Transom Windows Above Interior Doors

This is normal there is no need to align them.

Transom windows above interior doors.

Interior trim will match the door unit. The windows are generally rectangular and placed horizontally and may be sectioned with trim. We have done interior transoms in our homes. 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.

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. Wood transoms provide beautiful detail to interior doors. We then use divided light grids on the transoms and have them match the exterior windows. Eventually transom windows earned a dominant role in households not just above exterior doors but within the interior space of a home as well.

We would recommend doing the 6 8 door with the transom above it. Standard or wide stiles available. Choose from interior single pane and exterior insulated options. Transom windows also called transom lights sit above an entry patio or interior door or other windows.

For single doors simply order a transom sash that is the same width as the door slab that will go underneath. 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. Historically operable transom windows above doors played a role in the heating and cooling in a home.

Transom windows delivered to your door transom windows. 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. Operable transoms have sashes that can be opened or closed to help regulate the temperature in a room when the door is closed. Our transoms are single pane 1 4 annealed glass with simulated divided lite with 1 3 16 muntin bars.

We would strongly recommend going with the transom. Choose interior or exterior models. An open transom window in the winter helped heat from the central fireplace reach bedrooms at night. Transoms separate doors from windows above the door and allow extra light to enter your home when they are placed above exterior windows.
