Double Entry Doors With Sidelights

Double Entry Doors With Sidelights

Some homes must endure tougher locations and more movement than others. When a house is without fair weather, or has more people moving around, in and out, the front door feels the brunt of these harsh conditions. One popular solution to these problems are getting fiberglass entry doors with sidelights. The use of fiberglass as surface material for doors is borne out of its resistance to warping, splitting and rotting compared to wood, especially under those severe conditions. It is energy-efficient as it insulates three to five times better and permits natural light into homes. It is also supposed to be eight times stronger than vinyl and twice as strong as steel. The addition of sidelights is not only to fortify entry and patio doors with extra support and insulation but also beautify doors further just like accouterments of a fireplace or wall.

Sidelights are narrow panes or windows added to the side of doors or larger windows. A door may have a single sidelight on one side or bifold sidelights flanking either side. This is often determined by the width of the entryway. Houses where the entryways are wider than general door sizes could use fiberglass entry doors with sidelights, one or two depending on what can fit in the entryway. A wood grain surface on these doors, which mirrors older solid wood doors, finished with various wood textures, is one of the most attractive qualities to buyers. Another is the make using fiberglass and composite material, which provides resistance to air and moisture penetration, insect damage and rotting, and stainless steel in various parts, which provides resistance to corrosion.
