Tambour Doors
At WAIVIS we have been supplying bespoke tambour doors for many years now, we understand that our customers often need a tailor-made solution to complete one-off projects at a quick turnaround, and this is at the very core of our business.
Tambour Doors
Tambour doors are one of the most versatile design options – they can be used horizontally or vertically, and the front panel can be designed to your specifications, making them perfectly fit even the tightest of spaces. Tambour doors have the ability to become a feature with statement colours, or can achieve the exact opposite and achieve minimalism by hiding objects or spaces until they are required.
Vertical shutters are ideally suited for applications where floor space is at a premium. The shutter rolls up into the top of the cabinet leaving the whole footprint of the cabinet available to use. The weight of the shutter is supported by a counterbalance mechanism (usually a spring) to support it at any open position. WAIVIS have a range of different counterbalance mechanisms, including the easy to fit WAIVIS Cassette. A range of different finishes are available including plain colours, printed decors, aluminium and even glass. Vertical opening shutters are more hygienic, as dirt cannot collect in the running tracks, making them suitable for kitchen and medical applications.
- Vertical shutters open up and down
- Sizes up to 1400mm wide and 2300mm tall
- For ease of use, tall units fitted with mid grip handle
- Optional aluminium handle at the bottom
- Locking mechanism available
Side opening tambours were originally developed for the office environment and are a cost effective solution, as a counterbalance mechanism is not required. Nowadays, they are also used in other areas of application such as shopfitting, caravan and leisure as well domestic environments. A side opening shutter runs in a horizontal running track, which can be routed into the cabinet or screwed to the inside surface, making these a versatile option for series production batches.
- Side opening shutters open horizontally
- Sizes up to 1600mm wide and 2300mm tall
- Available as single or double door opening
- Optional aluminium handle for extra rigidity

Our range of shutter profiles include traditional plain RAL colours as well as translucent, metallic and wood effect tambours which are produced using state of the art printing technology to ensure an attractive, hard wearing high quality decorative finish.
These polymer materials are supplemented by WAIVIS’ specialty tambour offering made from aluminium, steel or even glass which ensures WAIVIS can offer the perfect shutter solution for your project.
Shutters produced from alternative polymer materials, such as environmentally friendly Polypropylene, are available on request.
