Bypass Bifold Shutters For Philadelphia Sliding Glass Doors
Indoor shutters are great for sliding glass doors in Philadelphia. Shutters help maximize your privacy, block light, don’t sway like vertical blinds or curtains, and can even last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on shutters for a sliding door, the next choice to make is what kind of shutters would look best with the sliding glass doors in your space.
Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Philadelphia
The more common of the two sliding glass door shutter options is bypass shutters. For bypass shutters, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for easy operation of the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can reach past the doorframe to allow the shutter panel to completely slide to the side.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Philadelphia
As the name implies, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Rather than two large, solid frames that slide back and forth on a track, bifold shutters are separated into smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the view in front of your sliding glass door.
