Step 2: Learn How To Size & Install Side Lights
To view dimensional data please read our document.	Dimensional Data
Contains specific information 1/2 Light sizes and more.	Created with Adobe

	Left: Side Light Panel as shown with rough opening exposed. Right: Side Light Panel as shown with mounted frame. Check your existing side light panels by removing the inside frame. This usually is accomplished by the removal of about 10 screws from the inside of the home. Important Note: Always retain the services of a professional if you are not comfortable in performing this step. The opening should measure about 8 7/8”Wide X 36 7/8”High. If your measurements are within an 1/8” to a 1/16” of an inch the standard frames which we carry in stock will work with your openings. If the sizes are different please contact us for obtaining the correct frames.
Half & Full Light Frames Standard grades are ready for paint or the deluxe grade which can be stained or painted.
We provide the frames, art glass panels, hardware and written instructions with each order.
Paintable	Stainable

A lot of homes with side lights have what appears to be separation bars or mullion bars. The picture to the top left shows the old frames with the bars. The new frames shown at top middle have no bars to obstruct the design process. The side light "close up" shows a standard listed size common in many homes of 8"x36" (width X height). Other sizes are available in the half light series. We stock two styles of frames with your side light order Paintable Vinyl (standard) Stainable or Paintable Vinyl (deluxe) Full Light Half Light 8x36 Other sizes available on request
Assembly
Parts

We use quality parts such as genuine beveled glass, the best lead channels and solders, and custom plotted designs, which are made in-house.
Mounting

Prior to mounting the glass to one half of the frame set a bead of clear silicone is ran. This insures a tight seal.	The silicone is smoothed out over the edges of both the frame and the glass panels.


We like to maintain a high degree of standards by insuring all work is something we would have in our own homes.	Inspection is an important part of the overall assembly process.

Side Light Reviews

Just wanted to express our thanks for the sidelights. The new frames arrived in good condition and the lights are up. You do great work- the sidelights look wonderful.

Thanks again,

Shawn Stobbe & family

Hi Rob:

Received the sidelight today (HSL03, custom colors. brass came) and it’s even nicer than I had hoped for! (whew!, wasn’t sure how the colors would look together.)

Anyway, I’ll take digital photos of my husband installing it and send them to you, if you still would like that. Let me know.

Thanks so so much,

Susan

Thanks for kind words, and by all means take some pictures please, yes send them over. I will post onsite.
