Bifold Bypass Shutters For Indianapolis Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding doors in Indianapolis are the perfect partner for interior shutters. Shutters improve your privacy, block light, won’t sway like vertical blinds or curtains, and can even 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 work best for your sliding doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Indianapolis
The more prevalent of the two sliding glass door shutter builds is bypass shutters. In this setup, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The panels 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 doorframe to let the shutter completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Indianapolis
As the name implies, a bifold configuration for sliding door shutters allow the shutters to fold. Rather than two large, solid shutter panels that slide side to side on a rail, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are built with smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the view in front of your door.
