Bypass Bifold Shutters For Baltimore Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding doors in Baltimore are best served by interior shutters. Shutters help maximize your privacy, maintain your view, don’t sway like blinds or drapes, and can even last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on sliding door shutters, the next choice to make is what shutter configuration would look best with the sliding glass doors in your space.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Baltimore
The more common of the two sliding door shutter builds is bypass shutters. In this setup, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above your sliding door. The panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for easy operation of the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can reach past the doorframe to let the shutter completely slide out from in front of the glass door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Glass Doors In Baltimore
As the name might tell you, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Rather than two big, solid shutter panels that slide side to side on a track, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are built with smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the view in front of your sliding door.
