Bi-Fold Shutters: Bi-fold shutters fold in the middle and stack on either side of the door, similar to bi-fold closet doors. They are a good choice for sliding doors that are not very wide. Double-Hinged Shutters: Double-hinged shutters are hinged on both sides and can be opened from the center, similar to French doors.

Shutters for sliding glass doors consist of adjustable louvers or panels. The louvers are horizontal slats that can be tilted to control the amount of light and privacy. The panels are solid sections that can be moved to open or close the shutters fully. There are a few different types of sliding glass door shutters available.
