Solving your ”framed panel door” problems!

Space Balls compress, expand, float and centre door panels.
Solving your ”framed panel door” problems!

Space Balls are made of a rubber material that has a memory, returning to it’s original round shape. Space Balls will float and center door panels during seasonal humidity changes. When Space Balls are incorporated in the door frames, panels are cushioned and floating, avoiding panel rattle. Space Balls will expand and contract with wood movement protecting glue joints.

ace Balls are made of a rubber material

• centers solid panels
• compresses if panels expand
• stops panel rattle
• helps eliminate cracking glue joints

Space Balls will expand and contract

Space Balls need a minimum spacing of 5/32” per side. If you cut your stiles and crossers, as you would normally do for your panel doors......then cut your panels 5/32” smaller on all sides, this will leave the minimum space for proper installation and the Space Balls will be able to expand and contract as needed.

Please Note: If you are using a curved bottom dado slot this spacing must be increased to a minimum of 7/32 ” on all sides

We recommend 2 balls per side (possibly 3 if the door is very tall or wide). The Space Balls will be compressed when the door is assembled and will expand and compress with the movement of the wood.

Flat Bottom Dado Example:
if the Rail measures 10-1/2” the panel should be 10-3/16”

Curved Bottom Dado Example:
if the Rail measures 9” the panel should be 8-9/16”

It is advisable to keep the humidity content of the wood under consideration when constructing your doors.
