Entryway systems available at major home improvement retailers often incorporate vertical, adjacent glass panels. These glass panels, known as sidelights, are integrated alongside the primary door to enhance natural light infiltration and expand the perceived width of the entryway. An example of such a system can be found at a nationwide chain specializing in home improvement and construction products.
The integration of these entryway systems provides a number of advantages. They increase the aesthetic appeal of a home’s facade, contributing to improved curb appeal and potentially influencing property value. Historically, sidelights offered a visual means of assessing visitors before opening the door, providing a degree of security. Their enduring popularity stems from their combined functional and design benefits.
