Default Plantation shutters

Has anyone put plantation shutters on their slider? If not what have others covered them with.

I have seen other coverings. Drapes work well too. Lowes or HD can give you ideas.

We have vertical blinds that open the same way the sliders do, in our case from the center.

Yes we put shutters over our sliders when we put shutters on all our windows. Love them. They are split so you can open just the bottom or top or just some of them depending on the sun. They also work as an insulator.

I have plantation shutters on all of my windows, well worth the money.

There are two different kinds of plantation shutters for sliders. There is the fold away type and sliding type. Pretty sure on the sliding type the shutters have to be closed in order to slide it open

I have curtains and all I do is Pull back. Easy. I can pull only half if I want to. It’s Sunny morning on that side.

We have them on our sliders in an Courtyard Villa. Here when we purchased. Do not know who did them but call around.

Do not go with Home Depot for Blinds the company they use is the worst.

I love our plantation shutters on our slider. Works great and looks so elegant. We ordered from Joy’s Blinds and had them install.

Is this a local company?

I put them on my sliding glass doors and they make a dramatic focal point open or closed. They are easy to clean. Also, when closed they provide privacy. When open, lots of light. Mine are made by Norman shutters and blinds. Great quality for the money. $1300.00
