3 Reasons To Choose A Large Window Insert

Adding a window insert to your front door is a good way to give the door a new, fresh appearance. Coupled with one or more coats of paint, this project can boost your home's curb appeal considerably. When you begin to shop for window inserts, you'll notice that they are available in several different sizes. There are large inserts that cover the majority of the front door and smaller options that cover just a fraction of the door's surface. Each option can be appealing, but here are three reasons that you may want a large window insert.

More Natural Light

The larger your window insert, the more natural light it will allow to flow into your home. Small window inserts will only let a small amount of light into your residence, which may not appeal to you if you're looking for various ways to brighten the interior. When you choose a window insert that is almost as large as the front door, it's as though you're adding another window to the front of the home. The more natural light you can get in your foyer and main hallway, the larger these spaces can feel for your family and guests.

Welcoming Look

A lot of people may find that a large window insert helps to give the front of their home a welcoming look. This can particularly be true in the evening. When your yard is dark, the warm glow from the interior of your home will be visible through a large glass panel in your door — even if the panel is frosted for privacy. If you're someone who often enjoys inviting guests for dinner, you'll appreciate the welcoming look that a large panel of glass can offer. The glow from your home's interior will shine through the glass and help to brighten the porch and even the walkway beyond it.

Ability To See Inside

If you take pride in decorating the interior of your home in a stylish manner, you might like the idea of certain parts of it being visible through the window insert in your front door. Around the holidays, for example, the garland and lights that you have on the railing of your staircase or even your Christmas tree may be possible to see through the glass. If you live in a close-knit neighborhood, you might like these elements being visible to your neighbors as they pass your home. Visit a door and window retailer, such as Pat's Doors Inc, to browse its window inserts.
