Bypass Bifold Shutters For Boston Sliding Glass Doors
Interior shutters are fantastic for sliding glass doors in Boston. Shutters help maximize your privacy, block light, won’t sway like blinds or curtains, and will probably last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on sliding door shutters, the only other thing to decide is what shutter configuration would best fit your sliding glass doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Boston
The more popular of the two sliding glass door shutter layouts is the bypass configuration. In this setup, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above a sliding glass door. The panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if there’s some room next to your sliding door, the track can extend beyond the doorframe to let the shutter completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Glass Doors In Boston
As the name implies, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Rather than two big, solid shutter panels that slide back and forth on a rail, bifold shutters are separated into smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the view in front of your door.
