Sidelite
A tall narrow glass panel beside an entry door — on one or both sides — that lets light into the entry.
What it means for you
Adds daylight and curb appeal, plus cost and a bit more glass to secure and seal. If privacy or security is a worry, obscure or laminated glass in the sidelite handles it.
Where you'll see it
Entry-door quotes; each sidelite adds to the price.
Also sold as: sidelight
