Goodbye Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Seattle, Washington!

Your front door is the first impression a guest has of your Seattle home when they land on the doormat. The sidelights on the sides add to the beauty of the front door. At the same time, they diminish your privacy. Say hello to window shutters. These window fashions are the ideal choice for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

A share Seattle residents installed outdated window treatments for sidelights, such as shades and blinds. But there’s a more contemporary alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Shades and blinds might be the first window treatments you think of as options for sidelights. They’re available in home improvement stores in sizes that may not be an exact fit for your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to mount them and open and close them.

 

However shades and blinds for sidelights include a handful of considerations to keep in mind before purchasing them. First, they are known to sway any time the door is opened and closed, when the wind bounces the slats against the glass. This creates unwanted noise. One solution is to tie them down at the bottom. But this might change the appearance and have little effect on reducing the noise. Second, blinds and shades provide privacy but are poor at temperature control. The fragile material does little to block the outside temperature - hot or cold. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the personalized touch that wows a guest as they enter through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the contemporary window treatment you’ve been looking for in Seattle. Made from basswood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the door’s frame while allowing the louvers to move. This means opening and shutting the front door does not result in any noise.

 

When the louvers are closed all the way, plantation shutters give you total temperature control and privacy. Easily tilt the louvers using a tilt rod to see more of the view and the light. And Polywood® plantation shutters louvers deflect 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 frame styles, wood stains, louver sizes, and a paint matching program, you finally get the modernized style you’ve been looking for.
