Pro: Windows Let in Natural Light
Perhaps the biggest advantage of choosing a garage door with a window is that it brings in natural light. Without windows, garages can be very dark. You will not need as much electric light in your garage, which can save on energy – especially if you use the garage for something other than parking your cars. If you want to use it to workout or to work on home improvement options, having bright, natural sunlight can help the space feel more appealing and even larger.
Con: You Will Lose Insulation
Windows will let in cold air during the colder months. If you do not have windows, you will have better insulation and more control over the temperature. Know that the windows used in garage doors do not have the same number of panes or amount of insulation compared to the windows in your home.
