What Are The Most Preferred Front Door Window Treatments For Dover?

February 12, 2021

When covering a window on a front entryway, you don’t want something that moves when you open the door or hides unique shaped windows like shades and blinds do. You want something that covers your front door windows to manage privacy and light and shows off their form. That leaves versatile plantation shutters as your preferred choice for front door window treatments in Dover. They suit all windows to provide the coverage and elegance you desire in your entryway.

Plantation Shutters Give Full Coverage On Front Door Windows

You’ll sometimes observe shades and blinds on a front door, but they aren’t the most preferred front door window treatments for Dover homeowners who look to manage privacy and light in their entryways. They swing at the smallest motion, giving a view into the inside of your house even after you close the door.

When you don’t like your window treatments smacking against your door, interior shutters are your best option. They fasten to the window frame and every piece stays put. They will not knock into the knob or get strings caught in the door.

Of course, you can tip the louvers to control privacy and sunlight. Shut them to shield your home from intrusive passersby and sunlight or open them for filtered light. If you desire direct sunlight, you can swing open the shutter panel and allow it to stream in. When a visitor rings your doorbell, crack open your shutter louvers to look at your stoop and see who is there.

Interior Shutters Provide Awkward Sidelight Windows With A Custom Style

Sidelights are the slim windows on either side of a door. They give your entryway extra sunlight and a view outdoors. They also allow people to peer directly into your Dover house or they blind you with glaring sunlight if you don’t find a way to cover them.

Being so thin, sidelights look best with custom crafted plantation shutters. The neat lines of the shutters set off slim sidelights that are otherwise hidden by billowing curtains or blind strings. Their louvers give your entryway an appealing structural feature and texture. You can select from three different sizes of louvers and many neutral colors to get the style you want. Choose from clean white Polywood® shutters or the vivid hues of premium wood Ovation® shutters to effortlessly match or set off the trim around your front door.

Interior Shutters Fit Lovely Eyebrow And Circle Windows

“Eyebrow” windows are small arched windows at the top of doors. You may also find circle windows above doors or on them. Both shapes offer plenty of charm to the exterior of your Dover home and its entryway but can be an inconvenience if they look in a direction that allows in a lot of glare.

You may hide these windows with a shade or blinds, but you’ll lose their pleasant shapes. Instead, consider plantation shutters. Interior shutters can be custom-built to fit any window shape--even challenging round ones. You can still operate them, too. Like straight windows simply utilize the tilt rod to open and close the louvers to deflect or restrict sun glare in your entrance.
