I What Sidelights are and Why You Want to Consider Adding Them to Your Front Entry Enclosure

What Are Sidelights?

Sidelights are decorative aluminum inserts that affix to the screen(s) on one or both sides of a screen door on a front entry enclosure.

Consider Adding Sidelights To Your Front Entry Enclosure

Every home has a style. Adding a front entry enclosure is a great opportunity for you to add a customized look to the front of your home. Extend that style into the entry, add curb appeal and even additional security with sidelights.

The Benefits of Sidelights

They serve several purposes:

  • They carry the look of a home’s architecture to the front entry enclosure
  • They fill the openings on either side of the screen door
  • They add curb appeal
  • They add security (additional strength and durability) — they are made of the same strong .065 aluminum as PCA screen doors
  • They allow you to fully customize your front entry enclosure — six series of designs, corner scrolls and finials provide many decor options

Can I replace just the door on a door with sidelights?

Most likely! As long as the glass is serviceable (the glass can be removed) then this is an option. Many glass companies offer this service. They probably have several decorative options to choose from as well.

What is a screen door with glass called?

Storm doors refer to the glass door installed over your existing exterior door. They can add protection from the elements and increase home security, as well as let more natural light into your home. Storm doors that feature screens instead of glass are referred to as screen doors. They are made to ventilate your home.
