Custom Stained Glass Sidelights Let the Light Shine in For Houston Homes
At Custom Stained Glass Houston, sidelights are one of the most popular projects we are commissioned to make. Sidelights, just in case you are not familiar with the term, are not lights at all, but those thin glass panels on one or both sides of your home’s front door.
Then why are they called sidelights, you might be wondering?
Because those thin slivers of glass can open up your entryway and let significant amounts of more light into your entryway—which could be sorely needed. Some homes have entryways that are closed off, narrow, windowless, cramped, and dark all the time. We can’t help with the cramped aspect of it, but one way to give these entryways more light is by installing stained glass sidelights.
Do you have room on either side of your door for a sidelight? Many homes come with them, and you’d think the homeowners would be thrilled, but we hear complaints all the time about the lack of privacy they create. Custom Stained Glass Houston provides the solution to both problems, with stained glass sidelights that are installed to one side or both sides of the door, allowing more light to come in without compromising privacy.
If privacy is the main issue, choose a frosted or otherwise semi-transparent glass for your stained glass sidelights. If more light is the main issue, then you’ll have even more choices available. And for even more light, consider replacing your solid wood front door with one containing a glass panel . . . a glass panel that will contain matching stained glass to the sidelights, of course.
As we mentioned, custom stained glass sidelights are hugely popular with Houston homeowners. Take a look at our sidelight gallery, for just some of the hundreds of sidelight designs we’ve created for our customers over the past two decades. And if you have an entirely different idea, our designers will work with you to make it a reality. That’s what “custom” is all about!
To get some ideas about finished entryways, with one or two sidelights, a stained glass panel in the front door, or even in a transom window over the door, take a look at our entryway gallery. We know you’ll have so many great ideas and inspirations, picking the perfect sidelights for your home will be the biggest challenge.
