water-based ecologic finish in different colors. Choose the oil finish if you prefer a transparent finish. Whatever finish you choose, we recommend to opt for an oil finish for the interior as it is lighter than the other colors and allows a better visibility inside the wardrobe.
