Bifold Bypass Shutters For Boise Sliding Glass Doors
Indoor shutters are fantastic for sliding glass doors in Boise. Shutters improve your privacy, control lighting, don’t sway like vertical blinds or drapes, and can even last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on sliding door shutters, the next thing to decide is what kind of shutters would best fit your sliding glass doors.
Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Boise
The more popular of the two sliding glass door shutter builds is bypass shutters. For bypass shutters, two shutter panels slide on a track mounted above your sliding door. The shutters are offset so the panels slide over each other for easy operation of the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can reach beyond the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Boise
As the name suggests, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Instead of two big, solid shutter panels that slide on a track, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are separated into smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the way in front of your sliding glass door.
