Why Tracked Shutters Are the Perfect Solution for Patio Doors, Bifolds & Open-Plan Living

/

When it comes to covering wide openings like patio doors, sliding doors, and bifolds, traditional window coverings often fall short — either they don’t fit properly, restrict access, or simply don’t look the part. At The ShutterShack, we specialise in elegant, functional solutions, and tracked shutters are one of the most versatile and stylish options we offer.

Whether you’re looking to enhance privacy, manage light, or define open-plan spaces, tracked shutters deliver beautifully on all fronts. Here’s why they’re such a great choice for modern homes:

Designed for Large Openings

Modern homes often feature expansive glass areas — such as bifolding doors, large patio doors, or wide sliding units — to let in natural light and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow. But covering these spaces can be tricky.

Tracked shutters are specifically crafted to span wider widths with ease. Using a smooth track system, the panels glide effortlessly, distributing the weight evenly and making operation simple, even for larger setups. This makes them ideal not just for light control, but also for maintaining easy access through your doors.

Style Meets Functionality

With options for bi-fold, by-pass, or floating track systems, tracked shutters can be tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.

  • Bi-Fold Track: Panels fold concertina-style to one or both sides. A great option when you want to open the space completely.

  • By-Pass Track: Panels slide past one another on separate tracks — perfect where folding isn't feasible due to furniture placement or space constraints.

  • Floating Track: Offers flexible stacking configurations, allowing you to move and stack panels as needed for full control over light and privacy.

This range of configuration options means tracked shutters can adapt to the needs of any home, whether you're looking for access, airflow, or privacy — or all three.

Room Divider Functionality

Tracked shutters don’t just belong on windows and doors — they’re also an incredibly smart way to divide open-plan living spaces. Whether you want to create a dedicated workspace, add privacy to a dining area, or close off a playroom, tracked shutters offer a flexible, stylish solution.

And when you want to open up the space again? Just slide the panels back and enjoy a fully open-plan layout once more.

Durable, Elegant, and Custom-Fit

Our tracked shutters are crafted from high-quality hardwood — strong, durable, and surprisingly lightweight. They come with a sleek, sophisticated finish and are available in a range of colours and custom options, ensuring they blend seamlessly into your home’s design.

At The ShutterShack, all our tracked shutters come with a 10-year hardwood manufacturer’s guarantee and a lifetime workmanship warranty, so you can enjoy peace of mind alongside premium style.

Tailored to You

We know every home is different. That’s why we offer free home surveys, where we take precise measurements and talk through your needs to create a truly tailored shutter solution.
