Most people do not know that shutter companies have an option with plantation shutters for sliding glass doors. Lutz residents are more likely to hear about plantation shutters for their doors after the fact that they have gotten window shutters for the rooms of their home. The big difference between plantation shutters for window and plantation shutters for doors is the fact that door shutters have to be designed to be move able. Window shutters for windows are also able to move, but this is more apparent and pressing when it comes to plantation shutters for sliding glass doors. Two of the most popular configurations for sliding glass door shutters are options that either slide, or fold in different ways.
Bi-fold Plantation Shutters
Some plantation shutters for sliding glass doors open up by being folded down. Many people have already come into contact with objects of their home that utilize a bi-fold configuration even if they cannot say exactly what that is. When it comes to plantation shutters for sliding glass doors, Lutz residents should be aware that bi-fold configuration shutters open up similar to how some closets open up. The panels are hinged and fold onto one another in order to create space. This option is not only good for homeowners to walk through but this is also a great setup to allow in as much light as someone wants.
Plantation Shutters that Slide Open
Another option that is available with plantation shutters for sliding glass doors Lutz residents might be more interested in are plantation shutters that slide open. Instead of going around the glass like most window shutters, these plantation shutters are installed on the same track as a sliding glass door, and open and close in a similar manner. These are great options for homeowners that have a patio or pool deck that connects to the sliding glass door, as these are areas where people are going to be coming and going.
