Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Oct 20, 2020 6:45 am Hi I'm in the process of confirming a build design and I absolutely love this front door with side lights as pictured. The issue is obviously around privacy with all this glass. The front door will be set back about 6.5 m or just over from the footpath with some light maintenance landscaping and fencing in the front yard. So far options I have looked at Frosted or opaque films Designer films for example reeded glass A screenaway retractable blind on each side light. Plantation shutters for the side lights I would ultimately like to keep the look of glass on the front so I did look at a mirror film but I've heard that this becomes a problem in the evening. Any other ideas? I've included an image of reeded glass and plantation shutters as an example Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Help with front door and sidelights, privacy issue? 2Oct 20, 2020 9:56 am Bcr83 Hi I'm in the process of confirming a build design and I absolutely love this front door with side lights as pictured.

Oh well, sorry I couldn't help... BTW if my example was real glass it would be dearer than the door... I like it.
