Bypass Shutters For Glass Doors In St. George
The more prevalent of the two sliding glass door shutter options is bypass shutters. For bypass shutters, multiple shutter panels slide on a track mounted above the door. The shutters are offset so one-panel slides in front of the other for access to the door. Or if you have room to the side of your sliding door, the track can extend beyond the doorframe to let the shutter completely slide out from in front of the glass door.

As the name implies, a bifold configuration for sliding door shutters allow the shutters to fold. Rather than two big, solid shutter panels that slide on a track, sliding door shutters in a bifold build are built with smaller panels that fold into each other, clearing the view in front of your sliding door.
