Bypass Bifold Shutters For Raleigh Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in Raleigh are the perfect partner for interior shutters. Shutters improve your privacy, block light, don’t sway like blinds or shades, 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 work best for your sliding doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Raleigh
The more prevalent of the two sliding door shutter builds is the bypass configuration. For bypass shutters, two shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can reach past the door to let the shutter completely slide to the side.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Raleigh
As the name implies, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Rather than two big, solid panels that slide on a track, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are built with smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the view in front of your sliding door.
