So Long Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Phoenix, AZ!

Your entry door is the first impression a guest has of your Phoenix home when they walk up to ring the bell. Glass sidelights enhance the charm of the door. At the same time, they take away from your privacy. That’s why window treatments are an excellent choice for your entry door sidelights.

 

Many Phoenix residents went with outdated window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. But they may not have realized there’s a more fashionable alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades may be the window treatments that come to mind when it comes to sidelights. They’re available in hardware stores in sizes that may not be an exact fit for your entry door sidelights. And you already know how to mount them and open and close them.

 

Remember that blinds and shades for sidelights come with a few considerations to keep in mind before buying them. First, they will sway every time the door is used, when the wind bangs the slats against the glass. This leads to unwanted noise. One way to fix that is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the style and do little to reduce the noise. Second, these window treatments give you privacy but are poor at temperature control. The frail material fails to insulate against the hot or cold outdoor conditions. And third, blinds and shades don’t have the custom look that impresses your guests as they come through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window treatment you’ve been shopping for in Phoenix. Constructed from solid wood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are installed on the frame of the door while allowing the louvers to move. This way, opening and shutting the main door does not result in any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters offer complete privacy and temperature control. Easily tilt the louvers with a tilt rod to bring in more of the sunshine and the scenery. And the louvers of Polywood® plantation shutters block 30° of temperature and lessen airflow by up to 45%.

 

The charm of plantation shutters for sidelights isn’t limited to energy savings. With a variety of louver sizes, frame styles, wood stains, and a paint matching program, you are finally able to enjoy the contemporary touch you love. Our experts aid you in deciding on custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll mount them to fit your sidelights seamlessly.
