Why This Profile

The Profile in Detail

▪

Square Profile

Flat-topped square slats deliver a crisp, contemporary line that works equally well stained to show grain or painted for a graphic, architectural effect.

↩

Flexible Backing

The flexible backing makes this clean-lined profile available for curved installations — bar fronts, columns, and radius walls benefit from the square profile's modern character.

🌲

7 Species Available

Red Oak, Paint Grade, Hard Maple, Walnut, White Oak, Cherry, and Alder. The square profile is particularly striking in White Oak and Walnut with a natural finish.

🏢

Residential & Commercial

The 1/2″ square profile is a go-to for both residential accent walls and commercial interiors — hospitality, retail, and office installations where a consistent, modern texture is required.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 1/2″ Square Tambour — modern geometry in solid wood, ready for any surface.

Excellent product and great customer service

We are so pleased with our wood paneled backsplash. We were attempting to match a custom hood cover and none of the products in stores worked. Justin helped us, sent samples, and communicated throughout the process. When he was out of office, Devy fluidly took over. You won’t be disappointed by the product or the customer service. Added the hood we were trying to match!
