Sliding Shutter Styles

Sliding panel shutters are a great way to cover large sliding doors, wardrobe openings or dividing spaces between rooms. They can be fitted inside the window/door reveal or face fitted onto the frame or wall.

Thermalite shutters are securely attached from a top fixing and assisted by a bottom track, making for a strong and secure operation. 

All tracking at the top is concealed behind a fascia board.
