Can I achieve a controlled appearance with CurvTambour?
The warmth and attractive appearance of genuine wood (both solids and veneers) is due, in large part, to natural color, grain and texture variations. Because these characteristics are desirable and cannot realistically be “controlled” our firm does not warrant matching of color, grain or texture of tambour panels. In any of the metallic or color laminate-faced tambour, there is an occasional uncontrollable variation of color tone or shade. For all tambours, therefore, it is suggested that before an installation is made, the panels be positioned in the actual area in such a manner as to give a pleasing and balanced color arrangement. If I order a Tambour style in 2 different lengths ( 95/96″ and 119/120″) will both match or be made at the same time from same raw material lot? No. Regardless of the raw material used (solid wood, wood veneer, metal, etc) each length is manufactured from raw material produced for that specific length. Also, refer to the FAQ on controlled appearance.
