Why choose sliding plantation shutters?
Choose bi-fold shutters that fold and stack to one side, or by-pass shutters whose panels slide behind one another. The best choice depends on the width of the opening, furniture placement, door handles and how often you need full access.
The fitted panels can also divide an open-plan room or screen a wardrobe, creating flexible zones without a permanent wall.

During your free survey, we will check floor levels, door handles, skirting, furniture and the available stacking space. This allows us to recommend a sliding or bi-fold shutter layout that looks balanced and remains easy to use.

Our experienced fitters install the track, align the panels and check every louvre and moving section before the job is complete. The result is a durable, fitted finish for patio doors, bi-fold doors, wide windows or room dividers.
What our customers say
FAQs for sliding shutters
Can you put shutters on sliding glass and patio doors?
Yes. Sliding shutters are designed for wide glazed openings and can run on a track in front of sliding glass or patio doors. The layout is planned so you can move the shutter panels when access is required.
What is the difference between bi-fold and by-pass shutters?
Bi-fold panels hinge together and fold into a stack. By-pass panels remain flat and slide behind one another. The available space, door operation and preferred appearance determine which system is more suitable.
Do sliding shutters block door handles?
They should not when correctly surveyed. We check handle projection and opening clearances, then position the frame and track to allow comfortable operation.
Can plantation shutters help reduce heat loss at patio doors?
A fitted shutter creates an additional layer between the room and the glass, which can help reduce draughts and heat transfer. Performance varies with the glazing, frame and shutter material.
Do sliding shutters need a bottom track?
Most systems use a slim bottom guide or track to keep larger panels stable. We will explain the track position and threshold detail during your survey.
Can sliding shutters divide a room?
Yes. Track-mounted panels can provide a flexible screen between open-plan areas, a home office or a wardrobe, while allowing the space to be opened again when needed.
How much do sliding shutters cost?
Cost depends on the opening size, number of panels, track system, material and finish. We provide a free survey and written quotation based on your exact space.
