Get Listed
Where space is limited, conventional hinged doors are not always the most practical option. Tambour doors and roller shutters provide an alternative by opening within their own track system, removing the need for clearance in front of a cabinet or storage area.
Tatra Rotalac manufactures both vertical and side-opening tambour shutter systems for a wide range of applications, including office furniture, healthcare environments, retail displays, kitchens, campervans, boats and other specialist storage solutions.
Vertical and Side-Opening Systems
The company's vertical opening range includes both balanced spring and simple tambour systems. The Balanced Spring Roller system incorporates a mechanism designed to provide a smooth and easy opening action, while the simpler vertical option runs directly within a formed or moulded channel.
For applications where a side-opening arrangement is more suitable, Tatra Rotalac also manufactures track-guided systems using plastic, aluminium or steel slats. Its Ecoslat system has been developed specifically for smooth and quiet operation, with a rigid surface designed to avoid the uneven appearance sometimes associated with multi-strand shutters.
Bespoke Sizes, Materials and Finishes
Tambour doors and roller shutters are available in both standard and bespoke sizes, allowing systems to be specified around the available space and the requirements of the finished product.
Material options include plastic, aluminium, steel and wood, with a wide selection of colours and finishes available. These include solid colours matched to RAL or Pantone specifications, foils, metallic finishes and translucent options.
Tatra Rotalac can also support customers from the initial design stage through prototyping and into final production, making the systems suitable for bespoke furniture, product design and OEM applications as well as more conventional storage installations.
Starting with the Right Dimensions
For anyone planning a new cabinet or storage system, the internal height, width and depth provide the most useful starting point when discussing a suitable shutter arrangement.
From there, the Tatra Rotalac team can advise on factors such as opening direction, material choice, finish, frequency of use and security requirements to help identify the most appropriate system for the application.
With more than 80 years of plastics manufacturing experience behind the business, Tatra Rotalac continues to provide made-to-measure shutter solutions for customers across commercial, healthcare, retail, transport and leisure sectors.
