Many people are confused about the differences between floor and wall-mounted closets when it comes to custom closet installation. How they are installed is the main difference.
- Wall-mounted closets are suspended above the ground and attached to the wall studs with a steel rail.
- Floor-mounted closets are mounted on the floor using brackets.
The floor-mounted closet is mounted on the floor. It is secured to the wall by brackets so that it can’t be moved forward. These systems reach the floor, so they may require the removal of trim or complete removal. This type of system has structural advantages due to the additional support provided by the floor. These include:
You have the option of deeper shelving.
- Ability to carry more weight.
- The Hybrid Solution
Are you unsure which design to choose? No worries! You can rest assured that there is a hybrid closet available for this purpose!
This hybrid model is a favorite of The French Refinery. At the center of a custom closet design, we will place vertical panels and attach them to the walls at the studs. These closets are still cut higher than the baseboards to give them a floating look but still provide the same durability as floor-mounted closets.
Do You Prefer Wall Mount or Floor Mount? This Is the Question
It is important to consider the benefits of both wall-mounted and floor-mounted closets when comparing them. While wall-mounted closets look great in a modern home, floor-mounted closets are more durable and flexible. Knowing the benefits of each style will make it easier to choose one over another.
