Our customers often use louvered doors as interior swing doors and sliding interior partitions. Louvre doors can also be used as folding interior doors. Often our clients order louvered doors for dressing rooms, for cabinets in bathrooms, all for the same reason that they ventilate the room well when it is closed and do not allow a “stale” smell to appear. Louvre doors also solve the problem of masking the washing machine, because... The space inside the washing machine should be well ventilated and keeping it open is not always beautiful and convenient, so it is hidden in a cabinet with louvered doors that provide the necessary air circulation!
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.

Rules for selecting wooden shutter doors for a closet
Mainly, blind doors are used for cabinet furniture as facades. Since such blinds are made from natural wood, they always look noble. Among the main advantages and advantages of this type of facade, a few stand out. Furniture fronts made from blinds make it possible to more rationally use the narrowed space in small rooms, be it a utility room, a corridor or a balcony.
The slats that make up the blinds guarantee a stable supply of fresh air. Thanks to this, there will always be fresh air in the inside of the closet or bedside table, and things in them will not “suffocate”. Moisture will never accumulate in the closet or mold will appear, and certainly not moths will appear.
This structure is characterized by high reliability and wear resistance when using furniture. The fronts of cabinets with wooden shutter doors will always harmonize with any interior, since a huge number of shades will allow you to choose a color to suit every taste. It should be noted that there are some disadvantages of these designs. Among them: slats let in ultraviolet rays and any smell, wood does not tolerate sudden fluctuations in temperature and humidity in the room. This leads to deformation of the wood slats. Based on the above, we can safely conclude that a cabinet façade made of wooden blinds will look great in any interior. Recently, it has become fashionable to create a dressing room in apartments and houses. Such a room makes it possible to get rid of wardrobes. As a rule, such a room is adjacent to the bedroom, and in order to make the door panels as light as possible, wooden shutters are installed.
At the same time, such doors fit perfectly into the interior and can be:
- Sliding, like a coupe;
- Folding, like a book or an accordion;
- Traditional swing doors.
Such a device may have one or 2 doors. The slats can be horizontal or vertical. At the same time, it is possible to adjust the slats to your taste. There is one drawback to the louvered doors for the dressing room - the complete lack of sound insulation, which in this context is not significant.

Manufacturing of louvered doors
Let's look at the entire process of creating louvre filling for door panels using a specific example. Before you start making doors, you need to prepare tools and materials.
Tools
- Circular Saw;
- thicknesser;
- manual frezer;
- grinder;
- jigsaw;
- conductor;
- clamps;
- marking tool (ruler, square, marker);
- brushes
Materials
- pine beams and boards;
- wood glue or PVA;
- stain;
- furniture varnish.
Helpful information! The list of tools includes a conductor. It must be done to accurately form the grooves of the blind slats. How to make a simple conductor can be seen in the video:
Materials for custom shutter doors:
1) Solid wood from economical options made of pine to luxury louvered doors made of solid oak or even teak. These materials are completely environmentally friendly!
2) MDF coated with enamel - this is the most popular version of louvered doors; it is smooth, easy to process and inexpensive to manufacture.
3) MDF covered with veneer - this material completely imitates solid wood at a much lower cost. Veneer gives custom-made louvered doors not only a natural look, but also greater strength.
The use of curtains in furniture
As a rule, furniture roller doors for closets are used in structures that are located in different rooms of a house or apartment. They can be found on furniture, in the kitchen as a kitchen cabinet door, in the hallway, on the balcony, in the bathroom, in the bedroom closet as a curtain. Clothes and shoes are usually stored in the hallway. Openings can be equipped with roller blinds , which not only save space, but also make the interior of the room more interesting. All sorts of niches are often used in corridors. To give them a full overview, a slat system will help.
The kitchen usually has many small cabinets, upper and lower units. Roller shutters can be installed anywhere, but is there any point in decorating the entire façade with them? It is advisable to install blinds only on those parts that are difficult to reach, or another opening and closing system is not justified. Most often, roller shutters are used in cabinets near the oven, on hanging cabinets, and consoles. In the latter case, the canvas should open to the side.
Design Features
As a rule, lattice doors made of wood are installed to delimit space, create privacy, and block access to noise and odors. However, louvered structures have another important function - they allow you to regulate the flow of light into the room. The blinds can be opened, and then the light from one room will fall into another, or, for example, the shutters can be closed if you do not want prying eyes from the next room to watch you.
Wooden doors with blinds are produced according to the same principle as conventional standard swing or sliding structures. Simply, instead of a blank canvas, an element with strips is inserted inside the frame, which can be movable or solid (in the open state). The most commonly used wood for making louvered doors is pine and other coniferous woods.
When choosing louvered doors, give preference to models with wide slats. This feature guarantees strength and resistance to deformation. A product made from laminated wood will last you much longer than a solid one.
Wooden lattice doors can be used for both residential premises, such as bedrooms, and offices. You can often see such designs in the boss’s office. If necessary, he can close the doors during meetings, and if necessary, open them to monitor the wards.
How to make a wooden cabinet with your own hands? Step-by-step instructions for the manufacturing process
In accordance with the dimensions of the future structure and the layout of the apartment, a detailed image of the cabinet is created.
Sheets of plywood, chipboard or solid boards, which are planned to be used for the frame of the structure, are placed in accordance with the drawing and connected with nails and glue. The back of the cabinet is covered with thin (up to 1 cm) plywood and is also attached to it with nails and glue.
The doors are attached to the body using hinges or special fittings if a sliding wardrobe is being assembled.
Shelf fasteners are installed on the cabinet walls at a certain height. Next, shelves are attached to them using glue or nails, but some prefer not to use additional means for attachment.
If you use unvarnished and unpainted boards, it is necessary to varnish the cabinet, having previously sanded the surfaces.
Handles are selected individually to match the style of the cabinet and are installed at the end of assembly.
No matter how small your apartment is, it needs a spacious closet.
If you want to make a wooden cabinet with your own hands, then it is best not to cut the laminated chipboard sheet at home; it is better to entrust this task to specialists.
