The Salice Futura 480mm soft-close undermount slide is a full-extension concealed runner built for European-style casework dimensioned in metric. It mounts beneath the drawer box, keeps all hardware out of sight when the drawer is open, and closes on the Futura line's integrated Smove soft-close damper. Rated 75 lb per pair, it suits kitchen and bath drawers in the 480mm nominal length class.
Metric undermount slides are specified by nominal length, and the 480mm class covers the drawer depth range common in European production cabinetry — roughly the equivalent of a standard base cabinet drawer without forcing an inch-to-millimeter approximation. Shops running metric CNC programs and cutting drawer boxes to metric dimensions can order this slide and build the box to Salice's published specification for the Futura series without converting measurements. The 480mm Futura is the right reach for pantry and kitchen drawers where access to the full interior matters. The Smove damper means the close is quiet and controlled regardless of how hard the drawer is pushed shut — a detail that matters on high-use kitchen drawers that get pushed closed with a hip or an elbow dozens of times a day.
The Futura runner is steel with a zinc finish — a functional pairing built for indoor cabinet interiors where the slide stays concealed beneath the box in normal use. The zinc finish resists the light humidity and temperature variation of residential and light-commercial kitchens. Because the slide mounts under the drawer rather than on its sides, the steel members stay out of sight and the finish serves a protective rather than decorative role. The integrated Smove damper is built into the Futura runner body, so there are no clip-on accessories to lose or align separately.
Production cabinet shops running European-style frameless construction in metric dimensions are the core buyer here. The Futura line sells in metric lengths — 480mm is a standard catalog size, not a special order — so it integrates cleanly into a metric workflow without improvised conversions. Designers specifying handle-less modern kitchens will find the concealed runner and soft-close a natural pairing with flat-panel fronts. Installers completing a Salice Futura system should note that locking devices and front fixing clips are Futura-specific: accessories from other brands or other Salice lines do not interchange with Futura hardware.
Salice Futura runners are sold as handed left or right singles in many configurations. Confirm the sold-as unit for this SKU before ordering — a complete drawer installation requires one left-hand and one right-hand member. The weight capacity of 75 lb is stated per pair.
The standard Futura Smove model is designed for drawer material in the 12 to 16mm range (approximately 1/2 to 5/8 inch). For 3/4 inch (19mm) drawer sides, use the Futura 7955-series model instead — the two versions are not interchangeable.
The Futura line is designed for frameless (European-style) cabinet construction. Face-frame installations require rear mounting support behind the frame; check that your cabinet construction and the available rear bracket configuration match before specifying this runner in face-frame work.
No. Futura front fixing clips and locking devices are engineered specifically for the Futura runner system and do not fit slides from other brands or other Salice series. Order Futura-specific accessories to complete the installation.
Yes. Like all undermount slides, the Futura requires the drawer box to be built to Salice's published specification for the series: nominal 480mm length, correct box width for the slide's side clearance, bottom recess, rear notch, and locking-device drilling. An unmodified or off-spec box will not seat correctly on the runners.
When the shop runs metric and the drawer box is sized in millimeters, starting with a 480mm Futura slide eliminates the guesswork — build to spec, hang the drawer, and move on to the next one.
