So Long Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In New York City, NY!

Your front door is one of the first things a guest notices about your New York house as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides enhance the beauty of the entry door. But, they reduce your overall privacy. That’s why window fashions are the ideal choice for your entry door sidelights.

 

Many New York residents installed traditional window treatments for sidelights, including blinds and shades. But there’s a more stylish alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds and shades might be the first window treatments you think of as options for sidelights. They’re sold in home stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And you already know how to set them up and operate them.

 

However blinds and shades for sidelights include a handful of issues you should consider before buying them. First, they are known to sway any time the door is opened and closed, when the wind shakes the slats against the glass. This leads to unwanted noise. A fix is to tie them down at the bottom. But this might change the appearance and may not reduce the noise. Second, shades and blinds give you privacy but aren’t suited for temperature control. The fragile material fails to insulate against the external temperature - warm or chilly. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the custom look that wows a guest as they walk in through the front door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the contemporary window covering you’ve been searching for in New York. Made from solid wood or wood synthetic, shutters for entry door sidelights are fixed to the frame of the door while letting the louvers move freely. This way, opening and shutting the main door does not lead to any noise.

 

Closed entirely, plantation shutters provide total privacy and temperature control. Simply adjust the louvers using a tilt rod to bring in more of the sunshine and the scenery. And Polywood® plantation shutters louvers insulate against 30° of temperature and lessen airflow by up to 45%.

 

The charm of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a wide selection of frame styles, wood stains, louver sizes, and a paint matching program, you can finally the contemporary look you love.
