Having windows on your garage doors can be beneficial. Unfortunately, they
also pose a safety hazard to your family. You need to ask yourself if the
glass used is strong enough and durable to keep away thieves. Before
deciding to add the windows to your garage doors, you need to take a lot
into consideration. Although most garage doors do not come with pre-
installed windows, you can always go back and have them added.

Pros of having garage windows

Appeal

Garage windows add to the visual appeal of your curb. What’s more, you can
even have them coordinated with the other house windows for an overall
appeal.

Light

Garages are often dark and adding windows on your doors can enhance the
natural light that gets in.

Cons of having garage doors

Less privacy

Depending on where you place the windows, they can enable anyone to see
inside your garage. This puts your belongings, as well as your house, in
imminent danger.

Less energy efficient

Adding windows to your garage doors will certainly make your garage a bit
less energy efficient.

You will have to weigh the pros and cons of having the garage door windows.
Should the pros outweigh the cons, you can go ahead and have them
installed. However, do not have just any other windows installed. Take a
look at some of the things to consider when installing the garage door
windows.

Design

Choosing the perfect design should be a key priority. You will need to
choose a design that complements the existing design of your home. Remember
that the design will affect the overall look of your home, so customize the
shape of the windows with that in mind.

Safety

As much as you desire the natural light, you do not want to put your safety
in jeopardy. Consider placing the windows at the top section of the doors
only. You can further go ahead and choose tinted or frosted windows. They
will maintain your privacy, while at the same time letting natural light
into the garage.

Quality material

Choose windows made from quality material. For the window panes, I suggest
polypropylene which does not fade over time like other materials. Use real
glass for the windows which does not scratch easily. Go extra and use
double panes rather than single panes for added security. They also
maintain your garage’s energy efficiency.

Cost efficiency

While deciding what garage windows to install, you will have to consider
the cost of the windows. The cost of garage door repair can also be large. Although some windows may seem more expensive initially, they could prove to be more cost efficient if you take into account installation and maintenance. Rather than opt for cheap windows that will have you always replacing them, go for the expensive but more durable ones. They could save you some pennies in the long run.

Garage door windows are not a necessity, but they do enhance the appeal of
your curb. If you decide to have them installed, make sure to take the
necessary steps to ensure your safety.

Video output:

Most of the DVD players will have an output from where you can connect the player to your television and also play the video or audio content on the disc. A CD player does not have any output for videos, and you can listen only to audio. So you cannot use play DVDs in a CD player.

Capacity:

One of the most significant differences between CDs and DVDs is its capacity. CDs can store digital data, and you can store about 700MB of data in a standard CD. With 700MB of data, you can listen to 80 minutes audio and 60 minutes of video. The Digital Versatile Disc can hold up to 4.7 GB of data. Thus you can use DVDs to store large files like movies and videos.

Dual Layer:

DVDs have a laser layer which equips the drive to read double-layer DVDs. There are two layers of data which are set on each other to make space for data to fit into the disc. There might be chances of losing audio and resolution quality in the process. Most of the films are produced in this format.  We all must have bought a DVD video, and we often find two discs; this is because there should not be any loss of video or audio quality. Unlike DVD players, the CD players, are not designed to read information placed in multiple layers in a disc.

Playback:

DVD players can play DVDs and CDs, but a CD player cannot play DVDs.  Thus if you have an album on a CD, you will not be able to play it in a DVD player. Compact discs were widely used to store music albums as it stores an entire record at a lower price. DVD is more often used to for storing videos as it can hold more data than a CD.

Multiple Formats:

The two formats in a disc are CD-RW and CD-R. The difference is that you can record on a CD-RW. Many DVD formats like DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-RAM and DVD+RW have been created these years. If you happen to have old DVD players, then it might not accept all the new formats. The DVD players that produced in the recent years are designed to accept all DVD formats, and it also accepts all CD formats.
