If you have had anything to do with tambour door solutions, you will know about their many functional advantages, such as easy access, maximum elbowroom and ease of use.

The new vertical cassette system frame4 RAUVOLET metallic-line offers a lot more than that: It combines these positive properties with a high-quality real-metal look which also matches contemporary design preferences for unobtrusive lines with its super-slim four millimetre tambour door guides.

Excellent functionality and attractive metallic look

The latest style for the modern kitchen: Rectangular design, the finest materials and an easy-to-access storage area all merge seamlessly into a kitchen’s daily routine. The design effort ex-pended on comfort is of particular importance to the end customer, especially when designing their dream kitchen. REHAU, the polymer specialist, provides an array of products that meet these high expectations, such as the pre-finished tambour door system frame4 RAUVOLET metallic-line. It combines the functional properties of a polymer tambour door system with the attractive look of elegant metals such as brushed aluminium or stainless steel, a combination that succeeds in echoing the colour shades and exquisite impact that can be made by modern electrical devices. In addition, the new filigree guide system frame4 meets all expectations in terms of design purity.

Quick access with maximum elbowroom

A minimum of effort is needed to raise RAUVOLET metallic-line along the guide rails of the frame4 system and free the storage area behind the tambour doors. For example, a toaster or kettle could be stored here so as not to disturb the clean impression of the work surface. The tambour door’s specialised mechanism creates yet other advantages: There are no sliding or folding doors that could get in the way when open. A kitchen that has cabinets with tambour doors offers unrestricted elbowroom and maximum space around the cabinet. Should an unex-pected guest turn up, you can quickly put objects away behind the tambour doors, so that your kitchen looks clean and tidy again.

Perfect guides

The angular contours of RAUVOLET metallic-line attract attention: The frame4 guide rail, with a width of only 4 millimetres, further underscores the system’s pure-design look.

REHAU provides frame4 RAUVOLET metallic-line as a pre-finished vertical cassette system that can be installed immediately. The system can either be installed in the standard carcass, or fitted to the carcass of a special cabinet. Assembly that is as uncomplicated as the system’s look.

One absolute novelty is the patented specialised rod mechanism that operates the rear-wall tambour door systems. In conjunction with the 25-millimetre-wide slat profiles, this creates an entirely flat surface. When closed, the tambour door itself is completely smooth; there is no visible entry radius, unlike with other vertical pelmet cabinets.
