Mentone's Edwardian and California-bungalow homes near the beach get the same careful, on-site measure as any Brodco job further inland.
Mentone is a genuine bayside suburb on the Frankston line, known for its beach, esplanade cafes and the heritage streets around Mentone Grammar. Housing ranges from Edwardian and California bungalow homes close to the water to newer townhouses further back from the beach.
Character homes like these often have more original detail to work around than a standard project home, so we measure carefully rather than assume a modern cavity size. Every wardrobe we design has to work with the room as it actually is.

In Mentone's older character homes, we're regularly asked to fit a wardrobe that suits a period bedroom without looking out of place against original picture rails or skirting. Closer to the beach, salt air and humidity also come up more often in our material choices than they would further inland.
In the larger character homes set back from the beach, a walk-in wardrobe can work well if the main bedroom has the depth for it. Closer to the water, where blocks and rooms are often more modest, a built-in wardrobe designed to suit the home's period detail is usually the better fit.
