Sidelight windows are an architectural feature next to your door that lets in more light and allows you to see outside without opening your door. They can come in various styles, including versions with clear, patterned, or frosted glass. While you don’t have to worry about privacy with the frosted glass versions, you might with the other two. Furthermore, you may want additional control over the natural light in your home or business and the temperature inside the space. At Pacific Shutters & Shades, you can find a collection of window treatments perfect for any window, including sidelights.

Like other windows, sidelights can let more sunlight into your home or business, bringing the benefit of additional lighting into the darker entryway space. While this is beneficial at times, sometimes, the sunlight can be overbearing, making you or other people uncomfortable. For example, if the sun is setting and the light is pouring through your sidelights into your home’s living space, people trying to relax in the evening may be annoyed by having to squint through the sunlight. With window treatments, you can get protection from this and more.

If you own a home or business with clear sidelights, there are some considerations for you to make. The first is how well you can see outside from the interior of your home or business, and the second is how well others can see inside from the exterior. While clear sidelights aren’t as common as the other two, they do exist, and having a way to protect your privacy is important. Thankfully, blinds, cellular shades, and shutters offer excellent privacy control for your home or business, freeing you from worrying about privacy.

As with other windows, sidelights can be a source of heat exchange between the indoors and outdoors. Over time, this leads to warm air seeping into your home or business from outside and the cold air escaping, making it harder to control the temperature in your home or business. However, if you choose to add window treatments to your sidelights (not to mention the other windows in your home or business), you can start to control the temperature more efficiently. This ability can lower the cost of cooling your space, saving you money.
