How to Select the Perfect French Doors with Sidelights in Utah
Sidelights are narrow sections resembling the steel or iron doors they flank on one or both sides. The final product usually comes with glass and remains popular for home interiors and exteriors in Utah.
Here’s how you can select French patio doors with sidelights at Pinky’s Iron Doors.
Match with Your Iron Front Door
If you thought half as much about how you want to present your backyard as you do your curb, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.
The easiest way to select a French door with sidelights is to tie it up with the front door aesthetically. For instance, if you own a rather contemporary front door like AIR 5 - Double Flat, you could get an AIR 5 - W/ Sidelights Flat Top as a patio door.
Create a Contrast with Tops
Iron doors with sidelights in Utah tend to feature full arches, which is great because it allows you to match the door design-wise and contrast top-wise.
For instance, if you currently have an AIR 5 - W/ Sidelights Double Full Arch for your entry door, you could add an AIR 5 - W/ Sidelights Double Flat Top as a patio or balcony door. If you don’t have the space for a double door, you could just as easily get a single French door with sidelights and maintain the contrast with your front door.
Choose a Single Sidelight
Not every connected space has enough room for a door and sidelights. However, there are plenty of ways around the space problem.
If you have enough room for double doors but not double sidelights, you can do one of two things:
· Keep the double French door and add a single sidelight, such as the AIR 4 W/ Right Sidelight - Double Flat Top.
· If you can’t fit even a single sidelight with the double door, swap it for an AIR - Single Flat with double sidelights.
· If your doorway hardly allows a single door, add a transom on top to let in more light.
Integrate with the Interior
If space isn’t the issue for you, there are plenty of ways you can get your French door with sidelights right or wrong. You could match or contrast your façade as mentioned above or blend your patio door with the interior doors in its vicinity. It would certainly make for a smoother inside-out transition.
