Sometimes, your home’s exterior needs something more substantial than a boring old single door as a front entrance. That’s where sidelights come in. Sidelights are narrow windows that frame your entry door to lend it a more attractive and interesting look. 


But sidelights don’t just serve an aesthetic purpose, but also a utilitarian one. In today’s post, the roof replacement and door installation experts over at Burr Roofing, Siding, & Windows share three unique advantages of installing sidelights.


1. They Let In More Natural Light


Probably one of the biggest benefits of getting sidelights for your entry door is that they allow more natural light into your home. It can become a source of light during the day and mood lighting at night. If you’re not a fan of peepholes, it also allows you to see who is ringing the doorbell without opening your door. 


2. Enhanced Curb Appeal


Vinyl siding and door installation companies may recommend getting sidelights if you want to enhance the curb appeal and visual interest of your home. It is also a smart way of increasing your home’s resale value without having to spend too much. If you want to turn your house into the envy of the neighborhood, then installing sidelights can help you achieve just that. 


3. More Fresh Air


If you want to let in more fresh air through a door opening, then screen doors can be quite useful. However, screen doors are not a very good option if you own a handcrafted or historic front door that you don’t want to cover up. With sidelights, you can preserve the look and feel of your home without sacrificing aesthetics.
