Considering the dimensions of most city apartments, a compact and spacious balcony wardrobe will always come in handy in the household. But in the limited space of a balcony or loggia, a swing door is not relevant, but a roller shutter fits perfectly. Next, we will look at the varieties of such structures and talk about the choice, and craftsmen will receive 3 options for assembling a roller cabinet on a loggia with their own hands.
A loggia wardrobe with roller shutters is considered an excellent solution for a city apartment.
What are roller shutters
Any balcony on both sides has a fairly spacious space, which is optimally used for installing a cabinet. However, models with hinged doors will require even more space when open, which can be extremely uncomfortable for the user. Therefore, furniture designers came up with an original, practical, functional solution - installing a wardrobe with roller shutters.
The doors of such interior items have been replaced with roller shutters, allowing you to economically plan the space of a balcony or loggia. Roller shutters are made of slats mounted horizontally into a continuous surface. Thanks to the presence of furniture roller shutters, the slats move along guides, which allows the canvas to slide behind the wall or gather in a special box silently. More expensive models may have a special motor and a button that starts it.
The material from which manufacturers create planks is not afraid of temperature changes, moisture, or sunlight, so they retain their attractiveness and comfort for a long time. Often, this is aluminum, carefully coated with paint, which demonstrates high resistance to wear.
In terms of their aesthetics, roller shutters for balcony closets are similar to blinds and are easy to use. They provide a person with the ability to open the locker completely. Full opening of the cabinet is very convenient for the user when it is necessary to place something bulky inside the cabinet. For example, a box. At the same time, sliding doors allow you to open it only halfway.

Main types of structures
Modern wardrobes with roller shutters are a very practical design, which is characterized by many positive qualities:
- compact size, low weight;
- ability to protect contents from dust,
- original design;
- long service life, strength;
- low maintenance requirements. Such products should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust;
- ease of installation.
Such furniture on the balcony will free up enough space for relaxation on a summer evening. But which design to choose? After all, today balcony furniture with roller shutters is very diverse in its structure.
A spacious cabinet with roller shutters on the balcony can be manufactured in a wide variety of sizes. Therefore, before choosing a specific model, it is important to analyze the space of the balcony and its dimensions. This will allow you to choose the optimal scale of furniture.
It can also have a variety of designs. Depending on the number of roller shutters used, they are distinguished:
- models with solid roller shutters are a rack with shelves of different heights, which are hidden from prying eyes by a continuous sheet. The slats open from bottom to top, moving along guides;
- designs with multiple roller shutters. Often such a cabinet consists of several cabinets installed one on top of the other with their own roller shutters. The convenience of such models is that there is no need to open the entire contents of the cabinet. It is enough to open the roller shutters in the part where the required item is located.
Based on the mechanism of movement of the lamella fabric, there are:
- designs with roller shutters that rise along guides, exposing the contents of the cabinet and collecting them in a special box;
- models with a canvas that slides into the side of the structure.

Manufacturing materials
The roller shutters themselves are often made of lightweight aluminum, which is coated with special paint. This allows you to significantly expand the color schemes of roller shutters and successfully fit the cabinet into the balcony decoration in any style and color. Aluminum is resistant to negative factors, therefore it is very practical and functional. Roller shutters made from this material last a long time and rarely become unusable quickly after installation.
If you plan to make a cabinet with such elements yourself, it is important to read the technology for performing the work and become familiar with the tools necessary for this. The appearance and operational parameters of the future product largely depend on the quality of the materials and tools used. To make a cabinet with roller shutters for a balcony on your own, you must have such materials available.
| Material | Purpose |
| Beam with a section of 40x40 mm | The furniture frame is constructed from it and the cabinet is mounted to the floor covering. For a model with one cavity, the frame is a structure of four vertical posts. If the cabinet is planned to be divided into two vertical cavities, you will need six slats and a partition in the form of a board. To fix the furniture on the floor, you will need four more beams. |
| Fiberboard sheet | Use it to decorate the back of the cabinet. Attached to the frame using a construction stapler. |
| 2 sheets of laminated chipboard (waterproof) | Necessary for creating product elements. |
| Metal corners | With their help, the shelves can be fixed at the current height. |
| Furniture roller shutters | It is better to choose aluminum products that are resistant to wear. |
| Fasteners | Provide reliable fixation of all furniture elements. |
You should not make shelves inside the cabinet that are too narrow or long, as they can bend under heavy load. Wide square shelves can withstand heavier loads.
You can also refuse to use vertical guides, armed with one more additional part, a stiffener. It is installed between vertical partitions in the place where bulky items need to be placed.
As a result, the cabinet with roller shutters will be affordable, made from natural materials, safe, roomy, and reliable.

How to do it yourself
There are several options for solving the problem of arranging a balcony space and rationally storing things in an apartment. Both of these questions are answered by a comfortable, spacious, practical closet with roller shutters. It can be ordered from the manufacturer, in a private workshop, bought in a store, or made on your own. The first option may be high cost, the second may be somewhat inconvenient, since finding a cabinet with specific parameters may be difficult, and the third option for solving this issue will require a developed imagination, some skills, time, and inspiration from a person.
The craftsman will also need a number of tools in the process of making such a design:
- hammer;
- wood hacksaw;
- screwdriver;
- drill with drill bits for wooden and concrete surfaces;
- measuring tape, simple pencil;
- building level.
If the tools are prepared, you can proceed to creating a drawing on which you will need to display all the elements of the future cabinet and their dimensions. Be sure to ensure that the balcony is glazed first. This will preserve the condition of the furniture for as long as possible. It is also worth analyzing the floor surface for deviations from the level. If the floor has significant unevenness, they should be eliminated by performing a floor screed. The walls to which the cabinet will adjoin should also be leveled using a plaster mixture.
If the work is being done for the first time, it is worth first making a mock-up of the frame from cardboard. This will allow you to determine the exact amount of materials that will be required.
To ensure that the future product acquires the correct geometric shape, carefully check the bars for evenness using a building level. Then the roller shutters will move freely along the guides and will not jam. Use only waterproof materials during work. When the preparatory work is completed, proceed to installing the frame.
Installation of a built-in cabinet is done on your own in the following sequence of operations:
- make edgings for the ceiling and floor in the shape of a rectangle, installing them sequentially one above the other;
- build the frame of the model from wooden blocks 40x40 mm;
- secure the side walls of the cabinet to the loggia on vertical bars;
- screw the bottom plate and the cover of the structure, and the internal partition to them;
- install horizontal shelves across the vertical slats of the frame;
- Hang roller shutters instead of closet shutters on the balcony, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Please note that cutting laminated chipboard sheets with your own hands can be problematic. This service can be ordered from professionals so that chips and unevenness on the surface of the future cabinet are not depressing.

Noise protection
There are Rehau furniture blinds, which are called acoustic. The company has a special line RAUVOLET Acoustic-line. As a rule, they are used in office or retail premises. Their important feature is the sound absorption effect. Office partitions based on acoustic roller shutters significantly reduce the noise level in the room, which increases the work comfort of employees.
Their effectiveness is due to the use of a perforated profile and a specialized acoustic layer, which allows them to absorb 80% of high and low frequency sounds.
