Types of roller shutters
1. Roller shutters differ in the material from which they are made:
- Plastic roller shutters are practical and lightweight, such roller shutters are beautiful (in addition to the usual ones - white and gray, you can choose the option with photo printing, “wood-like” or metallized roller shutters).
- Aluminum roller shutters are durable, reliable and resistant to temperature changes.
- Wooden roller shutters are either plastic options, decorated to look like wood, or cabinets with lattice doors that look like roller shutters (due to the slats). Sometimes they are called shutter doors, but this is solely due to their appearance, and not due to their functional features.
2. Roller shutters may vary depending on the types of cabinets: roller shutters for a balcony closet, roller shutters for a sanitary closet, for a wardrobe, for a china cabinet, etc.
Installation instructions
When installing it yourself, it is enough to use simple tools: drill, screwdriver, hammer, level, tape measure. First you need to determine the dimensions of the opening and calculate the height of the canvas. This can be entrusted to a specialist from a company that manufactures roller shutters to order, or you can invite a measurer to eliminate errors in measurements.
The finished kit contains all the necessary elements: fasteners, lamellas, guides and control mechanism.
The blinds are attached to the cabinet after the furniture body is completely assembled and stationary, and the shelves are installed in their places. The roller shutters are assembled in the following sequence:
- The fabric is wound on a shaft inside the box. To do this you will need to disassemble the block.
- Assemble the supporting frame of the structure, consisting of side and bottom profiles.
- The block with the shaft is fixed to the ends of the side elements of the frame.
- The canvas is unwound, inserted into the guides.

Additionally, think about the decorative component. After all, roller shutters will replace ordinary doors, and therefore must be beautiful and match the interior of the room. But if you focus only on external characteristics, you run the risk of rapid failure of the blinds and loss of their decorative and operational characteristics. However, different materials behave differently in the conditions of certain premises. Therefore, I advise you to start your choice with the material.
When selecting materials for the manufacture of furniture roller shutters, rely on:
- room humidity;
- presence of temperature changes;
- exposure to direct sunlight.
Let's briefly go through the materials presented.
Plastic structures
. Most Popular. They are quickly produced and do not require special storage conditions. They protect the contents of furniture well from dust and dirt and are not afraid of moisture. An excellent choice for a bathroom, toilet, balcony or corridor.
Metal blinds
. Like plastic, metal does not require careful maintenance. Lightweight aluminum and its alloys are usually used. But metal is stronger and more durable. Often such roller shutters are used to complete a kitchen set. Due to special treatment they can not be afraid of high humidity. In terms of design diversity they are inferior to plastic.
Wooden roller shutters
. The most expensive ones are made mainly to order. Require special storage conditions. In terms of functionality they are not inferior to competitors. But they are not suitable for rooms with high humidity. A good choice for shutter doors in closed closets, living rooms, and loggias.
How to choose furniture blinds
When choosing blinds, you need to carefully consider some important points. Tips for choosing roller shutters:
- The material of the products should be chosen taking into account the style of the premises in which the blinds are planned to be installed. For example, glass roller shutters are perfect for a modern kitchen interior. They can also withstand heavy loads, are scratch resistant and look original. Aluminum roller shutters are good for a high-tech living room. Made of wood for the bedroom;
- It is recommended to inspect the opening mechanism and guide elements very carefully. The quality and reliability of these parts ensure convenient and durable use;
- First, it is worth deciding whether it is necessary to install a lock in order to lock the roller shutters. If additional protection is necessary, then you need to choose a design where such a system is provided by the manufacturers. And also for protective purposes it is better to choose metal blinds;
- If the requirements for furniture roller shutters regarding operation and aesthetics are quite high, then for their installation you should contact a professional to prevent damage to the appearance and functional perfection of the structure.
It is really very convenient to use furniture equipped with blinds. The use of roller shutters for furniture in the office or at home is a justified way to improve the furnishings.
