Sophisticated Sliding Door Shutters for Texas Homes
The Hunter Douglas Bi-Fold Track system has hinged-together panels connected to a top track. That track supports the panels and guides their folding movement. Once installed, you can fully open these shutters and enjoy the expansive outdoor views. This system is ideal for sliding glass doors and oversized windows.
Hunter Douglas also offers a Bypass Open Louver system for their shutters. This option allows the louvers to stay open while sliding or stacking to maximize your views.

For Sliding Glass Doors, Consider Shutters
Generic blinds, shades, and shutters aren't ideal for sliding glass doors. They won't fit well, leave light gaps, and move around when you open and close them. Opting for custom window treatments means a precise fit, plus higher quality, countless fabric and material selections, and modern operating systems.
Hunter Douglas manufactures three styles of sliding plantation shutters for sliding glass doors:
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters work beautifully in spaces that retain heat and humidity, like bathrooms or kitchens. They're water-resistant and made with Polysatin™ material, aluminum bracing, and resin blocks.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters use 100% hardwood poplar or basswood. They feature Truemill® dovetail construction and a Finetech® finish that resembles finely painted wood.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters combine the look of wood with the durability of a vinyl shutter. They also have Truemill® dovetail construction and a stunning finish.
Interior plantation shutters are permanent fixtures, with exceptional craftsmanship and detailing. Hunter Douglas offers these styles with 2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½" louvers and different colors. We customize them for traditional window shapes, specialty sizes like arches, and sliding glass doors.

The Benefits of Custom Sliding Door Shutters
Sliding door shutters offer considerable benefits for Texas homeowners. The sturdy frame construction and reinforced hinges handle frequent use without loosening or breaking. And they create a real sense of permanency, whether you opt for traditional, elegant hardwood, composite, or vinyl.
The adjustable louvers offer precise control over light direction and intensity throughout the day, to gently filter morning sunlight and block strong afternoon brightness. When closed, the louvers protect your privacy and darken the room.
There's also this: Custom sliding door shutters enhance architectural features rather than overwhelming them. The clean lines complement classic and contemporary decor schemes, with different color coordination opportunities: White shutters create contrast against dark walls, while natural wood stains highlight existing trim work.
Keep This in Mind When Ordering Sliding Door Shutters
Bi-fold track systems need adequate clearance above the opening, and the panels need enough space to stack when opened. When we measure your doors for the shutters, we can advise you about furniture placement.
We'll also help you select the appropriate louver size. Wider ones provide better views when open but offer fewer privacy adjustment options. Narrow louvers create more traditional styling and greater light control flexibility.
