Bifold Bypass Shutters For Washington DC Sliding Glass Doors
Indoor shutters are fantastic for sliding doors in Washington DC. Shutters protect your privacy, control lighting, don’t sway like blinds or drapes, and will probably last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on sliding door shutters, the only other choice to make is what shutter configuration would best fit your sliding glass doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Washington DC
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 a sliding glass door. The shutter panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if there’s some room next to your sliding door, the track can extend beyond the doorframe to let the shutter completely slide out from in front of the glass door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Washington DC
As the name implies, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Instead of two big, solid frames that slide on a rail, bifold shutters are built with smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the way in front of your door.
