Bypass Shutters For Sliding In Honolulu
The more common of the two sliding 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 there’s some room next to your sliding door, the track can extend past the doorframe to allow the shutter panel to completely slide away from the door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Honolulu
As the name suggests, a bifold configuration for sliding door shutters allow the shutters to fold. Rather than two big, solid panels that slide on a track, bifold shutters are built with smaller panels that fold inward, clearing the path in front of your door.
