Why you should have windows on your doors

There are many reasons why you should choose to install a door with a window. Check out the following most popular incentives for such doors.

● The added lighting will illuminate your home, even at the entrance. In a typical house with solid doors, lights and overhead lights must be used to make the first impression of the house not dark and gloomy.

● The chances of being the nicest house on the block increase dramatically. Doors with windows, especially those with painted or special glass, are often considered the most attractive entrances.

● On garage doors, it increases the visibility of normally dark areas.

● It can serve as a great peephole. If you have a window you can peek through, you don't need a peephole that barely works!

● It may help your home appreciate in value, especially if these windows are a traditional aspect of the home and retain some of its previous history.
