Frequently Asked Questions
What drawer hardware does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries Blum TANDEMBOX and MOVENTO full-extension undermount drawer runner systems with integrated BLUMOTION soft-close damping. These are the premium European drawer system standard in high-quality kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. Side-mount drawer slides in full-extension configurations are also available for more economical applications.
What is the difference between undermount and side-mount drawer slides?
Undermount drawer slides attach to the bottom of the drawer box and are concealed when the drawer is open, providing a clean appearance with the full drawer interior visible. Side-mount slides attach to the sides of the drawer box and are visible when the drawer is open. Undermount slides generally provide smoother operation, greater weight capacity, and a more refined appearance.
What weight capacity do Blum drawer systems provide?
Blum MOVENTO undermount runners are rated at 40 kg (88 lbs) per set — sufficient for heavy pot and pans drawers and full-height pantry pullouts. TANDEMBOX systems provide comparable load ratings. These ratings assume correct installation and appropriate drawer box construction. Confirm the rated capacity of the specific Blum product for your application with Windsor Plywood staff.
What material should drawer boxes be made from?
Baltic birch plywood is the preferred material for high-quality drawer boxes due to its void-free construction, consistent thickness, and attractive edge appearance. Solid hardwood is used in traditional and custom furniture. Melamine-faced particleboard is common in production cabinetry. For undermount Blum drawer systems, the drawer box height dimensions must match the runner specifications — confirm dimensions with Windsor Plywood staff before cutting.
How do soft-close drawer mechanisms work?
Blum BLUMOTION soft-close technology uses a hydraulic damper integrated into the drawer runner that activates in the final few centimetres of closing travel. The damper decelerates the drawer smoothly and quietly regardless of how fast or forcefully it is pushed closed. The mechanism does not require maintenance and is rated for tens of thousands of operating cycles.
