Goodbye Outdated Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Bakersfield, CA!

November 24, 2015
Your front door is a key design element of your Bakersfield home - and one that guests take note of when they land on the doormat. The sidelights on the sides contribute to the elegance of the entry door. At the same time, they diminish your privacy. That’s why window fashions are a perfect choice for the sidelights on your entry door.
 
A number of Bakersfield residents have opted for outdated window treatments for sidelights, like shades and blinds. Yet there’s a more fashionable choice: entry door sidelight shutters.
 

Shades & Blinds For Entry Door Sidelights

Shades and blinds may be the first window coverings that come to mind when you consider sidelights. They’re sold in home stores in sizes that approximately fit your entry door sidelights. And you’re familiar with how to set them up and open and close them.
 
Remember that shades and blinds for sidelights have some issues you should consider before purchasing them. First, they are known to sway any time the door is open or shut, when the wind bounces the strips against the glass. This leads to unwanted noise. One solution is to tie them down at the bottom. But this can potentially change the appearance and may not reduce the noise. Second, blinds and shades provide privacy but aren’t suited for temperature control. The frail material is not effective at blocking the outside temperature - hot or cold. And third, shades and blinds don’t have the customized style that wows a guest as they walk in through the main door. Plantation shutters do.

Plantation shutters are the modernized window fashion you’ve been shopping for in Bakersfield. Crafted from hardwood or wood substitute, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the door’s frame while allowing the louvers to move. This means using the main door does not create any noise.
 
When the louvers are closed all the way, plantation shutters offer total temperature control and privacy. Simply adjust the louvers using a tilt rod to let in more of the sunshine and the scenery. And with Polywood® plantation shutters, the louvers block 30° of temperature and decrease airflow by up to 45%.
 
The elegance of plantation shutters for sidelights isn’t limited to energy savings. With a variety of frame styles, wood stains, louver sizes, and a paint matching program, you finally get the modern look you want. Our professionals help you in choosing custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll set them up to fit your sidelights seamlessly.
