Hi everyone,
Hope this is the right forum section to ask this question.

Does anyone know where i can get clear glass sliding wardrobe doors please? There are lots of frosted and mirrored glass but i cant find any for simple clear glass sliding doors in the UK. Can anyone help please?

If you don't find any you can always get mirrored or frosted ones and change the glass.

Thank you for the reply : Is it easy to change the glass on these sorts of things?  
Shame as its a waste of the glass that comes with it (and extra cost )

Frosted or mirror glass panels will generally have timber backing for strength so wouldn't be see through even after replacing the glass.  I'm guessing the OP wants to see into the wardrobes but keep the dust out.

Yes exactly - anyone know of any sellers of clear glass (see through) wardrobe doors in the UK?

Think this'll be a bespoke job for maybe a glazing firm or builder...
Laminated or toughened safety glass will be needed (thick/heavy) and by-pass sliding rails (similar to some patio doors). 

The mirror wardrobe doors I fitted many many years back from somewhere like Homebase were relatively thin glass, and had a glued on coating for safety on the back.  So were quite lightweight and 'wobbly'.

Generally wardrobe doors are opaque to hide the mess they contain. 

You can get clear glass sliding door sets if there are 'reveals' either side... https://www.directdoors.com/collections/dd-sliding-full-pane-glass-doors is an example supplier. 
Do your own due diligence on any companies you find.

Might be worth a trip to IKEA and taking  a closer look at their Pax items. We bought some white Billy bookcase doors in December and they are actually clear glass doors with white panels that clip in behind them.

(Cannot guarantee they are the same)

Mine (mirror, from BnQ 20 years ago) don't have any  backing.

I have to say these would drive me daft - the contents would have to be tidy to the nth degree.

Those in the pic above look nice but, seriously, how many people have wardrobes perpetually that empty/neat!

My thoughts exactly!
