Farewell Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In !

Your entry door is one of the first things a guest notices about your Dover house as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides add to the elegance of the front door. But, they take away from your privacy. This is where window coverings are the ideal solution for the sidelights on your entry door.

 

A number of Dover homeowners chose classic window treatments for sidelights, including shades and blinds. But they may not have realized there’s a more modern alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Shades and blinds may be the window treatments that come to mind as options for sidelights. They’re available in home improvement stores in sizes that approximately fit your entry door sidelights. And you already know how to set them up and use them.

 

But shades and blinds for sidelights include a handful of issues you should consider before going shopping for them. First, they will sway whenever the door is open or shut, when the wind bangs the slats against the glass. This creates unwanted noise. A fix is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the appearance and do little to reduce the noise. Second, these window treatments offer privacy but come up short in temperature control. The thin material does little to block the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the personalized touch that wows a guest as they come through the entry door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modernized window covering you’ve been shopping for in Dover. Constructed from solid wood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are fixed to the door’s frame while giving the louvers enough room to tilt. Now opening and shutting the front door does not result in any noise.

 

When the louvers are closed all the way, plantation shutters give you complete temperature control and privacy. Just move the louvers by shifting the tilt rod to let in more of the view and the light. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers block 30° of temperature and reduce airflow by up to 45%.

 

The beauty of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a variety of louver sizes, frame styles, wood stains, and a paint matching program, you finally get the modernized look you’ve been looking for. Our professionals aid you in choosing custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll mount them to fit your sidelights flawlessly.
