Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Gainesville
The more prevalent of the two sliding glass door shutter options is the bypass configuration. In this setup, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above a sliding glass door. The shutters 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 beyond the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Gainesville
As the name might tell you, bifold shutters for sliding glass doors are ones that fold. Instead of two large, solid frames that slide side to side on a rail, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are separated into smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the view in front of your sliding glass door.
