About the Silk Grey Finish

At four metres wide, the finish stops being a detail and becomes the room. Silk Grey is the most forgiving choice at this scale – enough tone to give the wardrobe presence and definition, not so much that it dominates the space it sits in. Combined with two full-height mirrors at the centre, it is the configuration most likely to work in a normal bedroom rather than a large one.

The colour is a soft light grey with a gentle warmth to it, free of the cold blue undertone that dated so quickly in recent years. Across a span this wide that warmth is what stops the front feeling hard. It holds its character in daylight rather than flattening out to an off-white, and it takes oak, walnut, painted furniture, chrome and brass equally well – useful when the wardrobe is the largest thing in the room and everything else has to sit alongside it.

The mirrored pair at the centre is what makes the width work. Two full-height mirrors side by side create a large uninterrupted reflective expanse – close to a mirrored wall without commissioning one – which pushes the opposite side of the room back and gives the front real depth. Four metres of unbroken grey would read as a wall; split by mirror at the centre and framed either side, it reads as designed.

Those two centre doors open together. Draw either one and the other follows automatically, opening the whole mirrored section in a single movement rather than door by door. It is a small piece of engineering you notice every day, and characteristic of where Rauch spend their money in the BLACK collection. The mechanism sits at the top of the wardrobe, which is why this model needs a little more ceiling clearance than the two and three-door versions.

The outer doors are yours to specify. Glossy Colour Glass is genuine glass with a high-sheen surface; alongside the mirrored centre it adds light and movement without the intensity a gloss finish produces on a dark colour. Matt Colour Glass is also real glass but low-sheen, and across a front this wide it is arguably where silk grey looks its best – a flat, even surface with an almost textile quality. Matt Décor is a non-reflective panel finish, the quietest of the three and the closest to a fitted wardrobe. The carcase is always Matt Décor.

Mid greys are also the most forgiving finishes to maintain. Dust is less visible than on a dark colour, everyday marks less obvious than on a pale one – which matters when there is four metres of surface to keep on top of.

The name Duo comes from the doors themselves: each is built from two panels rather than one full-height sheet. Visually that produces the split-door front and the three slim decorative strips running across it. Practically it solves a problem that catches a lot of people out with wardrobes this size – a 236cm door in a single piece is extremely difficult to carry up a staircase, round a landing or through a standard doorway. Two panels are manageable. If the bedroom is upstairs, or the access involves a turn, that is the difference between a straightforward installation and an impossible one.

Sliding doors are close to essential at this width. A four-door hinged wardrobe would need the better part of a metre of clear floor before a single door could open; this needs none. That is what makes a 400cm wardrobe possible in a room where the bed sits opposite, and the metal rail system is built to hold four heavy doors true and running smoothly over years rather than months.

Internally the wardrobe divides into four equal compartments – 80cm, 90cm or 100cm each depending on width – with two height-adjustable shelves and a full-width hanging rail in every one. Four separate hanging sections is far more usable than one long run: two people sharing can take two compartments each, or whole sections can be given over to bedding, luggage and out-of-season clothing without disturbing everyday storage.

Construction is what the rauch BLACK line is built on: high-quality wood-based panels, metal fittings and rails, and an MDF back wall for rigidity across the full four-metre span. With 68cm external depth and 58cm usable inside, garments hang square rather than pressing against the doors. As a 100% Made in Germany product carrying both the Blue Angel and Golden M seals, it meets independently verified standards for low emissions and furniture quality.

Two heights are offered. The 236cm model adds a substantial band of storage above the hanging space where ceiling height allows; 223cm suits standard modern ceilings. If four doors is more than the wall will take, the Supreme Duo is also produced as a 2-door wardrobe from 160cm to 200cm and a 3-door wardrobe from 240cm to 300cm. Matching bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.

