Bifold Bypass Shutters For Detroit Sliding Glass Doors
Indoor shutters are great for sliding doors in Detroit. Shutters help maximize your privacy, maintain your view, won’t sway like vertical blinds or drapes, and can even last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on shutters for a sliding door, the next thing to decide is what kind of shutters would work best for your sliding doors.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Detroit
The more prevalent of the two sliding glass door shutter builds is the bypass configuration. For bypass shutters, two shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can reach past the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide out from in front of the glass door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Glass Doors In Detroit
As the name suggests, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Instead of two big, solid frames that slide on a track, bifold shutters are built with smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the way in front of your sliding door.

How Do We Design Sliding Shutters?
The first thing we do is measure the dimensions of each section of your glass door. Then we record whether there’s room on either side of the doors. This helps us figure out whether a bypass or bifold configuration should be used. Next, we head back to our office and order the hand-crafted plantation shutters to fit those configurations. Using a combination of advanced software and design templates based on your door’s measurements, we design and construct the sliding glass door shutters with the colors and finishes of your choosing.
Our professional installers install the sliding shutters on your sliding glass doors, ensuring the louvers can be tilted and that the panels are movable. This gives you a wonderful view and simplifies cleaning your shutters.
