Bifold Bypass Shutters For Dallas Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in Dallas are best served by interior shutters. Shutters improve 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 next decision to make is what shutter configuration would best fit your sliding glass doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Dallas
The more common of the two sliding door shutter layouts is bypass shutters. In this setup, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above a sliding glass door. The panels are offset so the panels slide over each other for access to the door. Or if you have room to the side of your sliding door, the track can reach past the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Glass Doors In Dallas
As the name might tell you, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Instead of two big, solid frames that slide on a track, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are separated into smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the path in front of your sliding door.
