Entrance composition
Entry Doors with Sidelights
Sidelights bring daylight and visual width to an entrance. Their strongest use is as part of a single composition rather than an add-on beside the door.
Planning points
One side or both sides
A single sidelight can respond to an asymmetrical plan, while paired sidelights create a more formal centered entrance.
Align glass and panel lines
Heads, sills, mullions and decorative lines are coordinated to avoid a collection of unrelated rectangles.
Privacy where it matters
Glass visibility is reviewed from both exterior and interior viewpoints, including approach paths and neighboring properties.

Planning questions
What to confirm before quotation
Can a sidelight be on only one side?
Yes. Left or right sidelights can be planned to suit the facade and interior layout.
Can a transom be added above?
Yes. A transom can be aligned with the door and sidelights when the opening and structure allow.
