Tell Us What You Want to Change
We discuss natural light, privacy, appearance, comfort, operation, and any problems with the current entrance.
We help you choose an entry door with sidelights around your opening, privacy needs, home style, glazing preferences, and installation requirements.
from the outside and comfortable from within the home. Adding one or two sidelights can brighten a dark foyer, make the doorway feel wider, and create a more balanced exterior design.
The right result depends on more than choosing an attractive glass pattern.
Privacy, opening dimensions, door swing, frame construction, glazing, weather seals, hardware, and installation all affect how the finished entrance looks and performs. We review these details together so your door and sidelights feel like one coordinated system.
From our Saint-Hubert location, we serve homeowners throughout Montreal and Greater Montreal. We also review qualifying door projects elsewhere in Quebec and Canada. With more than 10 years of window and door experience, we help homeowners and professional buyers compare complete entrance configurations with greater clarity.

Glass Styles
Sidelights can transform how an entrance feels.
They can bring daylight into an enclosed foyer, reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, and create a stronger connection between the front door and the exterior of the home.
The main decision is how much visibility you want.
Clear glass provides the greatest exterior view and visual openness. It may suit entrances set back from the street, properties with landscaping, or layouts where direct visibility is not a concern.
Frosted and textured glass allow natural light to enter while softening the view into the home. These options may suit street-facing entrances, nearby walkways, or homes positioned close to neighbouring properties.
Decorative glass combines pattern, texture, and visual detail. It can also coordinate the sidelights with a matching or complementary glass insert in the door.
Privacy can change between day and night. A glass design that feels private during daylight may allow more visibility when interior lights are on after dark.
The best layout depends on the overall opening, position of the door, exterior proportions, and available interior space.
A single sidelight may suit:
A one-sidelight layout can add light and visual interest while preserving a more compact opening.
Two sidelights can create:
A double-sidelight configuration generally requires more width. We review the available opening, structural conditions, exterior finishes, door operation, and interior layout before confirming whether it is suitable.
Selected entrance systems may support wider sidelights, direct-set glass, transoms, or other specialty layouts.
Availability depends on:
We begin with the opening rather than assuming every inspiration photo or catalogue configuration will suit every home.
Find Your Ideal Sidelight ConfigurationA well-designed entrance should feel connected to the architecture of the property.
We help you consider:
A contemporary home may suit a clean panel with larger areas of simple glass. A traditional exterior may call for decorative glazing, embossed details, or a symmetrical two-sidelight arrangement.
The goal is to create one cohesive entrance rather than a collection of separate selections.
Our entry-door pathways include Novatech door and glass options. We confirm design, glass, colour, and sidelight compatibility for the selected entrance before the order proceeds.
Homeowners comparing entry doors with sidelights in Canada often worry that the additional glass will create a colder entrance.
Performance depends on the complete assembly:
Available configurations may include Low-E glass, insulated glazing, or other product-specific options. Exact availability depends on the selected door and sidelight system.
A larger glass area can perform differently from a mostly solid entrance. That does not mean sidelights are unsuitable for Canadian conditions. It means the glazing, frames, seals, threshold, and installation should be selected and reviewed together.
We help you compare the complete entrance rather than making the decision based only on the amount of glass.
An older entrance may feel cold or uncomfortable because of more than the glass.
Possible concerns include:
We review the current condition so the quotation reflects the project more accurately.

Adding sidelights to an opening that does not currently have them may require more work than replacing an existing door-and-sidelight assembly.
We review the photos, available dimensions, and entrance conditions before discussing the most appropriate options.
Submit Your Entrance DimensionsA clear process helps keep the entrance design, measurements, glazing, hardware, and installation requirements aligned before the order proceeds.
We discuss natural light, privacy, appearance, comfort, operation, and any problems with the current entrance.
We review the door, sidelights, transom, frame, threshold, and surrounding finishes.
We help you consider one sidelight, two sidelights, door styles, glass options, colours, and hardware.
We confirm the proposed products, dimensions, glazing, frame, installation needs, location, and details still requiring approval.

We define the proposed products and project scope before the order proceeds, reducing uncertainty around measurements, inclusions, and installation.
Selected entrances may include one or two sidelights. Availability depends on the opening dimensions, door system, frame, and selected configuration.
Privacy varies by glass design. Frosted, textured, and selected decorative glass generally provide more visual screening than clear glass.
Many entrance designs support matching or coordinated glass. Compatibility depends on the door model, glass collection, dimensions, and configuration.
The result depends on the glazing, frames, seals, threshold, opening condition, and installation. We review the complete entrance rather than evaluating the glass alone.
It may be possible, but opening and structural modifications may be required. We review the available width, framing, finishes, and selected entrance system before confirming feasibility.
