Outwater Industries Tambour Track 1-1/32"W x D, Plastic - 4T5C-48

Brown Finish and a 48-Inch Run for Larger Appliance Garage Openings

This Outwater Industries tambour track guides a tambour door along a straight path in an appliance garage or cabinet opening, and its brown finish makes it the right match for darker wood species and stained cabinetry where a white or clear track would stand out.

Key Features

• Brown finish blends with walnut, cherry, mahogany, and other darker cabinet finishes.
• 48-inch length suits wider or taller appliance garage openings that a shorter track cannot span.
• Straight profile directs the tambour door along a linear path from open to closed.
• Plastic construction keeps the track lightweight and allows it to be cut to length on site.
• Accepts door panels 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch thick, covering the common range of tambour slat assemblies.
• 1-1/32-inch wide channel sized to guide the slat panel without binding.

Where This Track Belongs

An appliance garage hides a toaster, a coffee maker, or a small appliance behind a tambour door, and the track is what keeps that door moving in a controlled path. This 48-inch length handles the full run of a wider garage opening or a taller vertical installation where a shorter section would leave the door without guidance at the top or bottom. Straight tambour applications, such as a horizontal roll across the front of an appliance bay or a vertical lift along one side, are where a straight-profile track like this one belongs. For curved or radius openings, a flexible track is the right call instead.

Material and Finish

The track is plastic, which keeps weight low and makes field-cutting straightforward with a fine-tooth saw or a utility knife and a straight edge. At 5/16 inch in height, the channel sits low enough to stay visually quiet inside the cabinet opening. The brown color is the practical choice whenever the surrounding cabinetry is a medium to dark wood tone: it disappears into the frame rather than reading as a contrasting line across a stained or painted dark surface. The slot accepts tambour door panels between 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch thick, so it works with most standard slat-backed tambour panels sourced from cabinet and millwork suppliers.

Who Should Specify This Track

Cabinet shops building appliance garages into darker kitchens, designers specifying a coordinated tambour assembly, and finish carpenters retrofitting a garage door into an existing run will all find this track useful when the opening is wide enough to need a 48-inch piece. It is also a practical buy for anyone building a second garage unit to match an existing installation where the track color needs to be consistent. The tambour door panel and any mounting hardware for the specific garage assembly are separate purchases, so confirm the full track layout before ordering quantity.

Common Questions

The Right Track for a Darker Cabinet Build

Specify this 48-inch brown tambour track when the appliance garage opening is wide, the cabinetry is a medium to dark finish, and the door panel needs a full straight run of guidance from end to end.
