Bypass Bifold Shutters For Cleveland Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in Cleveland are best served by interior shutters. Shutters help maximize your privacy, control lighting, won’t sway like blinds or panel tracks, and will probably last longer than the sliding door itself. If you’ve already decided on shutters for a sliding door, the only other thing to decide is what kind of shutters would work best for your sliding doors.
Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Cleveland
The more popular of the two sliding door shutter options is bypass shutters. For bypass shutters, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above a sliding glass door. The panels are offset so the panels slide over each other for easy operation of the door. Or if there’s some room next to your sliding door, the track can extend past the doorframe to allow the shutter panel to completely slide out from in front of the glass door.

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 side to side on a rail, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are separated into smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the view in front of your sliding door.
