A front door can say a lot about the homeowner. The color, style, shape, and material all can make a statement. Do you want to add some flare or style to your front door? Improve the style and function of your home’s entryway by installing a front door with a window. We will weigh in on why you should add a front door with a window. An upgrade to a door you and future owners will enjoy.
1) Curb Appeal
Let’s be honest, it’s always about curb appeal. Whether you are selling or just trying to keep up with the “Joneses” adding a door with a window can make your home look more aesthetically pleasing. If you are creative, think about using stained glass. There are plenty of great styles available. You could even go for a custom design. You could incorporate your house number, your initials, some of your favorite imagery, or maybe even a family crest.
2) Natural Light
There’s nothing quite like sunlight streaming into your home. It can brighten your day. Natural light is one of the best ways to help the interior of a home feel more spacious and inviting. With a front door with a window, you gain additional lighting that will brighten your entryway, allowing you to make a great impression on guests. Depending on the size of the window the added light can even provide some extra warmth during the winter.
3) Security
Windows allow residents to see who is at their door without looking through a small, distorted peephole or opening the door. People often think of windows as a security weakness, but there is something to be said for the doors with a window allowing you to see outside clearly. If privacy is a major concern for you, then think about the stained glass mentioned above or adding frosted tint.

From more contemporary doors that feature full glass panels with modern hardware and framing to traditional doors with divided panes and wooden framework, the options are endless.
