Shutters protect your privacy, control lighting, don’t sway like vertical blinds or drapes, and will probably outlast than the sliding door itself.

The Sacramento
plantation shutter [[pros|experts]32] at Sunburst offer two sliding door builds: bypass and bifold. Here we’ll compare the two, and settle on which one is right for your home.
Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In Sacramento
The more popular of the two sliding glass door shutter layouts is bypass shutters. For bypass shutters, two or more shutter panels slide on a track mounted above your sliding door. The shutters are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for easy operation of the door. Or if the sliding door has room to the side, the track can extend past the door to allow the shutter panel to completely slide out from in front of the glass door.
Remember that with a typical bypass sliding door shutter, you’ll have a panel over one side of your sliding glass door all the time. Bypass shutters for sliding doors are also much more resilient than bifold shutters, because there are fewer articulation points that can get damaged or break.
When to choose bypass sliding door shutters in Sacramento: When you don’t have a huge amount of space in front of the door, or want a low maintenance but durable shutter on your sliding glass door.
Bi-fold Shutters For Sliding Doors In Sacramento

When to put in bifold shutters When you want to stack panels to one side of the door and you have enough space beside the door for the shutters to fold.
