So Long Traditional Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In New Brunswick, NJ!

Your front door is a key design element of your New Brunswick home - and one that guests take note of as they’re knocking. The glass sidelights on either side contribute to the charm of the front door. But, they diminish your overall privacy. That’s why window coverings are a perfect solution for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

Many New Brunswick residents have opted for classic window treatments for sidelights, like blinds and shades. But there’s a more stylish option: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades might be the window treatments that come to mind as options for sidelights. They’re sold in hardware stores in sizes that may not be an exact fit for your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to set them up and open and close them.

 

But sidelight blinds and shades come with a few issues you should consider before going shopping for them. First, they will sway every time the door is used, when the wind bangs the strips against the glass. This results in annoying noise. A fix is to tie them down at the bottom. But this would possibly change the appearance and have little effect on reducing the noise. Second, blinds and shades provide privacy but are poor at temperature control. The frail material does little to block the hot or cold outdoor conditions. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the custom look that wows a guest as they come through the main door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window treatment you’ve been looking for in New Brunswick. Built from basswood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the door frame while letting the louvers move freely. Now using the entry door does not lead to any noise.

 

Tilt the louvers closed, and plantation shutters offer total privacy and control over temperature. Simply adjust the louvers by shifting the tilt rod to see more of the sunshine and the scenery. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers deflect 30° of temperature and reduce airflow by up to 45%.

 

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