Farewell Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Southern California!

The entry door is one of the first things a guest notices about your Southern California house when they walk up to ring the bell. Glass sidelights contribute to the charm of the entry door. At the same time, they take away from your home’s privacy. That’s why window coverings are an excellent option for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

Many Southern California residents have opted for classic window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. But there’s a more fashionable alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades may be the first window treatments you think of as options for sidelights. They’re sold in hardware stores in sizes that approximately fit your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to set them up and operate them.

 

Remember that sidelight blinds and shades come with a few concerns to think about before going shopping for them. First, they are known to sway any time the door is opened and closed, when the wind shakes the bars against the glass. This creates annoying noise. One solution is to tie them down at the bottom. But this would possibly change the appearance and have little effect on reducing the noise. Second, these window treatments provide privacy but are poor at temperature control. The thin material is not effective at blocking the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, neither shades nor blinds have the customized style that impresses your guests as they come through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the contemporary window treatment you’ve been shopping for in Southern California. Constructed from basswood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are installed on the door frame while allowing the louvers to move. Now using the main door does not result in any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters offer complete privacy and control over temperature. Just move the louvers using a tilt rod to bring in more of the light and the view. And Polywood® plantation shutters louvers deflect 30° of temperature and reduce airflow by up to 45%.

 

The elegance of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a collection of wood stains, louver sizes, frame styles, and a paint matching program, you are finally able to enjoy the modernized look you love. Our specialists assist you in deciding on custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll mount them to fit your sidelights seamlessly.
