Max. tambour door slat lengths, cabinet heights and widths
- The tambour door slats run horizontally on tambour doors with vertical running direction and vertically on tambour doors with horizontal running direction.
- With vertical running direction, the max. tambour door slat length refers to a mainly vertical guidance.
- In order to prevent diagonal movement, ensure that the roller shutter is long enough to extend beyond the bend when tambour door is closed.
- With tambour doors with roll-up mechanism, the roller shutter on the roll-up mechanism inside the cabinet must be long enough for at least 1 more revolution when closed.

Roller shutter size calculation
Vertical version | Width mm | Length mm | Use of counterbalancing mechanism (groove mounted guide track) The roller shutter length varies if a counterbalancing mechanism is mounted to the rear side of the cabinet to support the tambour door when being opened and closed. |
With running track and bend (groove mounted guide track) | Internal cabinet width + 12 | Internal cabinet height + 30 |
With running track and roll-up mechanism (surface mounted guide track) | Internal cabinet width – 10 | Internal cabinet height + internal cabinet depth |
Vertical version | Width mm | Length mm |
With running track and bend (groove mounted) | Internal cabinet width + 12 | Internal cabinet height + internal cabinet depth |
Stabilising the roller shutters
For fixing assembled roller shutters, cotton adhesive tape has to be stuck onto the rear side of the roller shutter:
- 2 strips at a distance of approx. 100 mm to the shutter edge with roller shutters up to 800 mm wide
- A third strip of adhesive tape in the centre with roller shutters wider than 800 mm.
Lacquering the roller shutter (only for plain colours)
Certain commercial lacquers can be used for lacquering the roller shutters without pre-treatment.
In order to lacquer the edges properly, bend the roller shutter. Cover the soft plastic sealing lip on the lock strip before lacquering the roller shutter (can not be lacquered).
Counterbalancing mechanisms |
 |  | Following counterbalancing mechanisms can be used for the groove mounted version of the plastic tambour doors. With tambour doors with roll-up mechanism, the spring packages in the roll-up mechanism function as counterbalancing mechanism and support opening and closing the tambour doors. |
