Made to measure to perfectly fit patio and french doors
Our patio and french door shutters are all custom made to your measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
Full height shutters are recommended for doors. They come with a mid-rail so you can operate the top and bottom sets of slats independently. Unlike window shutters, they are usually designed with a 3-sided frame, meaning no bottom frame piece to step over.
If you need advice speak to our team, and they’ll recommend which size panel will suit, and where the frame should sit to clear any door handles (these can also be hidden with a carefully positioned mid-rail).
No matter what your space looks like, we can help design the right shutter blinds for your french or patio doors. Just send us a photo of your doors to get started!
Practical for everyday use
Shutters for patio doors and french doors are fuss-free and easy to use. The panels fold back neatly to the side, giving you an undisturbed view of the garden. When closed, they are a great way of keeping pets or young children in (you could even install your own latch at the top).
Added privacy, light control and security
Unlike your doors, your shutters don't have to be either open or closed. Moving the slats will give you the ability to control light and air flow into the room and can be adjusted throughout the day.
Shutters for french doors also provide privacy, meaning you can open your doors to catch that cool summer breeze in peace.
Installing shutters to your patio or french doors also provides an additional layer of security. This window dressing has more impact on deterring intruders than blinds or curtains.
Insulation and noise reduction
Shutter blinds for patio and French doors have the bonus of providing insulation, reducing energy bills and keeping the elements outside. They also help to reduce noise from outside – great if the kids are playing in the garden!

FAQs About Patio and French Door Shutters
What shutter materials can I get for my doors?
Patio and french door shutters are available in both our hardwood and faux wood shutter materials. Hardwood shutters are the most popular option because of their classic aesthetic.
However, if you have a patio or french door in the kitchen or any other space where moisture can build up, faux wood shutters offer a waterproof solution.
What colour options are available for these shutters?
Our Hardwood and Faux wood shutters come in a choice of four and two timeless shades respectively, to ensure our classic shutters suit any space.
But don't take our word for it! We offer a free sample service so you can be sure the shade will complement your room perfectly.
Are plantation shutters easy to maintain?
When compared with alternative window dressings such as blinds or curtains, shutters are much easier to maintain. Simply wipe away stains with a damp cloth!
Dusting is also a breeze too with window shutters. Again, simply dab with a light cloth or use a feather duster to keep your shutters looking like new.
