Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Houston
The more popular of the two sliding door shutter layouts is the bypass configuration. For bypass shutters, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above your sliding door. The shutter panels are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for easy operation of the door. Or if there’s some room next to your sliding door, the track can reach past the doorframe to allow the shutter panel to completely slide to the side.

How Do We Design Sliding Shutters?
We begin by measuring the dimensions of each section of your glass door. Next, we mark whether there’s room on either side of the doors. This allows us to figure out if a bypass or a bifold configuration is best. Then, we head back to our office and order the hand-built plantation shutters to use on your doors. Using a combination of advanced technology and customized design templates based on the dimensions of your door, we design and construct your sliding glass door shutters with the finishes and colors you choose.
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 an open view and simplifies cleaning your shutters.
