Tracked shutters run on a ceiling or floor-mounted track, allowing the panels to slide across rather than folding back against a wall or window frame. This makes them the practical solution for wide openings — patio doors, large picture windows and any opening where hinged panels would require side clearance that simply isn’t available.
The track system means tracked shutters can cover spans that would be impractical or impossible with standard hinged panels. The shutters slide smoothly along the track and stack neatly to one side when the opening is in use, giving unobstructed access to the full doorway or window. They give the same clean, substantial look as standard plantation shutters while working across a much wider range of openings.
Tracked shutters require careful planning — the track layout, panel configuration and the way the shutters stack when open all need to be worked out before manufacture. John will look at the specific opening at the consultation, plan the track configuration in detail and confirm what’s possible before anything is measured or quoted.
Patio doors, large windows and wide glazed areas
No side clearance needed for the open panels
Panels glide along the track with minimal effort
Same substantial look as standard plantation shutters
Full access to the opening when the shutters are open

Tracked shutters are one of the best options for patio doors because they don’t require any clearance on the sides for folding panels. They slide across and stack neatly, leaving the full opening clear. John will look at your specific patio doors at the consultation and confirm whether tracked shutters or another configuration is the most suitable option.
Tracked shutters slide along a ceiling or floor track. The panels glide smoothly and stack at one or both sides of the opening depending on the configuration. John will plan the exact track layout and stacking position at the consultation.
Standard plantation shutters are hinged and fold back against the wall or window frame when open. Tracked shutters run on a track and slide across — this is what makes them suitable for wide openings where folding panels would either need too much clearance or wouldn’t cover the full span properly.
Tracked shutters are manufactured bespoke and the lead time is 12 weeks or more from consultation. Nicky will confirm the current lead time when you get in touch.
