Tambour Cupboards

A Buyers Guide to Office Storage Products

CH Workspace stocks all the office storage products that you are likely to need! Our best seller is the versatile Tambour Cupboard range, there are many different variants, most of which are held in stock and available for delivery in as little as five working days.
The modern tambour cupboards have slatted doors which ‘roll’ into the side of the cupboard. Unlike earlier models, which rolled vertically, modern tambour mechanisms are reliable and maintenance free Taking up very little space in the side of the cupboard, they free up a lot of space at the front of the cupboard, unlike traditional swing door systems. Unlike some competitors cupboards, our tambours come with a full set of adjustable shelves. All of our shelves include fittings for standard lateral filing systems, so no optional extras are needed to fully equip our cupboards for standard filing. Naturally, specific shelves are available for specific purposes, for example the storage of computer media. We also have pull-out filing frames for vertical file storage, and special pull out library-type shelves for examining file contents. Our extensive tambour cupboard range has a wide variety of sizes, frame finishes and door finishes to match almost any office environment. Most of our Tambour cupboards have a pre-welded steel frame for maximum stability and security, but we do have flatpacked and wood variants available as well. Continue reading »

Tambour cupboards are a recent innovation in office furniture. They are an excellent means of storing files, as well as general office storage such as stationary, brochures, supplies etc. The key feature of a tambour cupboard is that the doors are made from slats and they roll into the top or the side of the cupboard.

Tambour Cupboards

Originally they rolled up into the top of the cupboard, but this has recently been superseded by side-rolling doors. The old vertical mechanisms were prone to failure, they took up a lot of space and, because of the height of the cupboard, could be difficult for people of below average height to manipulate. The newer side opening doors take up much less space and are much easier to use.

Most offices have thought very carefully about the amount of general storage and filing capacity they need, but often forget about the smaller items which need to be safely stored.
Many of the tambour storage units in the market have accessories to deal with stationery, Data CDs, and card holders etc, but what about business stationery, order and requisition forms and other specialist paper products for their business.

Thankfully the versafile system of small storage drawers may be the answer.  The system comprises 3 basic, self contained drawer units, all with the same external dimensions, but having either 2 large drawer, 3 intermediate drawer, or 6 small drawers fitted inside it.

You really need to speak to an office furniture dealer or visit a showroom to see what is available.  In the meantime the following may give you a better idea of what options are available :-

The dinosaurs were great creatures. Large, bulky and cumbersome, they occupied  most continents in the  prehistoric world. They were at the top of the tree in evolutionary terms and nothing  questioned their presence, and then…..
A huge asteroid hit Earth and changed its climate cataclysmically; the lumbering and heavy-footed dinosaur could not keep up with the times and one by one they crashed to the ground, dying  from starvation.

 In less than 80 years they had become extinct; the only proof of their existence being a massive collection of dinosaur bones, buried deep under ground, all over the world.

Everyone should be considering their carbon footprint nowadays, and your office space is a good place to start. Obvious things like only printing documents when absolutely necessary, switching off office machines when not in use, and using the heating and air-con less frequently, are probably being done already, but have you thought about other areas where you can make a difference ?

Probably the most common problem we encounter in today’s office is that there is never enough storage space. Clients often want to cram more staff into the office and forget that more people and more work usually create more filing and there is nowhere to put it. So we need to look at space efficient and creative storage solutions.

The much loved filing cabinet is still in use in many offices but often only because no one has explained the many alternatives available. Filing cabinets have to be the most space inefficient product available for offices and I always do my best to steer clients away from them.

The problem is that at 60cm deep and only around 135cm high, plus allowing another 60cm to open the drawers, filing cabinets take up a huge amount of floor space and are always used as a dumping ground for rubbish.
