Introduction
“Can we install shutters onto doors?” is a frequent question from our clients. Certainly, we can! Plantation shutters may be installed on doors in a clean, fashionable style. They can be made into wide, long panels or into bi-folds that fold back out of the way.
We can accommodate wooden floors and carpet by cutting around skirting and window boards. So that there are no trip dangers when passing through the doorway, we may also employ a three-sided frame design.

For sliding glass doors, consider plantation shutters
Other than windows, interiors might have shutters. Sliding glass doors are a fantastic alternative and offer a striking appearance. The sliding panels of your plantation shutters for sliding doors are made possible by the bypass track. Whether your sliding door stacks to the left, right, or opens from the center, we can design your custom window shutters to fit.
What is a Bi-Fold Track System?
The Bi-Fold Track System, an option with many of our shutter products, enables the hinged assembly of up to six panels. A top track that supports and directs the folding of the panels is linked to the panels.
Your plantation shutters may move and fold open thanks to bi-fold track systems.

Using plantation shutters to divide rooms
An open floor plan is a great way to give your house a light, comfortable feel, but occasionally, big areas may make you long for their functionality.
At this point, room-dividing shutters are really helpful.
Shutters for room dividers combine the best of both worlds. You may make use of all the space your room has to offer with the shutters fully closed or partially open, but as the day changes, so does your room.
Interior shutters will easily slip into place and provide you with the peace and solitude you want, whether you need a quiet area to work, change, cook, or simply put your feet up.
If you wish to divide a space into two without adding a new wall, interior dividing shutters can work effectively.
Large bathrooms may thus have a separate shower, bath, and toilet areas, or a dining area can double as a home office during the day while remaining functional for family gatherings at night.
You have an almost limitless number of alternatives since shutters may add a variety of flexible space options without compromising your open-plan feeling.

Plantation shutters inside are ideal for family living
Some people who live near strong street lights have a greater need for blackout blinds and shutters since the light leak from the street is simply too intense even with a good window covering. This is becoming more of an issue as the adoption of very bright LED street lighting becomes more widespread.
Most popular door shutter designs
Full height shutters - These completely enclose your entrance and may be built with a three-sided frame, so there's nothing for you to walk over at the bottom. Full height shutters may also include a mid-rail to conceal handles and louvers that may be adjusted to manage the amount of light that enters your rooms. Our Mimeo Composite Shutter is the perfect choice for this style!
Raised half-solid shutters - This style has a top louvered part and a solid elevated bottom piece. With the extra benefit that the solid bottom half can be quickly cleaned when dirt enters from the outside, this may also be created within a three-sided frame. For those seeking interior shutters with a more classic, maybe farmhouse vibe, half solid raised is a popular option.

Improve the appearance of your doors
Shutters for patio doors fully modify your space and offer more than simply a means to control light and privacy. Plantation shutters for French doors can smarten up and add beauty to your area, whether you want to complement your patio doors or put the finishing touch to a new addition. They also look fantastic on neighboring windows for a uniform appearance.
Designing French door shutters
To ensure a flawless fit, all of our patio door shutters are created to order using your dimensions. The ideal option for French doors is full-height shutters, which include a mid-rail so you may separately control the top and bottom sets of slats. They often have a 3-sided frame, unlike window shutters, so there is no bottom frame piece to step over. Ask our staff for guidance on the best panel size and where the frame should be placed to avoid blocking any door knobs (these can also be hidden with a carefully positioned mid-rail).
No matter how your room is laid up, we can assist in creating the ideal shutters for your requirements.

French doors featuring privacy and light control
French doors have an unmistakable allure because they allow natural light to fill your house, bringing vitality and an open, breezy, and fresh feeling to your space.
The issue is that not everyone wants their house to be always exposed to sunshine and passersby's eyes.
With this in mind, a window dressing is necessary since having some degree of solitude is necessary to unwind, sit back, and unwind.
One alternative is to use curtains or fabric blinds, but while they successfully block out the outside world, they aren't particularly flexible, making it difficult to close them just enough to block the sun's glare.
The best of both worlds may be had with new shutters.
Without entirely blocking the light, you may rapidly adjust the louvers to lessen the brightness in your room.
Of course, you can do the same thing to achieve the ideal degree of seclusion as well. Simply angle the slats until you have the ideal ratio of light and shade from the outside.

Shutters for French doors that withstand water
Although real wooden shutter panels have a lovely appearance, they may not always be the ideal choice in spaces where there may be moisture in the air.
Therefore, our Mimeo Composite Shutters collection is the ideal choice if you're contemplating French door shutters in a kitchen or other potentially damp environment.
Our water-resistant Mimeo shutters are made of plywood, but because of our meticulous attention to detail, they resemble hardwood shutters almost exactly.
The outcome? Beautiful French door shutters that can withstand use in a bustling kitchen, a steamy bathroom, or even beside a hot tub or pool.

Patio doors with shutters
Patio door shutters are hassle-free and simple to operate. You can watch the garden without being disturbed because the panels fold back neatly to the side. They make excellent gates for small children or pets when closed (you could even install your latch at the top).
The shutters are extremely easy to maintain; all that is required is a moist towel to wipe them off.

Narrow panels work best as they fold onto each other and sit on the side. We also advise that you give thought to how often you’ll open the panels. If you end up leaving the panels closed most of the time – we suggest you consider full-height shutters which will reduce the amount of solid wood you have on the window.