Internal Storage Layout

• Four equal compartments: Each measuring 80cm (320cm model), 90cm (360cm model) or 100cm (400cm model) in width
• First compartment: 2 height-adjustable storage shelves in the upper section, with 1 full-width hanging rail beneath
• Second compartment: Identical arrangement – 2 height-adjustable shelves above and 1 full-width hanging rail below, positioned behind the left mirrored door
• Third compartment: Identical arrangement, positioned behind the right mirrored door
• Fourth compartment: Identical arrangement – 2 height-adjustable shelves above and 1 full-width hanging rail below
• Total hanging space: Four separate rails rather than one continuous run, allowing the wardrobe to be divided between users or dedicated to different garment types and seasons
• Centre access: The synchronised centre doors open together, exposing the two middle compartments in a single movement
• Shelf adjustment: Shelves reposition independently in each compartment, so one section can be set for full-length garments while another is given over to folded storage
• Usable depth: 58cm throughout, allowing garments to hang square without contact with the sliding doors
• Height options: The 236cm model provides additional storage volume above the hanging section in all four compartments compared with the 223cm model
• Additional fittings: Extra shelves, rails and interior accessories can be selected under Extras when ordering

FAQs

Is delivery and assembly included?
Yes. Delivery and full professional assembly are included at no extra cost, to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our team builds the wardrobe in your room of choice – there is nothing to add at checkout and nothing for you to assemble.

How much space do I need to install it?
Allow 15cm of clearance at each side of the wardrobe, and an additional 15–20cm above it. This model needs more ceiling clearance than the two and three-door versions because the synchronised opening mechanism is housed at the top of the unit. On a wardrobe of this width, measure the full run of wall before ordering, including skirting boards, radiators and any point where the wall is not perfectly square.

What is synchronised opening?
The two mirrored centre doors are linked. Draw either one and the other opens with it automatically, so the whole mirrored section opens in a single movement rather than door by door. The mechanism sits at the top of the wardrobe and is fitted by our team during assembly.

Which doors are mirrored?
Both centre doors carry full-height mirrors as standard on this model, with your chosen finish on the two outer doors. Roughly half the front of the wardrobe is therefore mirrored, which gives the grey front depth and stops four metres reading as a flat plane.

Will it fit up my stairs and into the room?
This is where the Duo design helps. Each door is built from two panels rather than a single full-height sheet, so the components are considerably easier to carry through doorways, up staircases and around landings than a wardrobe of this size would normally be. It is still worth checking that your access allows for the carcase panels, particularly on the 236cm height.

Is a 400cm wardrobe too much for an average bedroom?
Silk grey is the finish most likely to make it work. It has enough tone to look deliberate without the visual weight of a dark colourway, and the two mirrored centre doors return light to the room. The deciding factor is usually the run of wall available rather than the visual impact.

How long will it take to arrive?
Dispatch is 8 to 10 weeks. This is a dispatch timeframe rather than a delivery date: the wardrobe is built to your specification in Germany and then shipped to the UK. Occasionally items arrive sooner, and during German factory holiday closures it can take slightly longer.

Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order in your chosen finish and size, so once the order has been processed with Rauch it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected options carefully before ordering.

What is the difference between the three front finishes?
Matt Décor is a panel finish with a soft, non-reflective surface. Glossy Colour Glass is genuine glass with a high-sheen, light-reflecting front. Matt Colour Glass is also genuine glass, but with a low-sheen surface that minimises reflections and gives silk grey a particularly soft appearance across a wide front. All three are supplied in Silk Grey, with the mirrored centre doors and Matt Décor carcase unchanged across the range.

How wide is each internal compartment?
The interior is divided into four equal sections. On the 320cm model each compartment is 80cm wide, on the 360cm model 90cm, and on the 400cm model 100cm. Every compartment has its own shelves and hanging rail.

Does silk grey show marks or dust?
Less than a dark finish and less than a very pale one, which is worth having across four metres of surface. All surfaces clean with a dry cloth, and the matt options hold fingerprints less readily than the gloss.

What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms – a reflection of the build standard behind the rauch BLACK collection.

Can I add more shelves or rails inside?
Yes. The wardrobe comes with the standard interior of two adjustable shelves and one hanging rail per compartment. Additional interior fittings can be selected under Extras before you complete your order.

Are other sizes available?
Yes. The Supreme Duo is also produced as a 2-door wardrobe from 160cm to 200cm and a 3-door wardrobe from 240cm to 300cm.

Is there matching bedroom furniture?
Yes. Coordinating bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.

How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
