By Martin Faith Stained Glass Benefits, Stained Glass Design & Styles Comments Off

Of course you value your privacy highly. Don’t we all? In fact, the need for privacy is one of the reasons home ownership is so important in San Antonio and around Texas. What happens when the desire for privacy and the desire for sunlight inside your home clash?

Many San Antonio homes have a front door surrounded by sidelights on either side. These sidelights are a pretty design feature that add interest to your entryway and let light into what might be a dark corner of your home. Frequently, foyers, vestibules, and front hallways are cramped and dark, and the sun shooting in through the sidelights makes a welcome burst of light in that area. This is especially important if your door is solid wood with no glass panel that lets any light through. (But we hope you at least have a peephole!)

Why Stained Glass Sidelights, San Antonio?

The only downside to those sidelights in your entryway? They allow people who come to your front door to look inside your home, whether you are home or not, whether you want them to or not. Perhaps this is not the world’s greatest invasion of privacy, but if it bothers you—what can you do about it? We’ve seen people who painted over these windows (rather drastic) and taped paper over them (just plain ugly, wouldn’t you agree?). Both of these privacy solutions completely block the natural light from entering the area, making a dark corner even darker. Isn’t it lovely to walk into a lovely, sunlight entrance to a home?

San Antonio Stained Glass Entryways

We believe that the best solution is installing custom stained glass sidelights. Whether you choose colored or clear, frosted stained glass sidelights, San Antonio homes will have more privacy, let the light in, and add value and aesthetic appeal.

You might even want to consider adding a stained glass panel in your front door to match the sidelights. This creates a striking entrance to your home that says class and great taste! After all, your entryway is people’s first impression of your home. Why not go all out, Texas style, and make it as stunning as possible?
