Can You Have Interior Shutters on a French Door?

We often get this question from customers shopping for French door window treatments because many believe interior shutters are exclusively for windows. The answer is simple: if you love shutters, you can have them on any size or shape window as well as French Doors. In fact, there are many reasons why you should. Let’s dive into the details of French door interior shutters.

Create a Polished Appearance with French Door Plantation Shutters

Interior shutters are an attention-grabbing solution for French doors. They have classic good looks that bring next-level style to a room and coordinate seamlessly with shutters on windows in the space. Two-and-a-half-inch wide louvers look fantastic in traditional interiors, while the broad four-and-a-half-inch width is ideal for contemporary aesthetics and offers the best view of the outdoors.

Embrace a Tranquil Atmosphere with French Door Interior Shutters

Unlike horizontal blinds, plantation shutters are attached to the door frame for a secure fit and reduced light gaps. The flush installation with the door eliminates side gaps that allow unwanted light into the room and compromise privacy. The louvers tilt up and down to give you flexible light control.

Plantation Shutters Are Energy Efficient

The louvers close tightly together, preventing warm or cool air from passing through the French doors and into your home. Doors and windows are responsible for a significant portion of your energy usage, so maintaining your home’s temperature without turning up the thermostat is good for the environment and your budget.

French Door Shutters Are Customizable

Different materials are suitable for varying locations in your home. If your French doors separate interior spaces, Heritance® Wood Shutters are a warm, welcoming choice. Natural hardwood is durable but isn’t the best option for frequent exposure to humidity, condensation, and UV light, so they’re not always ideal for French doors that connect to the outdoors. NewStyle® Composite Shutters and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are moisture-resistant and can handle more exposure to the elements than wood.

Whatever your interior design style, all our shutter options are completely customizable. Sleek black shutters, classic white, or any color in between are possible with Hunter Douglas shutters at Rachel Brosky Interiors.

Interior Shutters Are User-Friendly

Interior shutters offer accessible, straightforward operation. Choose from various tilt bar options, including the classic front style, modern rear tilt bars, or no tilt bar. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl shutters are even compatible with PowerView® Automation so that you can adjust the louvers from anywhere in your home with the PowerView® App and remote.
