What is a tambour cupboard?
A tambour cupboard, or a tambour door cabinet if we’re being precise, is a cupboard with a tambour door. A tambour door is made of slats – narrow strips of metal, plastic or wood – which roll along tracks. At Paperstone all tambour cupboards are side opening which means that the slats are vertical and the doors retract into the cupboard’s sides – a bit like the doors of some kiosks and garages, except they retract vertically. For this reason, tambour cupboards need less space, making them ideal for confined spaces or for when space is otherwise at a premium.
