Door Panel Rattle Solution | Floating Panel Spacers
Floating panel rattling is a common issue in cabinet and passage door manufacturing. Proper panel spacing helps reduce unwanted movement while still allowing for natural wood expansion and contraction.
Panel Buddies and Panel Balls are designed to help manufacturers reduce panel rattle while maintaining smooth floating panel performance.
What causes panel rattle?
Panel rattle can occur when:
- panel grooves are oversized
- wood shrinks seasonally
- insufficient tension exists around panel
- panels move excessively during handling or use
Properly sized panel spacers help apply controlled pressure that reduces unwanted movement.
