Can you fit shutters to bi-fold doors?

Yes. We fit bespoke bi-fold door shutters on a track system so the shutter panels fold and slide neatly back, letting you open your bi-fold doors fully. When closed they give full light and privacy control across the whole opening.

What are tracked shutters?

Tracked shutters (also called bi-fold shutters) hang from a track rather than a fixed frame. This lets the panels concertina back to one or both sides, making them ideal for very wide openings such as bi-fold doors, patio doors, French doors and room dividers.

Will the shutters get in the way of the bi-fold doors?

No. The panels fold back compactly against the reveal so you keep full access to your doors and the view outside. You can also close a single panel for shade or privacy without moving the rest.

What is the difference between tracked (bi-fold) shutters and bypass shutters?

Both hang from a track. Bi-fold (tracked) shutters are hinged together so they concertina and fold back as a stack, mirroring how bi-fold doors work. Bypass shutters slide past each other on parallel tracks, like a wardrobe door, so one panel always sits in front of another. Bi-fold suits bi-fold and French doors; bypass suits sliding patio doors and room dividers.

Can I have tracked shutters with underfloor heating?

Yes. We can hang the panels from a single track fitted above the opening, with no bottom track along the floor. Nothing is cut into or fixed to the floor, so your underfloor heating is completely unaffected.

Bi-Fold Door Shutters

Bi-fold doors deserve a window dressing that can keep up with them. Our bespoke bi-fold door plantation shutters are built on a track system, so the panels fold and slide neatly back with your doors, then close to give you full light and privacy control across the entire opening.

If you've been searching for shutters for bifold doors that don't get in the way when the doors are open, this is the answer: shutters that move with the doors rather than fighting them.

Shutters That Fold Back With Your Doors

Because the panels hang from a track rather than a fixed frame, they concertina back compactly to one or both sides. Throw your bi-fold doors open onto the garden and the shutters simply fold away with them, with no bulky curtains or blinds getting in the way.

Perfect for Patio & French Doors Too

The same tracked system makes for excellent bifold patio door shutters, and it works just as well on French doors, sliding doors and wide picture windows. Anywhere you have a large opening or want to divide a room, bi-fold shutters give a clean, made-to-measure finish that a single fixed panel simply can't.

Full Light & Privacy Control

Large shutters make a striking feature and, when closed, transform how a room feels. Tilt the louvres to soften the light and add privacy, or close a single panel for shade in the afternoon sun while keeping the rest of the view open.

Flexible Configurations

Our bi-fold track shutter system can be arranged to suit your space: folding all to one side, splitting to both, or bypassing on multiple tracks for the very widest openings. We'll design the configuration around how you actually use the room so they always look their best.

Got underfloor heating? No problem. The panels can hang from a single track fitted above the opening, with no bottom track running along the floor. There's nothing to cut into or fix to the floor, so your underfloor heating carries on working exactly as it should.
