Transoms are short windows placed directly above a window or door, and will typically span the same width. They have been a traditional architectural feature in many historic buildings, and a little charm and visual appeal to the design. Transoms can be equipped with screens to allow for ventilation while also keeping pesky insects out. Transoms allow in a little extra natural light, brightening up the room and reducing the need for artificial lighting throughout the day. A transom that matches the style of your windows and doors creates a visual flow and cohesiveness throughout the space.
