  • Planning for This Window

What to Plan For

Sidelights are narrow vertical windows typically found beside entry doors. They let in natural light but can expose your home to outside views. Our sidelight window treatments include slim cellular shades, mini blinds, and fabric panels that provide the privacy you need while maintaining the welcoming feel of your entryway. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, these treatments are custom-fit to create a seamless finish.
Elegant wooden front door with shutters in a cozy home interior.

Narrow Widths

Sidelights are slim, so the covering has to fit a small space neatly.
Try:
Duette®, Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

Front Door Privacy

Keep visitors from seeing in while light still reaches the entry.
Try:
Silhouette®, Luminette®

Curb Appeal

Sidelights face the street. Match them to the door for a finished look.
Try:
Heritance® Wood Shutters, NewStyle® Shutters

Safe for kids and pets. Every style we recommend comes cordless or motorized, in line with Canada’s rules for corded window coverings.

Questions About Sidelights

Still wondering? Call a showroom or ask your design consultant at your free visit.

What defines sidelights when referring to entryway doors? Sidelights are narrow, vertical window panels located on one or both sides of an entryway door. They are designed to bring more natural light into your home's entrance, creating a brighter and more welcoming feel. What types of window treatments are best for sidelights in Edmonton homes? For sidelights in Edmonton homes, slim-profile blinds, cellular shades, and shutters are ideal. These window treatments offer excellent privacy and light control, while also providing a clean, unobtrusive look that complements your entryway. How can sidelight window treatments enhance privacy and manage light in Edmonton entryways? Sidelight window treatments enhance privacy by blocking views into your home, while also allowing you to control natural light levels. Custom options like cellular shades or shutters can be adjusted to let in sunlight or provide full obscurity for Edmonton entryways. How are sidelight window treatments installed in Edmonton homes? Sidelight window treatments are commonly installed with a shallow mounting depth or directly onto the door frame for a seamless fit in Edmonton homes. This installation method ensures optimal operation, light control, and privacy, all while maintaining the narrow profile of the sidelights.

Unbelievably friendly, helpful staff. I met Lizzy and Dan, and between them they fixed my vertical blind's issue in no time flat, even though it was not their brand of blind.
Thank you, you made my day.

We had a wonderful experience with Blinds Magic from start to finish. Jennifer was incredible at helping us select the right blinds and Scott was exceptional at installation. Both were professional, patient, and very personable. Highly recommend!

I had been looking for parts for my Hunter Douglas blinds that were a year past their warranty. I had bought a grommet set on Amazon, but they weren't the right fit. I went to the place where I had bought my blinds, but they didn't have all the parts I needed, and they weren't accustomed to selling parts; only providing repairs. The parts I did get them to sell me were unexpectedly high. I started trying other Hunter Douglas locations.

In my search, I stumbled across this gem! Lizzy Moorhouse was so pleasant and helpful. She was knowledgeable about my blinds, which had been discontinued. Although they didn't carry all of the parts anymore, she offered me a solution and I walked away with everything I needed to get my blind working perfectly again. AND their prices were lower than expected! After all my hours of learning how my blind worked, researching the parts, then searching for parts (and time and money wasted with the grommets that weren't long enough for the thickness of the blind), I wish I had found this business FIRST. I hope my review will help someone else check them out when needing parts (and great service)! Thanks again, Lizzy! Spirits lifted; sanity intact! :)

We had Blind Magic outfit our entire home with blinds and had a great experience from start to finish. The whole process was seamless, and the installation was quick, professional, and friendly. Their customer service was excellent throughout, and everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. We’re very happy with the finished product and would absolutely recommend Blind Magic!
