Goodbye Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Clearwater Florida!

Your front door is the first impression a guest has of your Clearwater home when they walk up to ring the bell. The glass sidelights on either side contribute to the elegance of the entry door. But, they diminish your home’s privacy. Say hello to window shutters. These window coverings are a perfect solution for the sidelights on your entry door.

 

A share Clearwater residents went with classic window treatments for sidelights, like blinds and shades. But they may not have realized there’s a more contemporary choice: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds, shades, and other old fashioned window treatments may be the first window coverings that come to mind when it comes to sidelights. They’re available in home stores in sizes that approximately fit your entry door sidelights. And youhave a grasp on how to install them and use them.

 

Remember that sidelight shades and blinds include a handful of issues you should consider before going shopping for them. First, they’re likely to sway any time the door is open or shut, when the wind bounces the slats against the glass. This creates annoying noise. A fix is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the look and may not reduce the noise. Second, shades and blinds give you privacy but come up short in temperature control. The fragile material fails to insulate against the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, neither shades nor blinds have the personalized touch that impresses your guests as they walk in through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window fashion you’ve been looking for in Clearwater. Constructed from hardwood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are fixed to the frame of the door while giving the louvers enough room to tilt. This way, opening and closing the main door does not lead to any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters provide complete temperature control and privacy. Just move the louvers by shifting the tilt rod to let in more of the view and the light. 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 isn’t limited to energy savings. With a collection of wood stains, louver sizes, frame styles, and a paint matching program, you are finally able to enjoy the contemporary touch you’ve been looking for. Our specialists assist you in picking custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll mount them to fit your sidelights seamlessly.
