A lot of homes have sliding glass doors. These doors lead to the exterior of your Austin area home, and they let in an abundance of natural light. Many homeowners want to be able to cover their sliding doors, due to flooding natural light and the lack of privacy such large “windows” provide. At Austin Window Fashions, we want to show you what plantation shutters for sliding glass doors can do for your home.

That’s why we believe plantation shutters for sliding glass doors are a great choice. They look beautiful. Interior shutters block the sun and light.

An Austin Home Gets an Upgrade
We have a great example of a home that was recently transformed. The homeowners had a number of issues with their slider. The location was in the living room–a spot reserved for relaxation. Of course, they wanted their living room to be beautiful and comfortable. That combination of benefits is perfectly provided by plantation shutters for sliding glass doors. Originally, they didn’t like the way the old slider looked–considered it ugly to look at. For most sliders, there’s nothing special about them in particular. What makes them special is the view outside, the light they bring in and the access to the patio area. We covered the slider in this Austin home with white wood painted shutters. The three panels of these door shutters offer a gorgeous backdrop for the living room when the homeowner wants privacy, light control and energy efficiency.
The wood shutters provide complete privacy when closed and blocked light control. When levels of lighting and view are desired, it’s easy to open and close the louvers. Most importantly, the door is simple and easy to use. Open the wood shutter panel, slide the slider over and step right out into your patio area.
At Austin Window Fashions, we are one of just a few places that make wood shutter panels that are wide enough to use to cover sliding doors. High quality craftsmanship and premium materials combine during our manufacturing process. Our plantation shutters for sliding glass doors are strong enough to be wider than 36 inches.
