Transom Windows Above Interior Doors

Standard or wide stiles available.

Transom windows above interior doors. This is normal there is no need to align them. Our transoms are single pane 1 4 annealed glass with simulated divided lite with 1 3 16 muntin bars. Wood transoms provide beautiful detail to interior doors. We have done interior transoms in our homes.

The windows are generally rectangular and placed horizontally and may be sectioned with trim. An open transom window in the winter helped heat from the central fireplace reach bedrooms at night. 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. So for a 2 8 door so would order a 2 8 transom.

Historically operable transom windows above doors played a role in the heating and cooling in a home. Standard installation 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. Interior trim will match the door unit. Choose interior or exterior models.

For single doors simply order a transom sash that is the same width as the door slab that will go underneath. Transom windows also called transom lights sit above an entry patio or interior door or other windows. We then use divided light grids on the transoms and have them match the exterior windows. A transom over a double door better visually connects the two rooms and shares light between the two.

Operable transoms have sashes that can be opened or closed to help regulate the temperature in a room when the door is closed. We would recommend doing the 6 8 door with the transom above it. Door transoms can be used on interior doors and these are mainly ornamental in nature. Transoms separate doors from windows above the door and allow extra light to enter your home when they are placed above exterior windows.

The pattern or design of the muntins for the transom usually does not align with the muntin bars or stiles of the doors below. We have the transoms custom built onsite. Choose from interior single pane and exterior insulated options. Both business and residential buildings installed these windows atop doors leading into offices dining areas or libraries creating a continuous flow of air and light between spaces.
