Sidelights for External Doors

What are sidelights?

Sidelights are typically full length double glazed narrow windows that flank either side of exterior doors. 

They’re more than just decorative though. The main functionof these glazed panels is to bring in more natural light, making your foyer or hallway brighter and more welcoming, and reduces the need for artificial lighting. A front door with sidelights can instantly boost your home’s kerb appeal too and give it a more distinctive, grandiose appearance.

Transform Your Entrance With Front Door Sidelights

Pairing your front door with sidelights can really transform the overall appearance of your home. 

Whether you prefer the modern, clean look of clear glazed sidelights or more traditional pattern styles that are great for maintaining privacy, unfinished oak sidelights can be customised to fit your taste, complement your front door and door frame, or the overall colour scheme of your home.

Wooden front doors with side panels are a fantastic and versatile way to not only refresh your exterior but also open up the interior of your home with better light flow - combining the richness and premium quality feel of wood with the practical benefits of full length windows.
