Sliding shutters

sliding shutter panels

Sliding shutter panels are an elegant and functional window treatment option that combines the classic look of shutters with the convenience of sliding mechanisms. Many products offer features that enhance their performance and make them more tangible in the open market. Shutters are traditionally swung opened or closed, but in some cases, space will not allow, making them impractical for the average homeowner. With the innovation of sliding panel systems, all types of shutters can be used to treat window openings regardless of the available space in front of the window. Track systems are configured to stack on either end, in the center, or on both sides of the window opening making them ideal for closets, patio doors, room dividers, and large spans of glass where floor space is restricted As shutters can be made using a variety of materials, each has its own benefit as it relates to climate and application. PVC & Fauxwood shutters are recommended for areas with high exposure to sunlight and / or high humidity. Wood shutters are particularly best suited for shaded windows and offer the broadest range of finishes considering that they can be custom stained or painted in almost any finish & color. No matter the available space or application, consider sliding panel systems as the solution to any window covering challenge.
