Stained glass sidelights, San Antonio residences: why is this such a perfect combination?

Many residences in the San Antonio area are part of sprawling developments where, to be honest, most of the homes look the same. Some of our clients have complained that they can barely distinguish their own home from their neighbors’ when they come home at night.

With the addition of custom stained glass sidelights, San Antonio entryways can have the beauty and uniqueness that their owners have been missing. And an extra dose of privacy too, if that feature is something the homeowner would like.

The purpose of sidelights is to add more light to a home’s entryway. The foyer or hallway in the entrance is frequently a dark and dim area of a home. With sidelights, more light can get through but prying eyes can also see in.

Stained glass sidelights, San Antonio homeowners are finding out, is the perfect stunning solution to all those problems. It gives your entryway a fresh, elegant, individualized appeal. It tells everyone who sees it that you have great taste, and that they can expect even more beauty on the inside. It continues to let in the sunlight (depending on which kind of stained glass you choose), and it adds that missing privacy.

Did you notice that many or most of the stained glass sidelights San Antonio and other clients are ordering is colorless? That was what we were referring to when we said your new stained glass sidelights would continue to let in light while affording more privacy. This colorless/beveled glass style is what we call leaded stained glass. Since the bulk of the window design is frosted or pebbled glass, it is not transparent to the eye but will still let considerable sunlight into your dark entryway.
