Ideal Shutters for Bifold, Pocket and Sliding Doors

Specialty doors such as bifolds, pocket, and sliding doors require window treatments that complement their unique mechanisms. Here are nine shutter options ideally suited for these door styles:

1. Accordion Fold Shutters – These shutters elegantly collapse and stack out of the way, integrating seamlessly with bifold door folds.

2. Multiple Shutter Panels – Individual rectangular panels can be joined together to cover the extra-wide expanses of sliding doors.

3. Lateral Arm Shutters – Shutters with side arms slide along a track parallel to pocket doors.

4. Sliding Panel Shutters – These shutters glide smoothly along an overhead track and tuck aside, similar to sliding doors.

5. Flexible Fabric Shutters – Lightweight shutters made of billowy fabric can accommodate the movement of folding and sliding doors.

6. Split Shutters – Bifold-style hinged shutters divided into two halves can be attached to each door section.

7. Custom Shutters – For specialty shapes and sizes, customized shutters can be tailored precisely to fit the door.

8. Cafe-Style Shutters – Floor-to-ceiling hinged shutters can be mounted directly to the surrounding walls or ceiling.

9. Roller Shades – Housed in casings above or beside the door, these shades can roll up and down out of the way.

With the right shutter match for your specialty door’s style and operation, you can easily add shutters to make a dramatic statement.
