Wardrobe Pricing Guide for Vizag Apartments
A beautiful, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe is the anchor of any bedroom. But when you receive quotes for your Vizag apartment, the prices can vary wildly. Understanding exactly what drives the cost of a wardrobe will help you make smart, budget-friendly decisions without sacrificing durability.

What Drives the Cost of a Wardrobe?
The price of a custom wardrobe is determined by three main factors: size, the door mechanism, and the internal configuration.
1. Size and Lofts
The total square footage (width × height) is the baseline. A standard wardrobe stops at 7 feet. However, we highly recommend extending the wardrobe to the ceiling (adding a "loft"). While a loft increases the initial cost by 15-20%, it provides massive, hidden storage for suitcases and winter wear, effectively decluttering your apartment.
2. Hinged vs. Sliding Doors
The mechanism you choose has a significant impact on the budget:
- Hinged (Openable) Doors: This is the standard, most cost-effective option. It requires heavy-duty SS 304 hinges (crucial in Vizag to prevent rust), but the overall hardware cost is low.
- Sliding Doors: Perfect for compact bedrooms where there is no space to swing a door open. However, heavy sliding doors require premium, imported channel systems (like Hettich or Aristo) to ensure they glide smoothly and don't derail. This premium hardware can add ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 to the wardrobe cost.
3. Internal Configuration (Drawers)
Empty shelves are cheap. Drawers are expensive. Every drawer you add requires specialized telescopic channels, extra plywood, and more labor. A highly organized wardrobe with multiple internal drawers for accessories, jewelry, and documents will cost noticeably more than a basic wardrobe with just hanging rods and shelves.
Cost Breakdown (Standard Size)
| Type | Description | Est. Cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Hinged | MR Plywood core, basic laminate, few drawers | ₹50K - ₹65K |
| Premium Hinged + Loft | MR/BWP core, premium laminate, ceiling height | ₹75K - ₹90K |
| Premium Sliding + Loft | Heavy-duty sliding channels, premium finishes | ₹1.0L - ₹1.3L |
| Luxury Finish | Acrylic or PU Paint, tinted glass shutters, sensor lights | ₹1.5L+ |

Material Grades: Choosing the Right Plywood
Selecting the wrong wood grade for a specific area is the primary cause of premature interior failure. Here is the full hierarchy:
| Grade | Standard | Water Resistance | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| BWP (Marine Ply) | IS 710 | Boiling water — no delamination | Kitchen sink cabinet, utility storage, bathroom vanities, wet-wall units |
| BWR Plywood | IS 303 | High humidity + splashes | Kitchen wall cabinets, dining crockery units, dry overhead storage |
| Commercial / MR | IS 303 (MR) | Humidity only — no direct water | Bedroom wardrobes, TV units, study desks |
| HDHMR | — | High moisture resistance | Wardrobe shutter doors, kitchen shutters (high-gloss / PU finishes) |
| MDF / Particle Board | — | Poor — swells permanently | Low-wear vertical partitions only; avoid in kitchens entirely |
Rule: BWP IS 710 for any unit within 1 metre of a water source. BWR IS 303 for wall cabinets above the splash zone. Commercial MR for all dry rooms.
What the warranty actually covers
A cost figure is only half the question; the other half is what happens after handover. AlcorOne's warranty on interior work in Vizag runs in three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times — a single headline figure would misrepresent all three.
| Tier | Term | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Carcass — plywood | 10 years | Delamination, borer attack and manufacturing defect in the board of modular kitchens, wardrobes and fixed joinery built by AlcorOne. Conditional on the board grade specified in the signed BOQ being the grade supplied and installed — BWP to IS 710 in wet zones, BWR to IS 303 above splash lines. This tier covers the board itself and nothing else. |
| Installation and workmanship | 1 year | Defects attributable to how the work was built and fitted — alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding and similar. |
| Hardware, fittings and appliances | Manufacturer's own term | Hinges, channels, drawer systems, electricals, sanitaryware and appliances carry the vendor's own warranty — Hettich, Blum, Häfele and Ebco each publish their own mechanism terms. AlcorOne registers that documentation in the client's name at handover and facilitates the claim. |
Not covered under any tier: water ingress originating from base-building or plumbing defects outside AlcorOne's scope; damage from misuse, unauthorised modification, or third-party work carried out after handover; and normal wear to finishes. The full terms are on the Terms of Service page.
Read a headline warranty number in this category the same way. A ten-year figure quoted on its own is almost always the carcass tier alone, with installation sitting at one to two years beneath it. Ask any contractor which of those years are theirs and which are the brands'.

Frequently asked questions.
Do I need BWP Marine Plywood for a wardrobe?
Generally, no. A high-quality Commercial MR (IS 303) plywood is sufficient for wardrobes in dry areas like bedrooms. However, if the wardrobe shares a common wall with a bathroom that frequently suffers from seepage, upgrading that specific back panel to BWP plywood is a smart defensive move.
Can you put a mirror on a sliding door?
Yes, integrating a full-length mirror onto one of the sliding shutters is a great way to save space in the bedroom and make the room feel larger.
Are the internal shelves adjustable?
Yes, we can design the internal layout with adjustable shelving, allowing you to change the height of the compartments as your storage needs evolve over time.
What warranty does AlcorOne give on its interior work?
Three tiers, stated separately because they cover different things and expire at different times. Ten years on the plywood carcass from the date of handover, against delamination, borer attack and manufacturing defect in the board — conditional on the grade specified in the signed BOQ being the grade supplied and installed. One year on installation and workmanship: alignment, levelling, fixing, edge-banding and similar. Hardware, fittings and appliances carry the manufacturer's own term, and AlcorOne registers that documentation in the client's name at handover and facilitates the claim. Not covered under any tier: water ingress originating from base-building or plumbing defects outside AlcorOne's scope; damage from misuse, unauthorised modification, or third-party work carried out after handover; and normal wear to finishes.
