Separate transom windows for above doors.

Operable transoms have sashes that can be opened or closed to help regulate the temperature in a room when the door is closed. Imagine walking up to an entryway lined with a transom and set of sidelights as opposed to a solid panel door. Installing a transom above an entry door is perhaps the most common use for transom windows. We sell and install a huge variety of attractive transom doors for commercial buildings where they provide a way for a building to be identified out from the street.

We do not make doors but you can choose most any door that you can find and we will build an exterior transom to fit above it. A transom is a horizontal crossbar that separates the rest of the door from the window over it. So for a 2 8 door so would order a 2 8 transom. They allow natural light to stream into your entryway.

Elliptical transom windows also called transom lights sit above an entry patio or interior door or other windows. With two styles available to choose from you can add design interest with a rectangular transom or elliptical transom. Typically non operating and used to add style and increase natural light transoms span the width of the opening they top and can be placed above single or double doors and sidelites. Transom windows the ages old above the door architectural elements are back in a big way.

We can also build a jamb matching your wall thickness so the the transom unit is ready to install once it arrives. Transoms are stationary sections of glass placed above an entry door and its sidelights. Many homes both traditional and contemporary feature an entry door with arched or straight line transoms accompanied by sidelights. The windows are generally rectangular and placed horizontally and may be sectioned with trim.

An exterior transom window above entry doors with sidelights artistically produces an impression of drama and awe inspiring design. Transom windows start at under 100 for non operable vinyl wood or aluminum frames and go up in. Transoms separate doors from windows above the door and allow extra light to enter your home when they are placed above exterior windows. For single doors simply order a transom sash that is the same width as the door slab that will go underneath.
