Goodbye Old Fashioned Window Treatments For Entry Door Sidelights In Minneapolis, MN!

Your front door is the first impression a guest has of your Minneapolis home when they walk up to ring the bell. The sidelights on the sides add to the charm of the door. At the same time, they diminish your privacy. Say hello to window shutters. These window fashions are the ideal option for the sidelights on your entry door.

 

Many Minneapolis residents chose classic window treatments for sidelights, such as blinds or shades. Yet there’s a more modern option: entry door sidelight shutters.

 

Blinds, shades, and other old fashioned window treatments may be the first window treatments you think of when you consider sidelights. They’re available in home improvement stores in sizes close to those of your entry door sidelights. And you already know how to set them up and use them.

 

However sidelight blinds and shades come with a few concerns to think about before buying them. First, they are known to sway any time the door is opened and closed, when the wind bounces the bars against the glass. This results in annoying noise. One way to fix that is to tie them down at the bottom. But this would possibly change the appearance and may not reduce the noise. Second, blinds and shades offer privacy but come up short in temperature control. The frail material is not effective at blocking the hot or cold outdoor conditions. 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 looking for in Minneapolis. Crafted from basswood or wood polymer, shutters for entry door sidelights are mounted on the door’s frame while allowing the louvers to move. This means opening and shutting the main door does not make any noise.

 

When the louvers are closed all the way, plantation shutters give you total privacy and temperature control. Easily tilt the louvers using a tilt rod to see more of the scenery and the sunshine. And Polywood® plantation shutters louvers deflect 30° of temperature and decrease airflow by up to 45%.

 

The elegance of plantation shutters for sidelights goes beyond the energy savings. With a wide selection of louver sizes, frame styles, wood stains, and a paint matching program, you finally have the modernized touch you want. Our specialists help you in deciding on custom window shutters for your entry sidelights. And we’ll set them up to fit your sidelights seamlessly.
