Should You Get an Entry Door With Sidelights?

Home > Blog > Should You Get an Entry Door With Sidelights?

The entry door is one of the first things guests see when they visit your home – and it also sets their expectations on what the rest of your home will look like. That’s why you have to make sure your new entry door unit can make a lasting impression from the curb. A lovely door design can help with this, but have you considered adding sidelights as well?

Increased Access to Natural Light

Sidelights are narrow windows along one or both sides of the entry door. With them in place, more natural light can stream inside your home, giving it a neater, airier and more spacious look. This same fact also allows for improved energy efficiency. Because you won’t be relying on artificial to illuminate your home in the daytime, you can enjoy greater energy savings.

Optimized Viewing Area

Entry door sidelights come in different types. If you’ve decided on transparent ones, it will be much easier to check who’s at the door without having to peer through an awkwardly angled peephole. Do you have pets? You can go for sidelights that extend through the floor, making them an ideal spot for pets who love to spend their time looking outside.

Instant Point of Interest

Making a decorative statement with your entry door is more worry-free when you add sidelights. But you’ll want to make sure the sidelights you chose can match the inserts of your new entry door.
