Mechanisms and rail systems

With our tambour door systems you can choose between rear or side-wall (spiral) track systems for horizontal cupboards. And when it comes to vertical models, you can take your pick from seven different mechanisms.

Track systems

Whether it’s front-mounted, milled or surface-mounted, choosing the right rail system can make all the difference. With REHAU, you’re bound to find the right one for you.
