18 Inch Undermount Slide For High-Capacity Kitchen and Bath Drawers

The Blum MOVENTO is an 18 inch full-extension undermount drawer slide with integrated BLUMOTION soft-close, rated 110 lb per pair — the higher-capacity step up from the TANDEM line, built for drawers that carry real weight while staying fully concealed beneath the box.

Key Features

• 110 lb capacity per pair — handles loaded pots-and-pans, utensil, and utility drawers that standard 90 lb slides cannot.
• Full extension — the entire drawer travels out to the cabinet face, putting rear contents within reach.
• Integrated BLUMOTION soft-close — a built-in damper catches the drawer in the last inch of travel and settles it shut silently.
• Fully concealed undermount design — the slide mounts beneath the drawer box, so nothing but wood is visible when the drawer is open.
• Roller-bearing carriage on steel members — smooth, quiet pull under load with a zinc finish for long indoor service life.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets — one slide model covers both construction types with the correct series hardware.

Where MOVENTO Earns Its Place

The 110 lb per pair rating is what separates MOVENTO from the TANDEM plus BLUMOTION line's 90 lb ceiling. That difference matters most in kitchen base cabinets where drawers carry cast iron, heavy cookware, or stacked dishware — loads that push a standard undermount toward its limit. It also suits wide utility drawers in laundry rooms and bath vanities where the box itself adds significant weight before any contents go in. If the drawer is light and stays light, the TANDEM series covers it; when the load is heavy or unpredictable, MOVENTO gives the margin.

Build and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish deliver years of reliable indoor service. The roller-bearing carriage keeps travel smooth and quiet even under sustained loads, and because the slide sits entirely beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish is functional rather than decorative — it protects the steel, not the aesthetic. The 3/16 inch side clearance between the drawer box side and the cabinet interior is consistent with the TANDEM series, so shops already cutting boxes to Blum tolerances can move to MOVENTO without changing their drawer-width formula.

Who This Slide Suits

Cabinet shops running production kitchens will find MOVENTO the right answer when a client specifies concealed slides and the drawers are going to be genuinely heavy. Designers specifying premium handle-less kitchens can pair MOVENTO with Blum's TIP-ON BLUMOTION system for touch-open functionality on heavily loaded drawers — the MOVENTO line supports that configuration. Contractors and remodelers replacing drawer hardware in existing kitchens should confirm the box is built to the Blum 18 inch nominal specification before ordering: MOVENTO, like all undermounts, requires the box width, bottom recess, and rear notch to match the slide's published spec. For 3/4 inch drawer sides, this 5/8 inch version does not apply — a different model is needed.

The Right Slide for Drawers That Work Hard

When the drawer is heavy, the cabinet front is clean, and the close has to be silent, MOVENTO at 110 lb per pair is the slide to reach for — order one pair per drawer and add the series locking devices and any rear brackets your cabinet construction requires.
