Tambour panels in base shapes

Designs of Distinction introduced three new shapes for its tambour panels: Angled, Cylinder, and Rectangle. Angled and Rectangle base shapes are constructed with solid wood ends and solid maple plywood side panels. Solid maple plywood panels allow for greater structural build, as opposed to MDF, the company says.

DOD includes a template to cut the tambour, which is then applied to the solid plywood side panels and finished with paint or stain of the customer's choice.

The Cylinder base shape is manufactured from multiple layers of heavyweight paperboard, with a similar density to MDF. Tambour is applied to the exterior of the Cylinder, then painted or stained. The Cylinder shape includes end plugs with a hole to allow for additional support and electrical wiring.

Each shape measures 34.5 in.H and features recessed panels for bevel, bead, cove, and square style tambour up to 1/2 in. thick. Shapes and tambour are shipped unfinished, ready to stain or paint upon delivery.
