Bifold Bypass Shutters For Atlanta Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in Atlanta are the perfect partner for interior shutters. Shutters improve your privacy, control lighting, won’t sway like blinds or curtains, and will probably 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 best fit your sliding glass doors.
Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Atlanta
The more common of the two sliding glass door shutter builds is the bypass configuration. For bypass shutters, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the 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 beyond the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Atlanta
As the name might tell you, a bifold configuration for sliding door shutters allow the shutters to fold. Rather than two large, solid frames that slide back and forth on a track, bifold shutters are separated into smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the view in front of your sliding glass door.
