Shutters are a great option for sliding glass doors

Shutters are one of the best choices for both sliding glass and french doors. This picture of a home in Boxford, MA is of sliding or bi-pass shutters that are mounted with a cantilevered header and no side frame pieces. The header included a groove for the homeowner to use as a plate shelf for decorative items, and was finished with a beautiful crown molding. These doors are actually french doors rather than sliders. The homeowner wanted to maintain the full glass view and so chose this option rather than french door shutters that are permanently mounted on the doors.

Shutters work beautifully on French Doors

Shutters are an ideal choice when determining how to cover french doors. The shutter is firmly attached to the door by a frame that accomodates the movement of the louvers. The frame should have a curved cutout to accomodate the lever handle found on most french doors.
