Above, please kindly enjoy some pictures from a recent project completed in Chandler Arizona. This particular home had just received new windows which were approximately 70" wide with 17 1/2" glass sliders on each end which each slid toward the center when opened. Even though we could have provided 2ea 35" panels, we decided that 4ea 17 1/2" panels that were 2ea bi-fold left and 2ea bi-fold right would be more functional.
Here were the design considerations.
The two left two right bi-fold option would allow easier total openness as the panels would neatly lay back against the wall creating an open effect to the backyard pool area. This was a great decision as it allowed for viewing backyard pool parties from inside the house without obstruction. Additionally, this window configuration matched the shutter panel configuration such that air flow and light control was maximized. Great for afternoon television viewing. Finally, the double panel look created a cottage feel which matched the rest of the decor nicely.
Overall, a fun project with a very happy result.
Of course, we would love to help you with your plantation shutter project. Also, check out our online shutter cost calculator for a rough idea of what new shutters might cost.
