Shutters for

style and security – built right here in Austin, Tx

Bifold shutters fold back to open, making them ideal for larger windows or doors, as well as when you want to allow more light into a room. Bifold shutters fold in on themselves to create a compact and elegant solution that maximizes space. 

At Southern Shutters,  we specialize in all types of custom shutters, including luxury quality, wooden folding shutters. With a nearly unlimited selection of styles, including louver sizes, trim, paint and stain color, hidden tilt, hinge options and more, we will design the perfect interior, folding shutters for both practicality and elegance. 

Our shutters are made from premium, solid basswood, which has a beautiful fine grain, making it perfect for both paint and stain. Basswood is also lightweight, leading to a lifetime of beauty and elegance as it doesn’t bend or warp - even in higher moisture environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Over the past 30 plus years, we have installed shutters in more than 30,000 homes, including bi-fold, tri-fold, folding cafe shutters and others for our customers throughout the greater Austin area, including Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park, Westlake Hills, Round Rock, South Austin, Rollingwood and more.

timeless elegance

Our folding shutters fold back smoothly and efficiently, allowing you to adjust the folding mechanism of shutters as per your convenience. This feature makes it easy to control the amount of light and air entering your home, and it also maximizes space and creates an elegant look.

Shutters typically fold back using hinges that are attached to the panels of the shutter. The hinges allow the panels to swing inward or outward, depending on the direction in which they are installed.

When the shutters are fully closed, the panels sit flush against each other and the frame. To fold the shutters back, you'll need to open the panels one by one. To do this, simply release the lock on the panel and swing it inward or outward on its hinge.

As each panel is opened, it will stack neatly against the adjacent panel. The shutters are designed to fold back in a smooth and efficient manner, so you can easily adjust them as needed.

Types of Folding Shutters

The type of folding shutter that is best for your needs will depend on your specific requirements, such as the size of the opening, the level of security you need, and the aesthetic style you want to achieve. Whether you are going for a sleek, modern look, traditional, country chic, craftsman or any other style decor, we will custom design and install elegant folding shutters for your home. 

There are several types of folding shutters, including:

Hinged Folding Shutters: These shutters are made up of hinged panels that fold inwards or outwards. They are popular for use on windows, doors, and storefronts.

Sliding Folding Shutters: These shutters are made up of sliding panels that stack to one side when opened. They are often used for large openings like patios, balconies, or restaurants.

Bi-Fold Shutters: These shutters are made up of two panels that fold in half, creating a hinged "book" that can be opened or closed. They are often used on windows and doors.
