Goodbye Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Philadelphia, PA!

Your front door is a key design element of your Philadelphia home - and one that guests take note of as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides contribute to the charm of the door. At the same time, they lessen your overall privacy. That’s why window coverings are an excellent solution for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

A number of Philadelphia homeowners installed traditional window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. But they may not have realized there’s a more stylish choice: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Shades and blinds might be the window treatments that come to mind as options for sidelights. They’re sold in home improvement stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to install them and use them.

 

But sidelight shades and blinds include a handful of concerns to think about before buying them. First, they’re likely to sway whenever the door is used, when the wind shakes the bars against the glass. This leads to unwanted noise. One solution is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the style and do little to reduce the noise. Second, blinds and shades provide privacy but aren’t suited for temperature control. The fragile material fails to insulate against the outside temperature - hot or cold. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the personalized touch that wows a guest as they walk in through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window treatment you’ve been shopping for in Philadelphia. Built from solid wood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are installed on the door’s frame while allowing the louvers to move. This means opening and closing the front door does not make any noise.

 

When the louvers are closed all the way, plantation shutters offer ultimate temperature control and privacy. Simply adjust the louvers with a tilt rod to bring in more of the scenery and the sunshine. And Polywood® plantation shutters louvers block 30° of temperature and reduce airflow by up to 45%.

 

The elegance of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a variety of frame styles, wood stains, louver sizes, and a paint matching program, you finally have the modernized style you want.
