Most people know that plantation shutters are the window shutters that many people have made popular over the years, and now it seems every home renovation involves them. But one thing that people might not be aware of is that it is possible to get plantation shutters for sliding glass doors. Tampa residents might have never seen a plantation shutter on any door, but this is actually a design that can be achieved if the homeowner desires it. Not only are they functional, but they are just as elegant and plantation shutters that someone would get for the windows of their home.
Plantation Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Most people who are asked about plantation shutter configurations only know about bi-fold configurations because these are the most common on plantation shutters for windows. While bi-fold configurations can be made on plantation shutters for sliding glass doors, Tampa residents might also be interested in knowing of the other configurations that can be achieved with more space. For a sliding glass door, it is even possible to get them in a tri-fold configuration, or an accordion style. But more often than not, the most common configuration for plantation shutters on sliding glass doors is called a bypass configuration, that slides along the track of the door itself.
Plantation Shutters for Front Doors
One of the most uncommon ways to apply plantation shutters into a home is to put them on your front door. Unlike the plantation shutter for sliding glass doors, Tampa residents need to be aware that there are not as many configurations to choose from to make them customizable. Often times the plantation shutters for front doors will not even open with the class bi-fold configuration, and simply open on a hinge like the door itself.
