So Long Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Hartford, CT!

The entry door is a key design element of your Hartford home - and one that guests take note of when they land on the doormat. The sidelights on the sides add to the beauty of the door. However, they lessen your privacy. That’s why window coverings are the ideal solution for your entry door sidelights.

 

A number of Hartford residents have opted for traditional window treatments for sidelights, such as shades and blinds. But they may not have realized there’s a more stylish option: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades could be the first window treatments you think of when it comes to sidelights. They’re available in hardware stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And you already know how to mount them and use them.

 

But sidelight blinds and shades include a handful of considerations to keep in mind before buying them. First, they will sway every time the door is open or shut, when the wind bounces the strips against the glass. This leads to irritating noise. One way to fix that is to tie them down at the bottom. But this might change the appearance and do little to reduce the noise. Second, these window treatments offer privacy but are poor at temperature control. The thin material fails to insulate against the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, neither shades nor blinds have the personalized touch that wows a guest as they come through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modernized window fashion you’ve been shopping for in Hartford. Constructed 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 means opening and shutting the entry door does not make any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters offer complete temperature control and privacy. Easily tilt the louvers with a tilt rod to see more of the view and the light. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers block 30° of temperature and reduce airflow by up to 45%.

 

The elegance 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 finally have the modern touch you love. Our specialists aid you in picking custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll install them to fit your sidelights flawlessly.
