Sliding Wardrobe Doors

Can anybody advise as to where I can find contemporary, inexpensive, sliding wardrobe doors at 2210mm high X 760mm wide? I've looked at places such as Ikea, B & Q etc but they are all too short.

Many thanks in anticipation.

    Just a thought to save money. What about buying from one of the above & building a false wall along the top of the sliding doors - then you get fully fitted wardrobes, with a false wall above which will look fine

    Or, you could mount the available doors on a plinth to make up to the available ceiling height.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Thanks both for the replies. The wardrobe has already got about 20cm of 'fake' wall at the top and is also built up by about 15cm. The existing doors are 2210mm in height but in reality could be fitted up to about 2500mm (if the plinth and top section were removed).

    I just fitted some sliding doors from Homebase. I think they are 2260mm high IIRC. The existing doors were higher and went up behind the coving which had been fitted around the wardrobe. I cut up the old doors to use as a plinth drop the door opening height down to the required size. Homebase etc sell 'opening height reducers' which are no more than bits of plastic that you cut to size and then fix the track on to. They cost about a tenner each though and I would have needed several but cutting up the old doors instead cost me nothing.

    Screwfix and other places make doors to size, however it was far far cheaper for me to buy standard size doors and resize the opening instead.

    Thanks - I must have looked at every other DIY company out there! I think Homebase have just the type I'm looking for. :T
