I'm in the final stages of renovating a bedroom.
We have installed a click floor on chipboard with floor heating pipes and erected a wall to place a wardrobe between it and the existing exterior wall.
The plan was to install a wardrobe from Lumi with a depth of 60.
However, when the wardrobe arrived, it turned out to be only 45 deep. According to information, nothing other than 45 depth has ever been manufactured.
So now the question is how do I solve this? I adjusted the click floor for a 60 depth wardrobe, so it needs to be extended.
My idea here is to try to place a metal sheet under the click floor for protection, and use a circular saw to cut the floor and put a joint under the sliding door track.
What do you think about that?

45 cm deep? Then a standard hanger for adult clothes barely fits.
Or are the clothes rails "crossways"?
As I see it you have two choices:
Either place the wardrobe 15 cm from the wall, so it looks okay from the outside. Just a little less volume than you anticipated.
Or you return what you bought, sell it on blocket or throw it away, your choice.
And buy new in the right size. It's called learning money

Looking at Lumi's website, they have both interior fittings for wardrobes and sliding doors. Have you bought their interior and it is 45 cm? If so, perhaps you should also have sliding doors? Can't you then install them 60 cm out from the wall? Or have I completely misunderstood?
One more thing, just to really rub it in
Next time, you should lay the floor from wall to wall,
and not skimp by not laying under the wardrobes

When we inquired and requested a quote, it was with the assumption that the wardrobe would be 60 deep (standard in "my world"). The quote even specified that the depth was 685.
However, it turned out that they only manufacture wardrobes in 45 as mentioned, and a sliding door is installed in front, resulting in the specified measurement.
We do have the option to return it, according to our salesperson.
But then we would need to find a company that can manufacture a wardrobe according to our drawings, which we haven't done yet...
Does anyone have any tips?
We are currently considering trying to solve it with the wardrobe that we have received.
But I have laid the click floor too short, it doesn't extend under the wardrobe but ends about 20 cm in front.
The question then is how I best do this, since I have floor heating pipes underneath, must I cut a couple of cm to get the splice under the floor rail?
That way, we could hang hangers in the "normal" way, sure the shelves would be a bit shallower than we intended, but we think it would work.

And there I'm considering whether I can splice the floor under the sliding door's floor rail."KnockOnWood" yes, I will probably spend on an extra package next time

The sliding door is mounted separately, then you can have whatever you want behind it, that's how it has been with the Lumi wardrobes I have assembled. The interior is 45cm to allow for a good margin behind, I have had similar but with the doors mounted at 50cm deep, that worked so-so and the doors hit everything that wasn't properly tucked in.
The hanging rod is probably positioned a bit out in the interior so it's possible to hang like in a regular 60 wardrobe.

So it's not the wardrobe that is 45 deep, but the interior. It's not a problem to hang hangers on this, you don't hang them right in the middle (at 22.5 cm) but a bit out, in the middle of the 60 cm deep wardrobe, i.e. at 30 cm. I just checked my Elfa, that interior is 50 deep and the hangers stick out 5 cm from the interior.
So what is the problem other than you misunderstanding how to measure and assemble a wardrobe? It would be really strange if the floor doesn't go all the way to the wall.

The information we have received from our seller afterward
is that Lumi only manufactures their wardrobes and interiors in 45, if you have any other information,
I would be very happy if you could link to it so I could show it to my seller.
But above all, I hope someone can suggest the smartest way to trim the floor, to get the joint in the right place.
If it would work with a metal sheet underneath as protection for the heating pipes, similar to the variant I described earlier.
