So Long Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Cincinnati, OH!

The entry door is one of the first things a guest notices about your Cincinnati house as they’re knocking. The sidelights on the sides contribute to the charm of the entry door. But, they take away from your privacy. That’s why window treatments are an excellent solution for the entry door’s sidelights.

 

Many Cincinnati residents chose traditional window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. But they may not have realized there’s a more fashionable alternative: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds, shades, and other old fashioned window treatments may be the window treatments that come to mind as options for sidelights. You can find them in home improvement stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And youhave a grasp on how to install them and operate them.

 

Remember that sidelight shades and blinds come with a few issues you should consider before buying them. First, they’re likely to sway every time the door is opened and closed, when the wind shakes the slats against the glass. This leads to annoying noise. One way to fix that is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the look and do little to reduce the noise. Second, shades and blinds provide privacy but are poor at temperature control. The thin material does little to block the hot or cold outdoor conditions. And third, blinds and shades don’t have the customized style that wows a guest as they enter through the main door. Plantation shutters do.

 

 

Plantation shutters are the modern window covering you’ve been looking for in Cincinnati. Constructed from hardwood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are installed on the frame of the door while allowing the louvers to move. Now opening and shutting the front door does not result in any noise.

 

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

 

The elegance of plantation shutters for sidelights is more than energy savings. With a variety of louver sizes, frame styles, wood stains, and a paint matching program, you are finally able to enjoy the modernized touch you’ve been looking for.
