Suspended Closet Systems

Based on a metal rail that is secured to the studs, this system is very popular for suspended closet projects. All of the structural components hang off of the rail. The weight of the system is carried by the studs and is very strong. The vertical panels accommodate an engineered wall mounting bracket that attaches to the panel and clips over the rail. Horizontal and vertical adjustment screws make for a perfectly square result.

Floor Based Closet Systems

Floor based closet systems are designed to be supported by the floor and include a base cabinet that raises the closet a few inches off the floor. Typically, the bottom of the base box near the wall is cut away and fitted around baseboard moldings to ensure a snug fit to the wall. Alternately, moldings like baseboards can be removed prior to installation. Since floor-based systems sit on the floor, it can be difficult to change the carpeting unless it is removed from under the unit prior to installation.
