Technically, there are more, but we will not get into the various combination at this time. The first is full height, one tier, shutters with no division.

One of the most common terms we hear is “bifold shutters”. Most often, but not always people are describing a four panel shutter unit.

There are also two panels with the same configuration that open to the right side of the window.
