Interior plantation shutters are durable window coverings that also work beautifully on door windows, French doors, and sliding glass doors. At A Shade Above, we show our clients how customization makes a spectacular result when choosing the perfect interior shutter for their home. The quality evident in our entire process, from material selection and craftsmanship to installation. Fitting plantation shutters on doors is an art worth the investment and effort, and we’re here to share some ways you can enjoy our made in North Carolina shutters in your home.
What are Plantation Shutters?
This style of interior shutters feature adjustable louvers that you tilt to control airflow, light, and privacy. The entire shutter unit is attached to your window or door frame. We make plantation shutters from solid wood or poly materials; both are durable and low-maintenance. The thick, sturdy material also provides insulation, helping regulate indoor temperatures and saving you money on energy bills.
How We Custom Fit Door Shutters
Doors come in countless shapes and sizes, each with unique hardware and movement needs. We create custom plantation shutters that fit perfectly on doors, no matter the specifications—this is our specialty. The journey begins with a detailed measurement of your doors. Unlike windows, doors have handles and different locks and hinges. We can customize your shutters to fit around hardware with closure styles customized to suit your doors.
Hardware Considerations
One of the challenges of installing plantation shutters on doors is accommodating hardware. For instance, door handles or locks may protrude, requiring careful cutouts in the shutters. Our skilled craftsmen create precise cutouts, so the shutters fit snugly around hardware without compromising the overall appearance. This attention to detail ensures that the door shutters look great and function as expected.
Multiple Closure Options
Another important aspect of fitting plantation shutters on doors is selecting the right closure style. Since doors are frequently opened and closed, the shutters must encourage easy movement. We offer different closure options, so you won’t need to worry about that.
Bifold Style
This design divides the shutters into panels that fold back onto themselves. That way, the door opens fully while the shutters stack to the side. Bifold shutters work well on patio doors or other spaces where you need full access. This style provides a clean, unobstructed view when open; when closed, they offer complete privacy and light control.
Bypass Track Style
With the bypass track style, the shutters slide past each other on a track system. It’s a good solution for sliding glass doors since it mirrors the door’s movement. Bypass shutters let you open one side of the door while the other stays covered.
The Finishing Touch for Fitting Plantation Shutters on Doors
After your new plantation shutters have been custom-fitted and installed, we ensure they are perfectly aligned and work smoothly. Our team carefully inspects each shutter and won’t leave until it opens and closes effortlessly, and the louvers tilt easily. This attention to detail is what sets us apart.
