What Are Transom Windows?
Transom windows are installed above doors or larger windows, typically at the top of a wall. They can be found in both residential and commercial buildings, serving various functions depending on the design and layout of the space. They are typically used for architectural and decorative purposes, adding style, natural light, and ventilation for interior spaces.
Whether used for architectural embellishment, natural light, ventilation, or privacy, transom windows add a distinctive and timeless element to any building design.

Transom Windows Styles
Fixed transom windows are non-operable and remain in a fixed position. They are often used for architectural embellishment, allowing natural light to enter while adding visual interest to the facade or interior space. Fixed transoms can come in various shapes, including rectangular, arched, or curved.
Operable transom windows can be opened and closed to regulate airflow and ventilation. They are typically hinged at the top or bottom, allowing them to pivot inward or outward. Operable transoms are useful for enhancing natural ventilation and can be combined with other windows or doors to create customizable airflow options.
Stained glass transom windows add color, texture, and decorative patterns to interior and exterior spaces. They are often used as focal points or artistic accents, adding visual interest and enhancing the ambiance of a room. Stained glass transoms can be customized with intricate designs, motifs, or imagery to suit specific architectural themes or personal preferences.
Arched or curved transom windows add architectural elegance and sophistication to buildings. They are often used to complement arched or curved doors and windows, creating a harmonious and cohesive design aesthetic. Arched transoms can be fixed or operable, depending on the desired functionality and design requirements.
