Why This Profile

The 1/4" Double Bead Difference

〜

1/4″ Double Bead Profile

Two rounded beads per slat at the narrowest pitch in our double bead lineup. At 1/4", the pattern creates an almost continuous textured surface — layers of rounded shadow that shift as the light angle changes throughout the day. The most detail-rich tambour profile we produce.

↩

Flexible Backing

The paper backing bends cleanly around curves, columns, and corners. Solid backing panels are also available for flat-surface applications where maximum rigidity is preferred.

🌲

7 Species Available

Choose from Red Oak, Paint Grade, Hard Maple, Walnut, White Oak, Cherry, and Alder — all premium North American hardwoods. Cherry and Alder are available exclusively in the 24″W × 46″L solid backing format.

Before You Install

Storage, Handling & Acclimation

Acclimate First — Always

On receipt, store flat in a controlled interior environment. Allow 24–48 hours to acclimate before finishing or installing. This stabilizes moisture content and reduces post-install movement. Before you begin, lightly roll and unroll each panel to flex the backing — hold the rolled position for 5+ seconds, then return flat.

Interior Use Only

Tambour panels are not suitable for wet or high-humidity environments including showers, bathrooms, or pools. Always install in a space with standard room temperature and humidity.

Installation

Step by Step

1

Prep the Surface

Wall must be clean, sound, and free of dust, grease, or debris. Apply primer to porous substrates for better adhesion.

2

Dry-Fit First

Always dry-fit before committing adhesive. Install vertically or horizontally — confirm your layout before you spread anything.

3

Apply Adhesive

Use PVA, contact, epoxy, or a quality panel adhesive (e.g., Titebond Fast Grab FRP). Trowel for 80–100% coverage to within ¼″ of edges. With a gun, run continuous beads around the perimeter and horizontal beads every 4–6″.

4

Press & Secure

Apply firm, uniform pressure across the full panel. Use a ¾″ sacrificial board when tapping or hammering. For curved applications, temporary bracing until the glue sets ensures clean contact throughout.

5

Leave Micro-Gaps

Leave a hairline gap between adjacent panels — roughly two stacked business cards — to accommodate natural wood movement over time.

6

Clean Up

Clean any adhesive squeeze-out immediately to avoid residue on slat faces. Wipe clean before it sets.

Installer Advice

Pro Tips

Pre-Stretch Inward

Before attaching, roll the panel inward to stretch the backing. This makes it more compliant and easier to handle, especially on curved surfaces.

Flex Outward with Intent

Follow up by flexing outward firmly to fully stretch the paper backing. A properly stretched panel lays flatter and adheres more evenly across the substrate.

No Cabinets Through Tambour

Never mount cabinets or furniture through the panel into the wall. Wood movement can cause buckling and will void the warranty.

Warranty Reminder

Warranty may be voided if panels are installed in high-moisture environments, or if cabinetry or furniture is mounted through the tambour panel into the wall. Always follow adhesive manufacturer's instructions and allow full acclimation prior to installation.

The 1/4″ Double Bead Tambour — two beads at the finest pitch, in solid North American hardwood.

Great product!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
This is my second time purchasing these shelves. They are easy to set up, come with all the screws, brackets, and drywall anchors (if needed). I definitely love the quality, look and versatility. Being that my ceiling is slanted I couldn’t mount them from there but easily mount them to the surface beneath the shelving. My husband loved my idea and how they turned out! Highly recommend!

No Instructions - Easy to build and study
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I ordered 3, and my wife loves the look of them. They seem to support a decent amount of weight. I supervised my 7 year old (55 lbs) as she scaled a single shelf bracket up the wall after it was mounted, without the planks. You do need to have some amount of handiness to be looking at buying as it does not come assembled, and does not have the wood planks with it. A little learning curve I had. Keep the rods only hand snug, not tight, snug, and then as you put it up to the wall adjust as needed to get the heights and widths right to the opposing shelf. There is also only 8 pipe brackets to hold the shelves down (2 per shelf) and I did not realize this at first and assumed I had 16 (4 per shelf). I had to go back and fix.

Game changing storage!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I love the shelves. I got to use my own wood which was a reclaimed piece that I found and sanded and then stained. I'm so proud to see them on the shelves. It got so much clutter corralled from around the room and put in one place where it all looks good displayed together. The support pieces are very good quality and I found this to be very good value for the price. I'm very happy with this item.

Good all around, some imperfections on threads difficult to screw together
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I received a complete product as advertised, it's a solid steel design with everything you need to mounted included. One small issue I encountered is that the pieces screw together but they wouldn't screw all the way it felt difficult and possibly if forced the steel might crack. Unfairly enough other pieces did completely screw in. So it's probably because of imperfections on the threads.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.
