Benefits of Sidelight Window Shutters

We're all familiar with the blessing and the curse that are sidelights. On the one hand, they tend to be gorgeous, let in a nice amount of light, and give us a good opportunity to see outside our front door without having to open it.

The flip side is that they're typically difficult to find window treatments for and can be a large privacy concern; we don't want everyone who comes up to our front door to get a great view of the indoors.

Enter the solution: sidelight window shutters. These timeless and elegant window treatments provide your home with the privacy it needs while maintaining the excellent natural light control that you desire. Here are six reasons why you should consider adding sidelight window shutters:

1. Customization Options

Window shutters can not only be used for sidelights but to cover a window that is not a standard size. Sidelights often differ from the main window and may need their own shutters. You can use sidelight windows as an alternative to French doors or picture windows, or you might want to cover up an arched or curved window with sidelight shutters.

Shutters are also great for small rooms that need extra privacy but lack space for larger blinds or shades.

2. Privacy and Keeping Your Home Yours

Sidelight window shutters are a great way to add an element of privacy to your home or business. Where other window treatments offer privacy elements, shutters lend themselves to a more solid and resolute standard.

3. Even MORE Customization Options

Oh you thought we were done customizing after size? Incorrect in our favorite way. Beyond tailoring the size and shape to your windows, our sidelight shutters also have a wide range of color and even material options for you to choose from.

4. Accent Your Aesthetics

Depending on the look you want to achieve for your home interior décor, you can choose a sidelight shutter that matches other interior décor elements in your home, such as crown moldings or baseboards. Sidelight shutters come in both traditional and contemporary designs so there is sure to be something that will fit with any style of décor you have going on inside your house.

5. UV Protection and Heat Management

Sidelight window shutters are a great way to optimize your home's internal temperature. They do a fantastic job of limiting heat transfer in all seasons - meaning your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Your energy bill will love these as well.

One last piece of protection they provide you is the blocking of UV rays. Whether you've got a rug, table, or other furniture near your sidelights, this all has the danger of becoming washed out if exposed to too much sunlight.

6. Additional Side Features

You can also take advantage of sidelight shutter options that provide additional functionality such as blackout panels or solar control glass panels that help regulate temperature during hot weather months.
