Bi-fold track shutters are constructed of hinged panels that fold up to save space, allowing you to open your sliding glass door fully. These shutters can be installed to open in the same direction or towards both sides of the door. If you’re looking for a full view, bi-fold track shutters are a good option as they fold to one side.
