Sidelight Installation

What This Service Involves

Sidelights transform a dark entryway by bringing daylight alongside your front door. We frame and install these narrow glass panels with insulated, tempered glass and full flashing so the wider opening stays weather-tight in our rainy climate. Options like frosted or decorative glass balance brightness with privacy. Careful trim and casing tie the sidelights seamlessly into your existing entry for a bright, welcoming first impression.

Our Process

1) Plan the opening width to add one or two sidelight panels; 2) Reframe and flash the enlarged rough opening; 3) Set the sidelight units and door as an integrated system; 4) Insulate, seal, and case the assembly to match your trim

Best Time of Year

Because sidelights widen an exterior opening, drier months are the best time to install them.
