Abstract

The invention relates to structures such as folding (tambour) doors comprising longitudinal juxtaposed slats and comprises a method of making such structures by introducing a molten synthetic resinous mass containing a foaming agent into a mould, permitting foaming of the mass and compressing the mass with a ribbed mould plunger to a predetermined distance above the floor of the mould to constitute the hinges.
