Goodbye Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Boston, MA!

Your front door is the first impression a guest has of your Boston home as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides contribute to the charm of the front door. But, they take away from your overall privacy. This is where window fashions are the ideal solution for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

A number of Boston homeowners have opted for classic window treatments for sidelights, including blinds and shades. Yet there’s a more fashionable option: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds, shades, and other old fashioned window treatments could be the window treatments that come to mind as options for sidelights. You can find them in home improvement stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to install them and operate them.

 

Remember that blinds and shades for sidelights have some issues you should consider before purchasing them. First, they will sway every time the door is open or shut, when the wind shakes the bars against the glass. This leads to irritating noise. One way to fix that is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the style and may not reduce the noise. Second, these window treatments offer privacy but are poor at temperature control. The thin material is not effective at blocking the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the personalized touch that blows a guest away as they enter through the entry door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modernized window fashion you’ve been searching for in Boston. Built from basswood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are fixed to the frame of the door while giving the louvers enough room to tilt. Now opening and closing the entry door does not make any noise.

 

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

 

The beauty of plantation shutters for sidelights isn’t limited to energy savings. With a collection of wood stains, louver sizes, frame styles, and a paint matching program, you finally have the modern look you’ve been looking for. Our experts help you in deciding on custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll set them up to fit your sidelights perfectly.
