External Door Sidelights

Our Side Lights feature a stunning decorative centre layer of hand-cut patterned and beveled glass, complemented by black, brass, or zinc carnings. With two layers of clear glass on each side, they offer a seamless finish. At Emerald Doors, we offer a variety of oak and hardwood sidelights that can be customised to fit non-standard openings. Choose from contemporary styles with clear or obscure glass to perfectly match our door range.

Match the Style

Choose sidelights that align with the overall style and architecture of your home. Consider traditional, contemporary, or custom designs that complement your external door.

Size and Proportions

Measure the available space on each side of the external door to determine the appropriate size and proportions for the sidelights. Ensure they are compatible with the door and frame dimensions.

Material and Finish

Opt for materials that match or complement your door, such as wood or uPVC. Ensure the materials are durable and weather-resistant. Select finishes that enhance the aesthetic appeal of your sidelights.

Installation and Compatibility

Check the compatibility of the sidelights with your specific door and frame type. Follow installation guidelines or consult professionals to ensure proper fitting and functionality.
