Farewell Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Virginia Beach, VA!

The entry door is a key design element of your Virginia Beach home - and one that guests take note of as they’re knocking. The glass sidelights on either side add to the elegance of the entry door. But, they reduce your home’s privacy. That’s why window coverings are a perfect choice for the sidelights on your entry door.

 

A share Virginia Beach residents installed traditional window treatments for sidelights, including blinds or shades. But there’s a more contemporary option: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades could be the window treatments that come to mind when it comes to sidelights. They’re sold in home 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 buying them. First, they will sway every time the door is opened and closed, when the wind bangs the slats against the glass. This creates irritating noise. A fix is to tie them down at the bottom. But this would possibly change the look and may not reduce the noise. Second, blinds and shades offer privacy but aren’t suited for temperature control. The frail material fails to insulate against the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, blinds and shades don’t have the customized style that impresses your guests as they enter through the entry door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modernized window fashion you’ve been looking for in Virginia Beach. Built from hardwood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the frame of the door while letting the louvers move freely. This way, opening and shutting the main door does not result in any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters give you ultimate privacy and control over temperature. Just move the louvers using a tilt rod to see more of the light and the view. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers deflect 30° of temperature and lessen airflow by up to 45%.

 

The charm of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a variety of wood stains, louver sizes, frame styles, and a paint matching program, you can finally the contemporary touch you want. Our professionals help you in deciding on custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll set them up to fit your sidelights flawlessly.
