Sidelight

[2][3] While most commonly found as supporting elements emphasizing the importance of a primary entrance, sidelights may be employed at any interior or exterior door where a visual emphasis is desired, or where additional light or visibility is needed.

[4] Typically narrow, sidelights can be placed on both or just one side of a door and can include a sash or have glass that is stopped into the frame.

[6] Any number of window treatments can be employed to enhance privacy in doorways with sidelights.

Miniblinds, micro-miniblinds, and shirred curtains are among the window treatments that offer an increased level of privacy.

[6] Another choice is stained or beveled glass, which can offer some privacy while also contributing to the overall beauty of a building's design.
