Patio Door Shutters Preston & Grimsargh

Shutters for patio doors offer something a blind doesn’t — a substantial, permanent finish that becomes part of the room rather than a dressing over a door. When the shutters are open, the door looks considered and finished. When they’re closed, the room is private, the view from outside is clean and the overall impression is of a room that’s been properly thought through.

For wider patio door openings, tracked shutters are usually the most practical configuration. The panels slide along a ceiling or floor track rather than folding outward, which means the full width of the door can be covered without needing clearance on either side for open panels. For narrower patio door configurations, hinged panels may be suitable where there’s sufficient room on each side to fold back against.

John will look at your specific patio doors at the consultation — the width, the opening direction, the available side clearance and the construction of the door frame all affect what’s possible. Patio door shutters involve more detailed planning than a standard window shutter installation, and John will work through the configuration in full before anything is measured or quoted.
