Tracked Shutter
Tracked shutters are a type of shutter system that operates on a track, allowing the panels to slide open and closed rather than being hinged. This system is often used for large windows, sliding doors, or areas where a traditional hinged shutter may not be practical. Tracked shutters are typically used in spaces where you need easy access, flexibility in opening, and a sleek, modern look.

Features of Tracked Shutters
- Sliding Mechanism: Panels glide along a top and/or bottom track, offering smooth, quiet operation.
- Space-Saving: Ideal for large windows or doors where space is limited and you need shutters that do not swing open.
- Wide Coverage: Can cover wide expanses, such as bi-fold doors or large windows, that would otherwise require multiple smaller panels.
- Versatility: Suitable for both interior and exterior applications (e.g., patio doors, room dividers).
- Customizable Options: Available in a variety of materials, including wood, composite, and vinyl, and can be tailored to suit your desired aesthetic.
Benefits of Tracked Shutters
- Maximized Light Control: The ability to slide panels open or closed provides excellent control over light, making it easy to adjust the amount of sunlight entering a room.
- Privacy: Offers the option of fully or partially closing panels for privacy, without sacrificing the modern look.
- Durability: Typically made from high-quality materials like wood, MDF, or composite, ensuring long-lasting performance.

MEASURING AND INSTALLING INFO
Styling Tracked Shutters
- Minimalist Modern: Choose a sleek, simple design in neutral colors like white, black, or grey for a contemporary feel.
- Traditional Wood: For a more traditional or rustic look, opt for wood panel shutters with a visible grain.
- Room Dividers: Tracked shutters can be used as room dividers in open-plan spaces to create a sense of privacy without losing natural light.
Tips for Success
- Professional Installation: If you’re installing tracked shutters on large sliding doors or expansive windows, consider professional installation to ensure smooth operation and proper fitting.
- Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean the tracks regularly to avoid dust build-up that could impair the sliding mechanism. Lubricate the tracks if necessary to keep them gliding smoothly.
- Ensure Proper Weight Distribution: For larger, heavier panels, ensure that the track system is rated to support the weight to prevent sagging or instability.
