Farewell Traditional Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Detroit, MI!

Your front door is a key design element of your Detroit home - and one that guests take note of as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides contribute to the elegance of the entry door. But, they diminish your privacy. That’s why window coverings are an excellent option for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

A number of Detroit residents have opted for outdated window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. Yet there’s a more stylish alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Shades and blinds may be the first window treatments you think of when it comes to sidelights. You can find them in home improvement stores in sizes that may not be an exact fit for your entry door sidelights. And youhave a grasp on how to set them up and operate them.

 

However blinds and shades for sidelights come with a few concerns to think about before going shopping for them. First, they are known to sway every time the door is opened and closed, 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 have little effect on reducing the noise. Second, blinds and shades give you privacy but come up short in temperature control. The frail material fails to insulate against the outside temperature - hot or cold. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the custom look that blows a guest away as they enter through the entry door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window treatment you’ve been shopping for in Detroit. Constructed from basswood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the door’s frame while letting the louvers move freely. Now opening and closing the entry door does not result in any noise.

 

Tilt the louvers closed, and plantation shutters offer total temperature control and privacy. Just move the louvers using a tilt rod to see more of the sunshine and the scenery. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers block 30° of temperature and lessen airflow by up to 45%.

 

The beauty of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a collection of louver sizes, frame styles, wood stains, and a paint matching program, you can finally the contemporary look you’ve been looking for.
